Noble Peace^t³⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: S Pearce| OR: 69| CD

22/1

4-time C&D winner who wasn't seen to best effect when eighth of 12 in handicap at this course (12f, AW) 39 days ago, not ideally placed. Eased 2 lb and not without hope.

Form: 90-3538

Can't Stop Now^h¹⁸⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Hayley Turner| T: C Gordon| OR: 68

80/1

22/1, last of 6 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (15.9f, good). Off 6 months. Poor on last Flat outing. Plenty to prove.

12/1

C&D winner who shaped as if better for the run after 6 months off when fifth in 6-runner handicap at Kempton (11f, 11/1) 12 days ago.

Form: 68474-5

Meadram¹⁸⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Dane O'Neill| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 66

5/2

Two wins at Wolverhampton last year and found only one too good in his hat-trick bid at Bath (10.2f, good to soft) on final outing. May have more to offer and much respected on return.

Hackbridge^v²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: R Havlin| T: P Phelan| OR: 64| CD

9/2

Latest win here in February and would have been firmly in the mix again with a clearer run when fourth of 11 to Smart Connection in handicap at this C&D (AW) 21 days ago. Shortlist material.

Form: 223-814

Smart Connection^p²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 64| CD

9/4

Resumed winning ways in 11-runner handicap at this C&D (AW) 21 days ago, by short head from Doonbeg Farmer. Should remain competitive up 3 lb.

Form: 211-241

Doonbeg Farmer²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: D C Costello| T: H J Evans| OR: 59| CD

9/1

C&D winner in March who nearly added to his tally when short-head second of 11 to Smart Connection in handicap at this C&D (AW, 9/1) 21 days ago, suited by way race developed.

Form: 47-9152

Compass Point^p³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-3| J: L Morris| T: R Brisland| OR: 51| CD

50/1

C&D winner who ran poorly at Kempton (11f, 16/1) 39 days ago. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 367-489

Forecasts

Smart Connection (9/4), Meadram (5/2), Hackbridge (9/2), Wow William (13/2), Doonbeg Farmer (9/1), Swallowdale (12/1), Noble Peace (22/1), Compass Point (50/1), Can't Stop Now (80/1)

The vote goes to HACKBRIDGE, who looked unlucky not to finish closer in the race won by Smart Connection over C&D 3 weeks ago. Smart Connection and Meadram, who was progressing when last seen in the autumn, head up the opposition.
