Iconic Knight¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: Darragh Keenan| T: A W Carroll| OR: 66| CD

8/1

C&D winner. 25/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good) 17 days ago. On a workable mark but needs to step up on recent efforts.

Form: 037739

Know No Limits^t1²⁷⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Dane O'Neill| T: A G Newcombe| OR: 62| D

18/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2019. largely below par in 2020. First run for yard after leaving Tom Dascombe. Tongue strap on first time. Worth a precautionary market check.

Form: 925809-

Atty's Edge¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: C Mason| OR: 61| C

4/1

Unreliable sort but is a course winner. Creditable third of 9 in handicap at this course (5f, good to firm) 16 days ago, nearest finish. Looks competitive on form.

Form: 1249-43

Lake Sand^v1¹⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: H Crouch| T: A Stronge| OR: 60

16/1

Well held when last seen around the turn of the year but was second off this mark at Wolverhampton in November. Visored first time.

Form: 77028-9

Tawaafoq^h¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: David Probert| T: A Wintle| OR: 59| CD

5/1

Made it perfect 3-3 over C&D when seeing off 9 rivals on reappearance. Little went right for him over 7f here latest and likely still in form. Should make bold bid to keep unbeaten C&D record intact.

Form: 410-178

(7)

We're Reunited¹⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: T E Whelan| T: R Harris| OR: 59

Enoughisgoodenough^b1³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 60

40/1

Modest maiden. Ninth of 11 in handicap (18/1) at Nottingham (6f, soft) on reappearance 34 days ago. First-time blinkers need to have a positive effect.

Form: 7640-9

Diamond Cottage¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: J F Egan| T: M S Saunders| OR: 50

10/3

10/1, below-form fourth of 8 in C&D handicap (good to firm) 10 days ago but had offered encouragement here the time before.

Form: 20-0044

Arceus^v1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Josephine Gordon| T: M Appleby| OR: 52

28/1

Blinkered first time, bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good, 20/1) 11 days ago. Visor the headgear of choice this time.

Rhubarb^h¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽⁷⁾| T: R J Price| OR: 45

9/1

16/1, creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at this course (5f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Each-way claims.

Form: 258-495

(6)

Castlerea Tess^p²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 8-11| J: Rob Hornby| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 45| CD

25/1

Unreliable type but a lot of her best efforts have been saved for this venue, including winning this race in 2017. Will need to step up considerably on this year's 3 efforts elsewhere, though.

Form: 650-700

Forecasts

Diamond Cottage (10/3), Atty's Edge (4/1), Tawaafoq (5/1), Red Bravo (8/1), Iconic Knight (8/1), Rhubarb (9/1), We're Reunited (12/1), Lake Sand (16/1), Know No Limits (18/1), Castlerea Tess (25/1), Arceus (28/1), Enoughisgoodenough (40/1)

TAWAAFOQ didn't get the breaks over 7f here last time and is likely still in form so he gets the nod to take his C&D record to 4-4. Atty's Edge is another with plenty of good course form so she's next best ahead of Diamond Cottage.
