11/4

C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Ninth of 11 in handicap (22/1) at Bath (13f, good to firm) 16 days ago, left poorly placed. Back down in trip. Dropped to a handy mark eased in class. Big shout.

15/8

Improved on recent efforts to finally shed maiden status in 6-runner handicap (15/2) at this C&D (good) 13 days ago, despite being slowly away. Up 4 lb but this is another handicap lacking depth.

Irezumi (15/8), Asense (9/4), Gallimimus (11/4), Red Evelyn (8/1), Long Call (12/1)

GALLIMIMUS won a C&D handicap last summer and with his latest Bath run easy to excuse, he's fancied to cash in on a handy mark down in class. Irezumi finally got it right over C&D a fortnight ago and is second choice.
