12/1

4-time C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2019. Respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (50/1) 35 days. Has slipped in weights, so dangerous if he can build on that.

Form: 0V900-5

4/1

3-time C&D winner. Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at this C&D (6/1) 30 days ago, cosily. Needs another career-best effort to land the hat-trick, but she's in terrific form.

10/1

FALLEN FOREST benefited from the fitting of cheekpieces and the assistance of Siobhan Rutledge when off the mark over C&D 14 days ago and, while a big price that day, he's worth a chance to follow up. Kalanoura was a place behind the selection then, so warrants respect despite stall 16 and the hat-trick seeking Lady of Luxury is another obvious player.
