5/4
Low-mileage 6-y-o who enhanced fine strike rate for this yard with a career-best display to score on return from 7 months off at Kempton (11f) in January by 2¼ lengths from Capital Theory. 6 lb higher now but serious claims again.

13/2
C&D winner. 9/4, proved as good as ever when winning 6-runner minor event at Newcastle (1m) 48 days ago, forging clear. Step back up in trip will hold no fears but the handicapper has had his say.

Dual C&D winner who wasn't at his best when fourth in 9-runner Kempton handicap (1m) 4 weeks ago, unable to sustain effort. Could revive returned to this venue/back up in trip.

16/1
3-time C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Eleventh of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 20/1) 17 days ago, folding tamely around 1f out. Others more persuasive despite an easing mark.

5/2
C&D winner who rattled off quick-fire hat-trick at Wolverhampton (9.5f) over Christmas. Filled runner-up spot all 3 starts since, latterly over 12f at Southwell 4 weeks ago, and he's worth considering despite operating from career-high mark.

Forecasts

Pride Of America (5/4), Capital Theory (5/2), Greatgadian (11/2), Chichester (13/2), Power Of States (16/1)

Verdict

PRIDE OF AMERICA impressed when posting a smart front-running display on the back of an absence/wind op at Kempton (11f) 33 days ago and a 6 lb rise for that win may not be enough to prevent him following up with the drop back in trip holding no fears. Capital Theory, who was runner-up to the selection that day and has continued in form since, may well emerge as the chief danger.
