6/1, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at this C&D 11 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Loulin. Should go close under penalty.

Suwaan^h²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: J Garritty| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 58| D

16/1

Ungenuine type. Twenty seven runs since last win in 2017. 22/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 27 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Gossip^p¹³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Jonathan Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 51

66/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, below form eighth of 13 in handicap (66/1) at Leicester (5f, good to firm). Off 137 days. Makes fibresand debut. Easy to look elsewhere.

125/1

Untrustworthy individual. C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2019. 9¼ lengths tenth of 14 to Slowmo in handicap at this C&D (66/1) 11 days ago. More needed.

Form: 9-67000

Bluella¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: A Mullen| T: M Appleby| OR: 47| CD

8/1

C&D winner. One win from 25 Flat runs. 10 lengths twelfth of 14 to Slowmo in handicap (17/2) at this C&D 11 days ago. Needs to improve.

Form: 87-2430

Forecasts

Loulin (11/4), Red Stripes (7/2), Arzaak (9/2), Slowmo (5/1), Bluella (8/1), George Thomas (11/1), Suwaan (16/1), Precious Plum (20/1), Gossip (66/1), Tan (125/1)

LOULIN was a little isolated towards the far side behind Slowmo over C&D last time. With a better track position and a 5 lb pull with that rival, he could reverse the form. Slowmo is thriving here though and can't be dismissed lightly. Arzaak is another C&D specialist who should be on the premises.
