Verdict

KING ROLY is back at the top of his game and went like the best horse at the weights when denied by a stablemate at Cartmel. He can land a second C&D success. Snipe has to be the danger after his near-miss at Warwick.

3	Back on track of late, resuming winning ways in C&D handicap in August in first-time blinkers. Foiled by a stablemate delivered later at Cartmel last time but went like the best horse at the weights and could be up to defying a career-high mark. 1st Pick 3 King Roly Jockey: James Bowen Trainer: Mickey Bowen J: James Bowen T: Mickey Bowen	100	-	-	-	50%

2	Two hunter chase wins this year and also a creditable sixth in the Aintree Foxhunter in April. Better for comeback and just failed in 3-runner handicap at Warwick (25f) a fortnight ago.

5	Won 3m Southwell handicap chase in March 2025. Didn't fire in 3 runs last season but returns off last successful mark for in-form yard and could go well. 3rd Pick 5 Awaythelad (Ire) Jockey: Ben Jones Trainer: Ben Pauling J: Ben Jones T: Ben Pauling	94	-	-	-	19%
