14/1
Course winner. Returned to form when second of 6 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good, 7/2) 3 weeks ago, doing too much too soon. Had a breathing operation since and he's not taken lightly.

3/1
3-time C&D winner, latest in April. Sixth of 7 in handicap (4/1) at this C&D (AW) 9 days ago, carrying head awkwardly straight. Should fare better back down in grade.

7/2
6-time C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 12/1, struggled to get involved from the widest draw when eighth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 17 days ago, merely closing up late. Shortlist material with the booking of Buick catching the eye.

11/1
5-time course winner. 3 wins from 8 runs this year. 11/1, again ran well when third of 13 in handicap at this course (7f, AW) 17 days ago. Has been very reliable this year and should give another good account.

15/8
C&D winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year, latest here in March. 7/1, below form seventh of 14 in handicap at Leicester (6f, heavy) 2 weeks ago. Better anticipated back on AW and booking of Murphy is certainly a positive.

20/1
C&D winner in March. 12/1, ran one of better races when second of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, heavy) 4 weeks ago. Others more persuasive for win purposes.

10/1
C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2019. 66/1, better than result after 13 months off when fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 17 days ago, trapped wide throughout. Could well build on that effort.

Forecasts

Navy Drums (15/8), Bobby On The Beat (3/1), Swiss Pride (7/2), Knockout Blow (10/1), Inaam (11/1), The Defiant (14/1), Suzi's Connoisseur (20/1), Bethersden Boy (28/1)

Verdict

Plenty in with a squeak but 6-time C&D winner SWISS PRIDE is selected to add another victory to his tally back down in grade with the booking of William Buick catching the eye. The Defiant has had a breathing operation since his runner-up effort at Brighton 3 weeks ago so Daniel Steele's charge may emerge as the main danger, ahead of Navy Drums and the consistent Inaam.

  1. Swiss Pride7/2
  2. The Defiant14/1
  3. Navy Drums15/8
