9/2
Thirteen runs since last win in 2020 but posted another creditable effort when third (Applaus 2nd) in 9-runner handicap here (20.1f, good) 11 days ago, though did have the run of the race. Needs a bit more if he's to regain the winning thread.

17/2
Untrustworthy veteran but has run well here (20.1f) on his last 2 starts. Back down in trip and shouldn't be far away if continuing his good spell.

11/4
Dual C&D winner who progressed again to land a pretty big pot at Kelso in March and proved himself still in good form when second here (20.1f, good to soft) 3 weeks ago. Likely to go well again back down in trip.

11/10
Dual bumper winner who opened her account as a hurdler in 13-runner maiden over C&D in March, seeming to relish the switch to front-running tactics. Has found only one too good back here both starts since and seems sure to give another good account.

18/1
Showed fair form standout effort over hurdles for Ben Haslam in late 2021. Modest on the Flat, successful in March for current connections. Not dismissed back in this sphere.

Forecasts

Miss Lamb (11/10), Les's Legacy (11/4), Captain Zebo (9/2), Applaus (17/2), We Still Believe (18/1)

Verdict

LES'S LEGACY showed he's still improving when runner-up here 11 days ago and, with this return to shorter holding no fears given his strong-travelling style, Susan Corbett's 6-y-o is taken to record a third win over C&D. Miss Lamb seemed beaten on merit under a penalty last time but can give another good account back in handicap company.
