Rajman^h²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover| OR: 57| CD

9/4

Scored over this C&D two starts back by a neck. Was unable to follow it up last time out on the AW at Lingfield (7f) as he could only finish fifth of 13, 2½L behind the winner. Is down 1lb. One for the shortlist.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: R Kingscote| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 55

4/1

Is still a maiden after eight starts. He was second at this course (1m) three appearances ago, beaten by just a neck. His last two outings have been disappointing, including his latest start here over 1m. Others are preferred.

Bold Decision⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A W Carroll| OR: 54

3/1

Has been unable to get off the mark in five attempts. Was much better last time on his opening run for his new yard as he finished seventh of 12, just 4½L behind at Wolverhampton (6f). This trip should suit. Big player.

Vincenzo Coccotti^p²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Liam Keniry| T: P R Chamings| OR: 53| D

12/1

Was successful just once in 2019 and that win came at Chelmsford (7f) in an 11 runner contest. Has had five attempts since then where he has run respectably well without success. Worth consideration from this latest mark.

Hollander^b,t⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 51| C

33/1

Prevailed at this track over 6f back in September by just a neck. Has been largely disappointing in his thee outings since then, including latest over this C&D as he had just one horse behind him in a 14 runner field. Others appeal more.

Declamation²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-3| J: Joey Haynes| T: J Butler| OR: 51| D

16/1

Was below his best form in 2019 where he featured seven times without victory. He was ninth of 12 over this distance at Lingfield on the AW on his latest attempt. Is now 9lb lower than his last winning mark. Must be respected.

Valley Belle^p,t⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Grace McEntee⁽⁷⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 49

16/1

Her sole success came at Chelmsford (6f) in November 2018. Has been close to another victory earlier this month as she has finished second over this trip at Chelmsford and Wolverhampton. One to consider.

Obsession For Gold^t³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: D C Costello| T: Mrs I G-Leveque| OR: 48

16/1

Still looking for his first win following 10 starts. He was denied by just a neck when he was second of 12 at Wolverhampton (6f) three runs ago. Could only finish 12th of 14 last time at Chelmsford (7f). Capable of bouncing back from latest effort.

Cool Echo²³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 47| CD

16/1

Her only victory to date came over this C&D back in January 2019. Has not featured since she was sixth of 15 at Chelsmford (1m) back in May. Is down 1lb in the weights. Best to watch on her return to action.

Satchville Flyer^p¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 8-12| J: Raul Da Silva| T: J M Bradley| OR: 46| CD

33/1

Experienced gelding who was a winner over this C&D last time out when he got up by a short-head after going off at 20/1. His form prior to that victory was disappointing. Others are preferred on this follow up attempt.

Form: 6878-81

Maerchengarten^b⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Callum Shepherd| T: E De Giles| OR: 45

66/1

Remains a maiden after eight starts. She featured over 5f last time on the AW at Southwell where she was ninth of 11. Stepping back up in trip and is down 1lb in the weights. Needs to take a big step forward to be in the mix.

Forecasts

Rajman (9/4), Bold Decision (3/1), Itmakesyouthink (4/1), Vincenzo Coccotti (12/1), Declamation (16/1), Cool Echo (16/1), Valley Belle (16/1), Obsession For Gold (16/1), Satchville Flyer (33/1), Hollander (33/1), Maerchengarten (66/1)

BOLD DECISION was slowly away last time at Wolverhampton but finished the race strongly so this step up in distance gives him a great chance of breaking his maiden from the same mark.Rajman won over this C&D two runs ago and is the biggest danger on his return to this course, while Valley Belle has finished second over this distance at Chelmsford and Wolverhampton already this month and may have to settle for the placings again.
