Fair maiden who posted creditable fifth of 15 in handicap over C&D 90 days ago. Still has few miles on the clock so in the mix dropped 1 lb.

11/4

40/1

Arrives out of sorts, last of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 17 days ago. Cheekpieces go on now with questions to answer.

Form: 48/800-0

Zefferino^t¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: M R Bosley| OR: 60| CD

15/2

Dual C&D winner who didn't enjoy the rub of the green when ninth in 10f handicap at Lingfield 13 days ago, forced very wide on home turn. Back on a winning mark so he merits serious consideration.

Form: 06773-9

Weloof²³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Joshua Bryan⁽³⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 60| CD

15/2

Arrives on a long losing run but he caught the eye when fifth of 11 in 8.6f handicap (11/2) at Wolverhampton 23 days ago. C&D winner so well worth considering off reduced mark.

Form: 260085-

Forecasts

Channel Packet (11/4), Win Win Power (9/2), Dutugamunu (11/2), Casina Di Notte (6/1), Salam Ya Faisal (13/2), Zefferino (15/2), Weloof (15/2), Cheat (40/1)

A case can be made for a few here but the most persuasive one is for ZEFFERINO who has hinted at a revival of late and now figures on a very attractive mark having gained the second of his C&D wins off 6 lb higher. Weloof is winless since early 2019 but another who looks ready to take a step forward again now, with in-form C&D scorer Channel Packet sure to be in the mix too.
