7/1

11/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Windsor (10f, heavy) 12 days ago. Has slipped to a dangerous mark and he's not without each-way hope.

3/1

One win from 28 Flat runs. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 16/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 29 days ago. Has gone close 3 times over this C&D already this year and he's a big player.

7/1

22/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time cheekpieces on for 1st time, neck second of 8 to Crazy Spin in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, just failing. Not taken lightly.

Form: 690-002

Captain Pugwash^v¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: Ben Robinson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 50

14/1

18 lengths last of 8 to Crazy Spin in handicap (11/4) at this C&D 14 days ago. Hard to warm to on the back of that, for all that he was just touched off at Lingfield on his penultimate start.

Form: 1/8-7628

9/2

15/2, won 8-runner handicap at this C&D 14 days ago by neck from Hopeforthebest, always holding on. Nudged up just 1 lb and should be on the premises once again.

12/1

7/2

11/1, respectable fifth of 9 in minor event at Newcastle (10.2f) 46 days ago. Still, others make more appeal for win purposes.

Forecasts

Captain St Lucifer (3/1), Graffiti (3/1), Mr Gambino (7/2), Crazy Spin (9/2), Hopeforthebest (7/1), Hot Team (7/1), Cityzen Serg (11/1), Afternoon Tea (12/1), Captain Pugwash (14/1), Agent Of Fortune (22/1)

CAPTAIN ST LUCIFER failed to make an impact at Newcastle but he went close three times over this C&D prior to that and could be the answer to an open-looking handicap. Hopeforthebest returned to form from out of the blue in this headgear combination when just touched off by Crazy Spin here a fortnight ago. He is taken to reverse the placings this time and emerge as the main danger. Graffiti also enters calculations.
