Straitouttacompton^p,t¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: I Furtado| OR: 75| CD

5/1

Four-time C&D winner, including twice in February. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm, 12/1) 13 days ago. Looks vulnerable off present mark.

Form: 765-118

Star Of St James¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 74| CD

7/2

Three-time C&D winner. Latest win here in January. 7/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Leading claims back on this surface.

Form: 3-11450

Tilsitt^p,t⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Harrison Shaw| T: I Furtado| OR: 74| CD

4/1

13/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, won 11-runner handicap at this C&D 54 days ago by length from Bond Angel. Now 9 lb higher, but another bold show anticipated all the same.

Form: 1088-91

(2)

Cruising^b¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: K Stott| T: D H Brown| OR: 74

9/1

5/1 and blinkered for 1st time, bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 15 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Good each-way chance if taking to this surface.

Form: 73327-5

Bond Angel^p³²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Jonathan Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 70| CD

10/1

Five-time C&D winner. Two wins from 5 runs last year. Fifth of 6 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 13/2) 32 days ago and she'll probably find a few too good once more.

Form: 542315

Revolutionary Man²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Ryan Tate| T: R Brisland| OR: 69

10/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in February. Good second of 10 in handicap (50/1) at Kempton (8f) 20 days ago, having run of race. By no means certain to reproduce that form here.

Form: 142162

Curtiz⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Charlie Bennett| T: H Morrison| OR: 65

6/1

Winner at Lingfield in January. Bit below form sixth of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 7/2) 48 days ago. Possibilities if able to bounce back.

Form: 9824-16

(7)

Van Dijk⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 55| CD

7/1

Unreliable individual. C&D winner. Latest win at Newcastle in January. 9/1, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 8 days ago, nearest finish. Still, others preferred.

Form: 219294

Forecasts

Star Of St James (7/2), Tilsitt (4/1), Straitouttacompton (5/1), Curtiz (6/1), Van Dijk (7/1), Cruising (9/1), Revolutionary Man (10/1), Bond Angel (10/1)

TILSITT did the job well from the front over C&D last time and a 9 lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from following up. Star of St James needs to bounce back following a couple of rather disappointing efforts, but he'll be a danger to all if able to do so. Curtiz is likely to play a part in the finish and Cruising will also have a chance if taking to this surface.
