Returned better than ever after 5 months off when runner-up in 16-runner handicap at Chelmsford (14f) last month and confirmed that promise when going one better at Thirsk (12f, heavy) 9 days ago, posting another career best. Carries 5 lb penalty and could take some stopping.

Fair winner at up to 15f on the Flat in France. Mixed bag over hurdles in recent months, possibly finding the race coming too soon when tailed off at Carlisle (19.3f, soft) 6 weeks ago. This just a second Flat start for current connections.

Fairly useful winner in France who continued to fall in the weights for his current yard last season. Looked in need of the run after 7 months off at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy) last month and is now hiked up in trip sporting different headgear.

Nineteen runs since last win in 2022 and has offered precious little in 3 all-weather starts for her new yard this year. Handicapper given her a chance but best watched at present.

Maiden last seen on the Flat running just respectably in first-time visor at Musselburgh in October. Has struggled over hurdles since, but she warrants respect returned to the level.

Forecasts

Clansman (8/13), Cantalupo Bella (9/2), Val Bassett (13/2), Diamand De Vindecy (12/1), Can Can Girl (14/1)

Verdict

CLANSMAN has seemingly returned an improved model this season and, arriving on the back of a demolition job at Thirsk last week, Liam Bailey's 6-y-o is strongly fancied to follow up under a penalty. Cantalupo Bella has been most disappointing over hurdles in recent months, but she can provide most resistance back on the level, with Val Bassett taken to fill third spot.
