Choosey¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: William Pyle⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 59| CD

22/1

Back to winning ways over C&D in January. Eighth of 10 in handicap (11/1) at this course (7.2f) 12 days ago, left poorly placed trying the longer trip for the first time. This more suitable.

Form: 006-158

Griggy^b¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: S W Kelly| T: S Curran| OR: 59| BF| CD

5/1

C&D winner. Three wins from 15 runs last year. Respectable third of 7 in handicap (2/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 13 days ago. Fancied to give another good account.

Form: 180-533

Kaafy⁸⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: J Mitchell| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 58| D

10/1

Sole success from 26 starts came at Southwell (6f) in November. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D (12/1) 80 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 91935-0

Manumission²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 57| BF

5/1

Promising individual. 10/3, sixth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 22 days ago, needing stiffer test. Back up in trip. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 876-266

Wiff Waff⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: A Wintle| OR: 56| D

16/1

22/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 45 days ago, understandably looking rusty on the back of 5 months off. Entitled to be sharper here.

Form: 21150-8

Blue Cable¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: William Carson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 56| BF| CD

6/1

Opened account over C&D in February. Respectable efforts both starts since, fourth of 8 in handicap at this course (7.2f, 3/1) 12 days ago, finding test too much. Contender back at 6f.

Form: 74-6124

(4)

Corndavon Lad^v¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 55

12/1

Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 22/1) 16 days ago. Ease back down in garde a plus but he may again find a couple too good.

Form: 0484-84

Major Valentine^t³⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-3| J: Ciaran McKee| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 55| CD

28/1

C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2019. 4 lengths fifth of 10 to Isabella Ruby in handicap at this C&D (40/1) 38 days ago. Needs to build on that further to feature.

Form: 0979-95

(7)

Port Noir^t¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Marco Ghiani⁽³⁾| T: R Stephens| OR: 54| D

7/1

First run since leaving Grace Harris when eighth of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Kempton (6f) 17 days ago. Tongue strap back on. This promises to reveal more.

Form: 50788-8

(12)

Miracle Garden^p¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R Brotherton| OR: 52| CD

6/1

3-time C&D winner. Won 11-runner minor event at this C&D (5/2) 15 days ago by 2½ lengths from Jungle Boogaloo. That was a convincing display and he's a player in this groove.

Form: 255-321

(9)

Isabella Ruby^h¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: Gavin Ashton⁽⁷⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 48| CD

33/1

Ended long losing run over C&D in January and similar form when fourth in a classifed event back here earlier this month. However, others make more appeal for win purposes.

Form: 067164

(5)

Jungle Boogaloo^h¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: George Rooke⁽³⁾| T: P J McBride| OR: 45

10/1

Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 17/2, creditable 2½ lengths second of 11 to Miracle Garden in minor event at this C&D 15 days ago, sticking to task. Each-way player once more.

Form: 6-52862

Forecasts

Griggy (5/1), Manumission (5/1), Blue Cable (6/1), Miracle Garden (6/1), Port Noir (7/1), Kaafy (10/1), Jungle Boogaloo (10/1), Corndavon Lad (12/1), Wiff Waff (16/1), Choosey (22/1), Major Valentine (28/1), Isabella Ruby (33/1)

MANUMISSION remains a maiden on the back of six career starts but not for the first time shaped as though a return to this trip would suit when a keeping-on sixth at Newcastle (5f) 23 days ago. He remains with some potential in that regard and shades the vote. Blue Cable looked stretched at 7f latest and is a player, whilst Miracle Garden won convincingly himself recently and should feature again.
