11/2
Course winner. Proved better than ever in a stronger race than he need contest when second of 9 in handicap at this C&D (10/1) 59 days ago, looking the likely winner for much of the final 1f (traded 1.01 in-running). Can make amends here.

5/1, proved to be a disappointment returned to handicap company after 6 months off tenth of 11 at Newcastle (8f) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

Course winner. Looked typically tricky when third of 9 in handicap (25/1) at this C&D 59 days ago. Comes with risks attached so others preferred.

Stepped up on previous runs for this yard when fourth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 25/1) 43 days ago, well placed in a tactical affair. More needed in this.

Capitalised on the drop in grade under a top claimer when winning 4-runner claimer (10/3) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 75 days ago, leading before home turn. This much tougher back in handicap company.

6/1
4-time C&D winner. Latest win at Chelmsford City in January. 9/2, ran creditably despite being unable to lead when third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 22 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Remains of interest.

40/1
Course winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2020. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 12/1) 7 weeks ago, late headway. Continues to fall in the weights without showing any sign of taking advantage.

16/5
4/1, ran up to best when second of 9 in handicap at this C&D 24 days ago, showing a better attitude than was sometimes the case last year and pulling clear of the remainder. Up 3 lb for that near miss but must enter calculations.

9/2
6/1, proved better than ever after 4 months off to land a first success on synthetics in 13-runner handicap at this C&D 31 days ago, staying on to lead final strides. Rarely runs a bad race so merits consideration.

Two wins from 6 runs last year. 6/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, below form when fifth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 7 months ago. Down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Archie Watson (12,000 gns).

5/1
C&D winner. 10/3, twelfth of 16 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to soft) 5 months ago, weakening over 2f out. Gelded since but this a tougher race than he need contest so others are more persuasive.

Forecasts

Million Thanks (16/5), Stately Home (9/2), My Mate Ted (5/1), Naval Commander (11/2), Brains (6/1), Al Marmar (11/1), Bear Force One (16/1), Darwell Lion (25/1), Stockpyle (28/1), Business (33/1), Bruno's Gold (40/1), Cliffs Of Capri (40/1)

Verdict

NAVAL COMMANDER hasn't had a lot of racing for his age and, arriving on the back of a career-best effort when runner-up in a stronger race over C&D a couple of months ago, Robyn Brisland's charge gets the nod to notch career success number 4. Stately Home landed a first success on synthetics over C&D recently, so he's put forward as the main danger, ahead of Million Thanks.
