Well beaten 14L last of five when contesting a 6f handicap on the fibresand at Southwell in March. Return to this venue and drop in trip a positive having won over this C&D last July.

11/2

Ended his time with Declan Carroll with a 3½L fourth in a handicap over this distance at Wolverhampton in early December. Interesting runner racing off a mark 6lb lower than when winning at Musselburgh (5f, good) in May last year.

Followed up a good effort in finishing a neck second over this C&D in February with a 4L fourth upped to 6f at Kempton the following month. Notable runner racing off a mark 8lb lower than for his most recent triumph.

Zac Brown^t¹¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: David Egan| T: C Wallis| OR: 79| CD

22/1

Ran well prior to weakening in the closing stages when finishing last of six in a 5f handicap at Lingfield in February when making his return from wind surgery. Worth a check in the market having won three times over this C&D in the past.

Form: 71529-6

Tone The Barone^t¹¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: S De Sousa| T: S C Williams| OR: 78| CD

1/1

Unbeaten in two starts following wind surgery with both victories coming over this C&D. Defied a 5lb penalty when successful just under four months ago and he looks likely to play a leading role racing off a 5lb higher mark on this occasion.

Form: 5128-11

Spirited Guest⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: T P Queally| T: G G Margarson| OR: 77| CD

9/2

Dual AW winner including by a head over this C&D last November. Fair efforts the last twice most recently when beaten 3¼L into sixth over this trip at Kempton last week.

Form: 1313-66

Bellevarde²¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: P Cosgrave| T: R J Price| OR: 76| BF| D

33/1

Winning for the sixth time when victorious by 1L in a soft ground 5f handicap at Nottingham in October. Below that form when sixth over the same C&D the following month however and interesting to see how his first AW start since April last year.

Form: 408216-

Red Stripes^b⁸⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 8-9| J: M Dwyer| T: L Williamson| OR: 70| CD

25/1

Completed a double when victorious over this distance at Southwell in early March and ran well when runner-up over the same C&D ten days later. Races off a mark 6lb higher than for that latest victory but has won over this C&D in the past.

Form: 233112

Forecasts

Tone The Barone (1/1), Spirited Guest (9/2), Abel Handy (11/2), Boom The Groom (8/1), Dapper Man (12/1), Zac Brown (22/1), Red Stripes (25/1), Bellevarde (33/1)

TONE THE BARONE has a top jockey booked to ride here and he looks capable of defying a 5lb rise in the weights to complete a C&D hat-trick in this sprint handicap. The selection can see off his rivals here with top weight Dapper Man capable of finishing runner-up on his return to this distance while third place can go to Abel Handy who has won off higher marks in the past.
