Capuchinero^t²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Darragh Keenan| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 64

33/1

Latest win at Brighton in July and has remained in decent heart back on all-weather, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 18/1) 25 days ago. Can give her running as she goes up in trip.

Covert Legend^p,t¹⁰⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: T Eaves| T: T Collier| OR: 64| CD

28/1

Off the mark at this course (8.6f) in April last year. In first-time blinkers, needed stronger gallop when sixth of 12 in handicap (8/1) at Southwell (8.1f) when last seen in September. Cheekpieces back on.

Cerulean Summer³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Morgan Cole⁽⁵⁾| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 64| CD

11/1

Won twice over C&D last year, with latest success in November. Soon bounced back from a lesser effort when third of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 18/1) last time, so she could be involved returned to this venue.

Overlooked¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: S M Levey| T: H Bethell| OR: 64

6/1

Remains a maiden but has made the frame twice in 4 starts for current yard, fourth of 12 in handicap (10/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 16 days ago. Has eased further in the weights, though more needed to take advantage back up in trip.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 63| CD

15/2

Won three times early last year, including twice at this course (both at 8.6f). Below form upped further in trip when eighth of 10 in handicap (22/1) at Southwell (12.1f) 25 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Molly Valentine^p¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: David Probert| T: D K Ivory| OR: 59| CD

10/1

Took advantage of reduced mark when recording a first success of 2024 in 11-runner handicap (15/2) at this C&D 2 weeks ago, proving herself at the trip. Remains well treated on old form so she could be in the mix again.

Have You A Minute²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: C Lee| T: T P Tate| OR: 57| CD

4/1

C&D winner who doubled his tally at Southwell in August. Shaped well when runner-up at this C&D in November, before unsuited by steady pace when ninth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 5/1) 25 days ago. One to note.

Forecasts

Masqool (7/2), Have You A Minute (4/1), Crafter (4/1), Overlooked (6/1), Tasmanian Legend (15/2), Green Power (9/1), Molly Valentine (10/1), Cerulean Summer (11/1), Prince Ali (16/1), Covert Legend (28/1), Capuchinero (33/1), The Pug (50/1)

CRAFTER continued in good heart when runner-up at Lingfield on his latest outing, despite having been held up in a slowly-run race, so he is taken to gain a third C&D victory. He is preferred to Molly Valentine, who returned to winning ways at this course a fortnight ago, while Have You A Minute had excuses last time and could bounce back.
