5/1
C&D winner. Four wins from 22 runs last year. Respectable third of 7 in handicap (14/1) at Wolverhampton (5f) 14 days ago, left poorly placed. Blinkers back on. Not taken lightly.

3/1
Quickly found his feet for new stable, making all in handicaps over this C&D and at Kempton (5f) this month. Further 3 lb rise may not prevent the hat-trick.

Forecasts

The Defiant (3/1), Lothian (3/1), Storm Melody (5/1), Porfin (7/1), Equally Fast (8/1), Blissful Song (11/1), Hope Springs (14/1), Aish (14/1), Doc Sportello (22/1)

Verdict

THE DEFIANT is on a bit of a roll for the Daniel Steele yard and can complete the hat-trick. Storm Melody shaped as if still in good form last time and is an obvious threat back in a 0-65. Lothian and Porfin are others likely to have a say.

  1. The Defiant3/1
  2. Storm Melody5/1
  3. Lothian3/1
