C&D winner but it's a long time since his last success. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 4/1) 12 days ago. Back up in trip with cheekpieces on 1st time, but others more persuasive for win purposes.
|
Produced his best effort when winning at Redcar in September. Left behind a lesser effort when neck second of 9 to the reopposing Mighty Power in handicap (3/1) at this C&D 19 days ago. Major player.
|
Successful here (7f) in December and has remained in good heart since, third of 10 in handicap (15/2) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 16 days ago. Could be thereabouts once more.
|
Has proved better than ever of late with the cheekpieces reapplied, making it back-to-back wins when landing 6-runner handicap (3/1) at Chelmsford City (5f) 22 days ago. Not taken lightly in her current form.
|
Winner at Deauville last summer for A. Fabre. In first-time cheekpieces, failed to come on for his stable debut when seventh of 11 in handicap (16/1) at Kempton (7f) 32 days ago. Needs to find more with tongue strap also applied.
|
Four wins (including twice at this course) from 18 runs last year. Below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 14/1) 15 days ago. However, he's not discounted as he goes back down in grade/trip with visor reapplied.
|
Having dropped back to his last winning mark, fared best of those from the rear when fourth of 12 in handicap (9/2) at Chelmsford City (6f) 2 weeks ago. Needs everything to fall right.
|
Course winner who doubled his tally at Nottingham in June. Not discredited when fifth of 10 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, heavy, 3/1) the following month. Could still have more to offer making only his second all-weather start.
|
After 4 months off, gained a third C&D victory when staying on to lead late in 9-runner handicap (14/1) at this C&D 19 days ago by neck from Secret Guest. Respected at this venue.
|
Shaped well on first run since leaving Tim Easterby when fourth of 10 in handicap (11/2) at this C&D on his all-weather debut 86 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Interesting contender.
|
Latest win over C&D in September. Below-par effort when fifth of 6 in handicap (17/2) also at this C&D 8 days ago. Has dropped below his last winning mark as a result, though, with blinkers now the choice of headgear.
|
Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Again below form when seventh of 11 in handicap at Chester (7f, soft, 12/1) in September. Makes tapeta debut on first run for yard after leaving Kevin Ryan (has had a wind op).

Forecasts
Secret Guest (5/2), The Turpinator (4/1), Mighty Power (6/1), Gulliver (8/1), Winter Crown (9/1), Starshiba (11/1), Mondammej (12/1), Petit Calvados (12/1), Bellagio Man (16/1), Manigordo (25/1), Tremblant (33/1), Gis A Sub (33/1)
SECRET GUEST soon bounced back to form when denied only narrowly at this C&D last time and he can return to winning ways with a strongly-run race to suit. He is taken to reverse the placings with Mighty Power from when the pair met here 19 days ago, while Petit Calvados has thrived since the cheekpieces have gone back on and completes the shortlist.
- Secret Guest5/2
- Mighty Power6/1
- Petit Calvados12/1
