Madrinho^p¹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 9-9| J: C Lee| T: A W Carroll| OR: 60| CD

10/3

Ungenuine type. C&D winner. 33/1, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 16 days ago, faring best of those held up. Possibilities if building on that.

Form: 28057-4

(2)

Dark Shot^p¹¹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-8| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 59

22/1

Successful in a much higher grade at Southwell in October and shaped better than the bare result when fifth of 12 at that venue (6.1f) 11 days ago, left poorly placed. Cheekpieces back on. Respected.

Form: 71900-5

(7)

Split Elevens^b¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Darragh Keenan| T: J Butler| OR: 59| C| D

6/1

Unreliable sort. Course winner. Three wins from 12 runs last year. Bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 11/2) 17 days ago, left poorly placed after a very slow start.

Form: 10834-5

(4)

Eye Of The Water^p²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: K Stott| T: R Harris| OR: 59| C| D

2/1

Course winner. Thirty five runs since last win in 2019 but posted good second of 12 in handicap (4/1) at this C&D 22 days ago. Ought to be on the premises again.

Form: 634432-

14/1

Peachey Carnehan^v¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: Phil Dennis| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 56| CD

13/2

3-time C&D winner who again ran creditably when second of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 12/1) 11 days ago. Likely to go well again.

Form: 26613-2

11/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2022 and below form all 3 starts for current yard. Plenty to prove.

Desert Dream^t¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-1| J: D Swift| T: S Spencer| OR: 52| CD

11/1

C&D winner who was below form here 12 days ago. Can make presence felt if bouncing back.

Form: 33023-6

(6)

The King's Steed^p,t³

Age: 10| Weight: 8-9| J: Josephine Gordon| T: S Lycett| OR: 45| CD

18/1

C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2021, though fared a bit better than of late in a change of headgear when seventh of 10 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 3 days ago.

Form: 004-707

Forecasts

Eye Of The Water (2/1), Madrinho (10/3), Split Elevens (6/1), Peachey Carnehan (13/2), Desert Dream (11/1), Daphne May (11/1), Poet (14/1), The King's Steed (18/1), Dark Shot (22/1)

PEACHY CARNEHAN is going through a good spell at the moment so he just about appeals as the most solid option. Eye of The Water is proving hard to win with but seems sure to be bang there again, while Dark Shot was a winner in a much higher grade at Southwell not too long ago and is another to consider.
