Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽⁷⁾| T: P Butler| OR: 61| C

33/1

Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D 37 days ago. 2 lb lower on this debut for new yard and she has to enter calculations.

Form: 848-294

10/1

22/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at this course (8f, AW) 2 days ago, left poorly placed. Has slipped to a decent mark, but stall 12 isn't ideal and she's opposable for win purposes.

Form: 66275-9

Aces N Kings^h¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: M Dwyer| T: C Allen| OR: 60| BF

15/8

Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable third of 11 in handicap (6/4) at Kempton (7f) 16 days ago, better placed than most. 4 lb rise tolerable and he should be in the thick of things.

Form: 549-23

6/1

11/1, first run since leaving Ed Walker when creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 46 days ago, possibly helped by way race developed. Shortlist material.

Form: 538/97-5

Far From A Ruby²⁰³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Georgia Dobie⁽⁵⁾| T: W R Muir| OR: 60

40/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 7/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f). Off 6 months ahead of this polytrack debut and she needs a couple of these to falter.

10/1

Three-time C&D winner, the latest in October. 28/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at this course (8f, AW) 81 days ago, but he hasn't been treated kindly by the draw.

Form: 331853-

Pour La Victoire^b⁴²

Age: 11| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon| T: A W Carroll| OR: 60| CD

17/2

Three-time C&D winner. 4/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 42 days ago. Blinkers back on and no surprise if this 11-y-o is on the premises.

Form: 125-554

Bint Dandy^b⁴²

Age: 10| Weight: 9-5| J: Tyler Heard⁽⁷⁾| T: C Wallis| OR: 58| CD

20/1

C&D winner. 6/1, bit below form 5½ lengths fifth of 10 to Axel Jacklin in handicap at this C&D (AW) 42 days ago. Now 3 lb below last winning mark, but others preferred all the same.

Form: 979-365

Axel Jacklin^b⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 57| CD

7/2

Won 10-runner handicap (6/1) at this C&D (AW) 42 days ago, keeping on well. That was his fourth C&D success and a 4 lb rise may not be enough to debar another bold show.

Form: 10800-1

Western Dawn⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: S W Kelly| T: George Baker| OR: 55

22/1

Last of 11 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 28/1) 54 days ago. Readily passed over.

Form: 000/03-0

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Charlie Bennett| T: J R Boyle| OR: 48

50/1

Bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 13/2), running on. Off 134 days and hood on 1st time. Place possibilities if she puts her best foot forward.

14/1

25/1, good third of 14 in minor event at this C&D (AW) 20 days ago, nearest finish. Likely to find one or two too good once more.

Forecasts

Aces N Kings (15/8), Axel Jacklin (7/2), Clegane (6/1), Pour La Victoire (17/2), Magicinthemaking (10/1), Prince Rock (10/1), Agent Of Fortune (10/1), Boy George (12/1), Kyllinga (14/1), Bint Dandy (20/1), Western Dawn (22/1), Ahorsecalledwanda (33/1), Far From A Ruby (40/1), Pure Purfection (50/1)

There were positives to glean from CLEGANE's effort on debut for this yard at Chelmsford in January and, back at 7f off this 2 lb lower mark, she may well be the answer to what looks an open race. Ahorsecalledwanda put in a decent shift over C&D last time and she is feared on her first start for Paddy Butler. Axel Jacklin, a decisive winner here last time, and Aces N Kings are others to consider.
