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.

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.

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.

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.

Gelded but still proved too free after 5 months off when seventh of 8 in handicap at this course (6f, 7/1) 22 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Best watched.

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.
