Course winner. Has returned to form over hurdles in 2 starts this year, fourth of 7 in handicap at Plumpton (15.9f, soft, 7/2) 9 days ago. Interesting contender back on the level.
|
Dual winner over hurdles in 2022/23. Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, not discredited after 5 months off when sixth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 20/1) 23 days ago. Shortlisted.
|
Back on track from out of the blue when third of 7 in handicap (16/1) at this course (12.2f) 12 days ago. Major player dropped further in grade.
|
C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2020. Below form last 2 starts, eighth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 16 days ago. Others more persuasive.
|
Has won 3 times this year, including at this C&D at the start of the month. Possibly found race coming too soon when sixth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW, 9/4) 22 days ago. Can bounce back.
|
C&D winner. Latest win at Chelmsford City in January. 11/2 and blinkered for 1st time, again below form when eighth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 26 days ago. Headgear quickly discarded.
|
Off 8 months (gelded), first run since leaving Richard Hughes when seventh of 10 in handicap (100/1) at Southwell (12.1f) 23 days ago. Up in trip but has enough to prove at present.
|
One win from 24 Flat runs. 25/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, offered little after 7 months off when last of 7 in handicap at this course (16.6f) 17 days ago. Best watched.

Forecasts
Bascinet (9/4), Cedar Cage (7/2), Winklevi (7/2), Social City (13/2), Good Time Ahead (15/2), Leopolds Rock (17/2), Bondi Man (22/1), Fandabidozi (50/1)
Having fallen in the weights this year, CEDAR CAGE got back on track when third here 12 days ago and he can build on that effort to take advantage of a further drop in grade. The biggest threat could be Bascinet, who had been in good form prior to a below-par effort last time, while Leopolds Rock also merits consideration with his recent run behind him.
- Cedar Cage7/2
- Bascinet9/4
