10/1

C&D winner. Run best excused when eleventh of 12 in handicap (14/1) at Newcastle (1m) 24 days ago, no room from 2f out. Had been in good form previously, so he's one to note back down in grade.

11/2

Three wins this year, including over C&D. First outing since leaving Sean Curran when fifth of 12 in handicap (40/1) at Chelmsford City (6f) 28 days ago, short of room final 1f. Could fare better with his recent run behind him

Forecasts

Johnny James (5/2), Follow Your Heart (7/2), Letmelivemylife (11/2), Love De Vega (6/1), Revolutionise (17/2), Titan Rock (10/1), Leap Abroad (10/1), Visibility (10/1), Bass Player (25/1), Walking On Clouds (28/1)

FOLLOW YOUR HEART did well in the circumstances when third at Kempton on his latest outing, faring best of those held up, so he could be ready to return to winning ways back at this C&D. Johnny James remains lightly raced and is respected on his second start back following a break, with Titan Rock completing the shortlist.
