4/5
Won at Southwell earlier in the year and has held his form well since then. Comes here after a couple of fair efforts and should again be capable making the rest aware of his presence. First try with significant cut in the ground but breeding suggests he'll cope.

Improved from debut run to win at Wolverhampton last onth and may have plenty more to offer. A mark of 80 does look stiff for what she's achived, however, and another big step forward is required.

Won at Newcastle in March but lost his way since then. First run back after gedling operartion left a lot to be desired when he finished last of seven at Thirsk last month. Others more appealing here.

3/1
Took a while to get the hang of things but has got her act together well just now. Added to her tally well at Sandown last month - seemingly relsihing the soft ground on that occasion. A 4lb rise for that win looks fair and another bold bid can be expected on ground that should suit.

Four runs into her career and yet to seriously trouble the judge. Currently has a lot to prove and probably best watched on debut for a new yard.

Forecasts

Native Prospect (4/5), Pondering (3/1), Blushing Red (6/1), Twenty Times (7/1), Fools And Kings (8/1), Poet's Charm (18/1)

Verdict

The ground will be to the liking of TWENTY TIMES and, as a previous C&D winner, her proven ability to handle this testing track is a persuasive factor. Pondering should also handle the ground and can go close under just a 4lb higher mark after winning last time out, while Fools And Kings is open to plenty of improvement and is also feared.
  1. Twenty Times
  2. Pondering
  3. Fools And Kings
