6/1
Twelve runs since last win in 2022 but again ran well when neck second of 10 to Destinado in handicap at this course (9.5f, 4/1) 8 days ago. Could be thereabouts once more as he has only his second try at this trip.

Course winner. Making her turf debut, left with lot to do when seventh of 13 in handicap at Bath (13f, soft, 25/1) in October. Could fare better back on all-weather as she makes first run for yard after leaving Samuel Drinkwater.

Made a promising return from 5 months off when fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (8.6f, 11/2) 60 days ago, never nearer. Task is now to build on his latest effort as he goes significantly up in trip.

Three-time C&D winner. Run best excused when eighth of 12 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D 26 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Not discounted at this venue having dropped to 3 lb below her last winning mark.

With cheekpieces reapplied on first run since leaving Tony Carroll, returned to form when winning 10-runner handicap (13/2) at this course (9.5f) 8 days ago by neck from Come To Pass. Leading contender back up in trip.

Not in the same form as previous outing when seventh of 12 in handicap (18/1) at Chelmsford City (14f) when last seen in August. Cheekpieces reapplied as he makes first run for yard after leaving Ewan Whillans.

Failed to come on for recent run when eighth of 10 in minor event (100/1) at Southwell (12.1f) a week ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

Remains a maiden after 28 Flat runs. Not discredited when fifth of 12 in handicap (25/1) at this course (9.5f) 26 days ago. Looks to be vulnerable once again returned to this longer distance.

Again looked a tricky ride when seventh of 12 in handicap (10/1) at this course (7.2f) 56 days ago, late headway having been slowly away. Has something to find as he goes up in trip.

With his recent run behind him, produced his best effort to date when fourth of 10 in handicap (17/2) at Kempton (11f) 7 days ago, nearest finish having had to pick way through. Enters calculations.

Forecasts

Urban Champion (11/4), Optik (10/3), Destinado (4/1), Gentle Fire (11/2), Come To Pass (6/1), Naadyaa (22/1), Jenny Ren (25/1), Buford (28/1), The Grey Bandit (33/1), Princess Nieve (150/1)

Verdict

On his first start for James Owen, DESTINADO got back to winning ways at this course 8 days ago and he can follow up returned to this longer distance. He is taken to confirm the placings with Come To Pass from when the pair met last time, while Optik took a step forward at Kempton on his latest outing and is another to consider.
