10/1

Third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (15.6f, good to soft, 11/2) 21 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Class act on his day on the level and worth considering under Kingscote.

Daheer¹⁵

17/2

5/2, won 7-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 15 days ago. Good record there and needs to carry that form over to this track (first run here) but it's certainly possible.

22/1

10/1, third of 5 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 9 days ago. Given a chance by the handicapper and ran well over C&D at this time last year under Morris. Could feature for yard among the winners.

King Carney¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: A W Carroll| OR: 77

125/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2019. 13½ lengths eighth of 9 to Totally Charming in handicap (22/1) at Kempton (8f) 14 days ago. Back up in trip. Out of sorts and hard to fancy.

Form: 58666-8

Marion's Boy^p³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽³⁾| T: R A Teal| OR: 77| CD

11/1

15/8, career best when winning 7-runner handicap here (fourth victory over C&D) 38 days ago, cosily. Up just 2 lb and plenty to recommend him again.

Songkran¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Harry Davies⁽⁷⁾| T: G Boughey| OR: 72| D

25/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. 16/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 12 days ago, merely closing up late. Lots to like about his young 7 lb claimer on early evidence.

Form: 63656-4

Danni California¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-6| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R Spencer| OR: 68

16/1

Won at Southwell in December. Very good fourth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 8/1) 13 days ago, nearest finish. Up in trip. More needed.

Form: 25361-4

Forecasts

Totally Charming (5/4), Dingle (10/3), Daheer (17/2), First Impression (10/1), Marion's Boy (11/1), Uzincso (14/1), Danni California (16/1), Athmad (22/1), Songkran (25/1), King Carney (125/1)

MARION'S BOY has been looking hard to beat over this C&D and is fancied to get the 4-timer up for his in-form yard. Totally Charming, under Ryan Moore, and First Impression, who ran well in a hot handicap hurdle last time, are among the main dangers.
