5/1

Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (6f) 27 days ago, faring best of those held up. More than capable of winning off this mark if things fall right.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Russell⁽³⁾| T: A Brittain| OR: 75| CD

Kratos³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Jefferson Smith| T: R Varian| OR: 75| CD

20/1

C&D novice winner in November 2021 but seen only twice since, including well held on Southwell handicap debut last month. Leading yard perseveres but would need to see market support to consider.

Form: 21/5-6

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 74| BF| D

7/2

Fair form in 3 outings over 6f for the Crisfords' last winter. Been off for over a year/gelded but unexposed and worth keeping an eye on in the betting for his capable new stable.

Form: 14/5-

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Rossa Ryan| T: P A Kirby| OR: 69| BF| CD

6/5

C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2020. Creditable third of 11 in C&D handicap at this C&D 6 days ago. Merits consideration.

33/1

Dual 7f turf winner for Eve Johnson Houghton in first half of 2021. Lost his way a bit later in the campaign but back on a workable mark if a change of scenery has a reviving effect.

Forecasts

Burrows Seeside (6/5), Caribbean Sunset (7/2), Triggered (5/1), Athollblair Boy (15/2), Jungle Speed (8/1), Spartan Fighter (10/1), Kratos (20/1), Marselan (33/1)

TRIGGERED is more than capable of winning off his current mark if things fall right so he gets a narrow vote ahead of the reliable Burrows Seeside. Athollblair Boy has reached the frame a few times over C&D in recent weeks , including under today's rider Sophie Clements, and can also play a part.
