Proved at least as good as ever when recording a fourth C&D success in 11-runner handicap (7/1) 15 days ago, overcoming trouble in-running. Major player at this venue.

C&D winner. Back on all-weather after 9 weeks off, ran well when second of 12 in handicap (8/1) at Southwell (11.1f) 13 days ago, denied on the post. Can make his presence felt.

Step back in the right direction when 1½ lengths fourth of 11 to the reopposing Star of Epsom in handicap (9/2) at this C&D (AW) 15 days ago, never nearer. Could be thereabouts having eased further in the weights.

Remains a maiden but offered a little promise when 3 lengths seventh of 11 to Star of Epsom in handicap at this C&D (AW, 80/1) 15 days ago, staying on last ½f. Needs to find more.

Failed to build on the promise of her previous run when eighth of 10 in handicap (17/2) at Chelmsford City (10f) 40 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Followed a good run with a below-par one when seventh of 10 in handicap at this course (1m, AW, 20/1) a week ago. Has something to find upped in trip.

Has made the frame on his last 5 starts, though promised more than he delivered when fourth of 10 in handicap (7/2) at Chelmsford City (10f) 40 days ago. Capable of getting involved.

Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Below form seventh of 10 in minor event at Chelmsford City (1m, 18/1) when last seen in August. Bounce back called for returned to this longer distance after a break.

Under a more patient ride, failed to repeat his previous effort when eighth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 6/1) 13 days ago. However, he remains lightly raced so he could still have more to offer upped in trip.

Making her second start in 2 days, always behind when eighth of 11 in handicap (22/1) at this course (1m, AW) 54 days ago. Looks to be up against it having another go at this longer trip.

Forecasts

The Conqueror (2/1), Sunset In Paris (3/1), Star Of Epsom (9/2), Uther Pendragon (13/2), Warrior Square (11/1), Star For A Day (16/1), Ceilidh King (22/1), Dillydingdillydong (25/1), Forever Proud (28/1), Hanoverian King (33/1), Rainbow Sign (40/1), Tiz Likely (100/1)

Verdict

STAR OF EPSOM did well under the circumstances when winning here 15 days ago, leading close home having been denied a run over 1f out, so she can go on to land a fifth C&D success. The Conqueror wasn't beaten far when fourth behind the selection then and could be the main danger, with Uther Pendragon completing the shortlist.
