13/8

9/1, good third of 11 in handicap at this C&D 15 days ago, better placed than most. Has to be taken seriously once again.

Koeman¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Rose Dawes⁽⁷⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 78| CD

6/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Hamilton in September. 14/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 15 days ago, not ideally placed. Return to this venue may suit, makes plenty of appeal.

Progressive²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Oliver Stammers⁽³⁾| T: N J Henderson| OR: 76

6/1

Lightly-raced winner on Flat. Fair winner at over hurdles. Fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, soft, 7/1) last month. Ran to recent Flat best at Lingfield on Wednesday but more needed.

Form: 6145/6-3

Forecasts

Chipiron (11/8), Angel On High (13/8), Progressive (6/1), Koeman (6/1)

KOEMAN has won over C&D in the past and he could be forgiven his most recent run here when held up off a slow pace. He should be able to return to form today. Angel On High ran well when returning from a break last month and he'll be a threat. Chipiron isn't out of it either.
