Hurdle winner in October. Took well to this surface when narrowly denied over C&D under Ella McCain 9 days ago. Obvious chance off the same mark.

Bill Cody³²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 58| CD

6/1

C&D winner. Cheekpieces on first time, creditable third of 11 over C&D when last seen 11 months ago. Much depends on whether he's primed on return. Headgear off.

Form: 44/1653-

12/1

Best run since joining this yard when second of 7 in handicap at this course (14f) 11 days ago. Claims if he can build on that.

Lucky Robin²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 8-13| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 47| C| D

Course winner in November. Ran poorly when fifth of 8 in handicap at this course (12f) 21 days ago but capable of bouncing back now stepping back up significantly in trip.

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Cam Hardie| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 50

8/1

Well held all 3 Flat runs. Little better over hurdles/in jumpers' bumper since. Basement mark for handicap debut but could still only consider if backed.

Seventh (Prairie Town fourth) of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (2m) 14 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Makes fibresand debut. Others have achieved more.

Forecasts

Beach Break (5/6), Bill Cody (6/1), I'm Easy (8/1), Lucky Robin (9/1), Prairie Town (11/1), Mister Universum (12/1), Misscarlett (16/1), Rathbride Prince (28/1)

BEACH BREAK went very close off this mark here 9 days ago and ought to take a bit of stopping if in similar form. Little Robin can shrug aside a poor run last time and provide the chief threat ahead of Prairie Town.
