10/1

40/1, bit below form fifth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 20 days ago. Now 7 lb below last winning mark and he's therefore dangerous to discount.

Form: 707-575

10/1

Winner at Wolverhampton in October. 7/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 83 days ago. Hasn't fired on all cylinders when previously tried on turf, which is a concern.

Form: 215-344

Dee's Dream²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Rob Hornby| T: M Murphy & M Keady| OR: 57| CD

12/1

C&D winner. 40/1, eleventh of 16 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 25 days ago, hampered. One to consider back at this course.

11/1

15/2, ninth of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy) 38 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Entitled to come on for that seasonal reappearance and he went close over this C&D on final start of last season.

Form: 57822-9

Chinthurst¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: P Cosgrave| T: J R Boyle| OR: 56| C

6/4

Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (2/1) at this course (9.9f, good) 10 days ago, having run of race. Clearly likes it here (Brighton record reads 2221) and needs considering up 2 lb with the return to this trip no bad thing.

Form: 8322-51

Lexington Hero^p¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Charles Bishop| T: J Channon| OR: 56

17/2

Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Respectable third of 13 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, good to soft, 12/1) 11 days ago. Merits consideration.

Form: 709-473

(8)

Total Lockdown^h¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Jim Crowley| T: Martin Dunne| OR: 52

11/2

Unreliable individual. One win from 24 Flat runs. Respectable 5½ lengths fourth of 10 to Chinthurst in handicap (9/2) at this course (9.9f, good) 10 days ago, slowly away. Something to find on form.

Form: 8-84944

Cloudy Rose²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Gina Mangan⁽³⁾| T: John Berry| OR: 49| CD

7/1

C&D winner. Three wins from 9 runs last year. Ninth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 80/1) 20 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Now 2 lb below last winning mark and she has to enter calculations.

Form: 79644-9

Forecasts

Chinthurst (6/4), Total Lockdown (11/2), Cloudy Rose (7/1), Lexington Hero (17/2), Red Royalist (10/1), Fast Affair (10/1), Fen Tiger (11/1), Dee's Dream (12/1), Daphne May (12/1)

The vote goes to CLOUDY ROSE, who scored over this C&D on her second run of last season and is taken to repeat the dose this time round with her recent reappearance spin on the all-weather likely to have blown away the cobwebs. Chinthurst rallied well when opening his account over 1¼m here 10 days ago and he is feared with this step back up in trip a good move. Lexington Hero is third choice ahead of Fen Tiger and Red Royalist.
