17/2

C&D winner last summer. Not seen to best effect when seventh on return at this course (8.6f, 15/2) 12 days ago, doing too much too soon. 3 lb lower now and enters calculations.

11/4

Fourth of 7 in handicap at this course (6.1f, 4/1) 41 days ago. Return to this longer trip should suit and can't be ruled out.

2/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 5/2 and visored for 1st time, bit below form fifth of 10 in nursery at this C&D. Off 161 days. Gelded since and worth a second look in market on return.

13/2

Latest win at Southwell in January. 3¼ lengths seventh of 10 to Koji in handicap at this C&D (8/1) 16 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 631387

Koji¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Swift| T: I Furtado| OR: 62| CD

13/2

Found improvement, on debut for new yard, when taking 10-runner handicap over C&D (33/1) 16 days ago. Just 2 lb higher now and another bold bid anticipated.

Form: 26598-1

Forecasts

Cuban Harry (2/1), Amancio (11/4), Forever A Diamond (6/1), Koji (13/2), Lady In Havana (13/2), Persian Phoenix (17/2)

KOJI was suited by the return to this trip when making a winning debut for Ivan Furtado last month and hasn't been harshly treated for that victory. She may be able to follow up. Persian Phoenix and Cuban Harry rate the principal dangers.
