6/1
C&D winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. Fifth of 7 in handicap at this course (7f, 17/2) 28 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Is likely to be better for the outing and can't be ruled out back down in trip.

9/1
Brought up a 4-timer at Wolverhampton last month. Was too free upped in trip at Chelmsford (7f) last time and is better judged on previous form as a result.

12/1
C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in October. 18/1, looked rusty after 12 weeks off when seventh of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 23 days ago, merely closing up late. Will benefit from this return to 6f.

Forecasts

Grenham Bay (4/1), Airshow (4/1), Conquistador (11/2), Beyond Equal (6/1), Hiatus (7/1), Beauzon (9/1), Dakota Power (11/1), Lilkian (12/1), Eight Mile (18/1), Some Nightmare (25/1)

Verdict

GRENHAM BAY returned to form when runner-up to a subsequent winner at Southwell 16 days ago and is the percentage call to go one better from the same mark. Beauzon is better judged on his previous form having pulled too hard over a longer trip at Chelmsford last time, while Beyond Equal and Lilkian are others to consider.

  1. Grenham Bay4/1
  2. Beauzon9/1
  3. Beyond Equal6/1
