22/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 18/1, sixth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 28 days ago, left poorly placed. Not handicapped out of things but may find a few too upwardly mobile.

Benavente¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Shane Gray| T: Kevin Coleman| OR: 85| D

10/3

Latest win at Southwell in February. 5/1, good 1½ lengths third of 12 to Cephalus in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 15 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Improving all the time recently.

Form: 122-413

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Marco Ghiani| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 82| CD

14/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in November. 22/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 15 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Revolutionise^t¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: R Kingscote| T: S C Williams| OR: 82| CD

18/1

Riot^p,t¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Mark Winn⁽³⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 81| CD

25/1

Three-time C&D winner. Four wins from 17 runs last year. Respectable fourth of 14 in handicap (20/1) at this course (8f) 15 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Dropped to a handy mark but widest draw is a major concern.

11/1

Mobashr^h¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 80| D

16/1

Latest win at Doncaster (7f) in July. Probably needed run when 3¼ lengths sixth of 8 to Chola Empire in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 17/2) 18 days ago, left poorly placed. Capable of getting involved from this kind of mark if sharper here.

Good Karma (11/4), Benavente (10/3), One More Dream (7/1), Tropez Power (8/1), Cephalus (17/2), Chola Empire (10/1), Billy Mill (11/1), Darkness (12/1), Sir Oliver (14/1), Mobashr (16/1), Revolutionise (18/1), Signcastle City (20/1), Carolus Magnus (20/1), Documenting (22/1), Riot (25/1), Princess Shabnam (33/1)

BENAVENTE finished behind Cephalus at Lingfield last month but was caught futher back than the winner and, with a beneficial draw in Stall 2, is taken to turn to the tables and end the winning streak of Gary Moore's gelding. Cephalus has to be respected given the roll he arrives on, whilst Darkness went close on his return last year and looks on a handy mark.
