Five wins from 11 runs this year, completing 4-timer when landing 7-runner handicap at this C&D (13/2) 6 days ago. Carries penalty but can make a bold bid to extend his winning sequence.

It's Showtime^b⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Planas⁽³⁾| T: C Allen| OR: 60

28/1

Sole success at Lingfield in May. After just 6 days off, below form when eighth of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (5f, good to soft, 25/1) 56 days ago. Needs to get back on track returned to this longer distance.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Charles Bishop| T: Ian Williams| OR: 60| D

20/1

Collusion⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Morgan Cole⁽⁵⁾| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 59

22/1

Improved when second at Yarmouth (6f) on handicap debut, but not in same form when sixth of 9 at Nottingham (5f, soft, 7/2) 58 days ago (gelded since). Back up in trip on first run for yard after leaving James Tate.

Shamardia³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Raul Da Silva| T: I Mohammed & J Santos| OR: 59| CD

6/1

Successful at Lingfield and over C&D in September. Raced freely back up in trip when sixth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 22/1) 37 days ago, so she could fare better returned to this shorter distance.

Form: 121076

Southbank^p,t⁸^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jack Doughty⁽³⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 53| CD

10/3

Four wins from 16 runs this year, including at this C&D. Bounced back to best when winning 13-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 7/2) 8 days ago, scoring with a good deal in hand. Respected under a penalty.

Lion Ring¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: Andrew Martin| OR: 57| D

20/1

Made it 4 wins from 5 starts when scoring at Chelmsford City in October. Shaped as if back in form when fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (5.1f, 11/1) 13 days ago, facing competition for the lead. Not ruled out.

Form: 910554

State Of Madness¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Joanna Mason| T: D Shaw| OR: 57

12/1

Remains a maiden but ran well when third of 9 in handicap at this course (5.1f, 11/4) 18 days ago, slowly away and bumped start. On a workable mark if building on latest performance back up in trip.

Form: 504863

Himawari¹²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: G Harris| OR: 57

200/1

Has finished well held both starts since leaving Marco Botti, in first-time cheekpieces when last of 8 in handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, good, 40/1) in August. Has enough to prove to prove after 4 months off.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: S D Bowen⁽³⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 57| CD

6/1

C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023, but returned to form when second of 9 in handicap at Bath (5f, soft, 5/1) 57 days ago. Task is now to build on that effort back up in trip.

Form: 654652

Outer Edge^p⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Gina Mangan| T: C Mason| OR: 57| D

10/1

Winner at Chepstow in August and, after 11 weeks off, left behind a lesser effort when second of 9 in handicap at this C&D (11/2) 46 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Can make his presence felt.

Form: 482162

Forecasts

Havana Sky (15/8), Southbank (10/3), Shamardia (6/1), Apache Star (6/1), Outer Edge (10/1), State Of Madness (12/1), Lion Ring (20/1), El Hibri (20/1), Collusion (22/1), It's Showtime (28/1), Savannah Smiles (50/1), Himawari (200/1)

HAVANA SKY has thrived since the headgear has been removed, making it 4 wins in a row when scoring over C&D last week, and he is taken to add to his tally in his current form. Southbank also carries a penalty and isn't taken lightly after his easy success at Chelmsford 8 days ago, with Outer Edge completing the shortlist.
