7/2

Course winner on his debut in November but didn't take to fibresand when last of 8 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 31 days ago. Eyeshields go on now and not ruled out back on tapeta.

Raasel^h1¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: David Egan| T: M Appleby| OR: 76| BF| D

7/1

Fairly useful 5f 2-y-o winner but lightly raced and failed to build on recent Chelmsford second when last in 5f handicap at Lingfield (6/4) 13 days ago. Hood on for tapeta debut with bit to prove.

Form: 13/28

Buniann²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: K Stott| T: P T Midgley| OR: 75| CD

11/10

3-time C&D winner (latest in October) who posted another good effort here when second of 8 in handicap 28 days ago. Form has been franked so he holds good claims despite 2 lb rise.

Form: 52160-2

Dapper Man¹⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: B A Curtis| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 71| D

11/1

Latest win at Redcar in September and good sixth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (5f) when last on the track in October. Not taken lightly if fully tuned up for his return.

Forecasts

Buniann (11/10), Mondammej (7/2), Duke Of Firenze (11/2), Raasel (7/1), Dapper Man (11/1), Saluti (12/1)

BUNIANN goes really well here and arrives in excellent order too with his recent second proving good form so is fancied to notch a fourth C&D victory. Antony Brittain has won the past two runnings of this event so his course winner Mondammej is feared most now back on tapeta having not handled Southwell's fibresand last time. In-form veteran Duke of Firenze is rated next best.
