Good C&D record this year; 2lb well in after last week's good second; solid candidate

Has his conditions and he's dropped in the weights; revival not out of the question
5 (4)	The Gay Blade Bay J:Andrew Mullen T:Iain Jardine	J:Andrew Mullen T:Iain Jardine	129	h	315232	52	73	66	10d	—	—	+2	16.1	1.13/1	9/2 18%
In good form since a hood went on in August; 7f on testing ground may stretch his stamina
8 (7)	Rogue Force Bay J:P J McDonald T:R Mike Smith	J:P J McDonald T:R Mike Smith	127	—	999393	50	73	53	9d	—	—	-4	7.8	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Down to a good mark now and last two runs here have hinted at a revival; considered

C&D winner in June; respectable efforts the last twice but behind Darbucks last week
1 (8)	Miss Calculation Bay J:Jason Hart T:John Quinn	J:Jason Hart T:John Quinn	136	—	615600	59	75	67	15d	—	—	0	6	3.25/1	14 7%
Well held in two runs back from a summer break but this is weaker and the ground will suit
4 (2)	Zebra Star Grey J:Sam James T:R Mike Smith	J:Sam James T:R Mike Smith	130	h	384695	55	71	54	9d	—	—	-3	3	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Not found her best form for this yard and work to do with Darbucks on last week's C&D run
9 (5)	Jazzagal Bay J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	125	—	273629	50	71	63	8d	—	—	+2	5.4	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Inconsistent this year and stamina for 7f has to be taken on trust
6 (3)	Debater Brown J:Ben Curtis T:Hugo Palmer	J:Ben Curtis T:Hugo Palmer	129	b	56-670	54	67	31	38d	—	—	-3	2.4	8.00/1	33 3%
Struggling this season; ground a concern; another change of headgear this time
10 (10)	Hollis Brown Bay J:Tom Eaves T:Linda Perratt	J:Tom Eaves T:Linda Perratt	122	p	766075	45	66	54	26d	—	—	-1	0.4	19.75/1	80 1%
Exposed maiden; conditions no problem but cheekpieces need to give him a lift
