C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 6/1) 16 days ago. 2-3 at this course and he has to figure prominently in calculations.

25/1

14/1, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Windsor (6f, soft) 85 days ago. Others make more appeal from a win point of view.

Forecasts

Shamshon (7/2), Drakefell (7/2), Ballyare (4/1), Miaella (4/1), Dazzling Des (11/2), Heer We Go Again (6/1), Alsvinder (10/1), Chitra (12/1), Bellevarde (25/1)

The consistent DRAKEFELL has won 2 of his 3 previous starts here and makes plenty of appeal having slipped to a career-low mark. Heer We Go Again was narrowly outpointed by Ballyare over this C&D last time, but is taken to reverse the placings on these revised terms. He is second choice ahead of Shamshon, who is feared turned out quickly following his Lingfield victory on Saturday.
