9/1
Latest win at Lingfield in August. Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 33/1) 46 days ago. 1 lb lower now and he could have a part to play.

12/1
Below form second of 5 in novice at Newcastle (8f, 5/1) 42 days ago. Thoroughly deserves to get her head in front but, at the same time, there is an air of vulnerability about this filly.

9/4
C&D winner in September. 13/8, creditable second of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 20 days ago, running on. Cheekpieces on 1st time and he should be on the premises once more.

Three-time C&D winner but has gone 23 runs since the latest of those wins here back in 2022. Bit below form eighth of 13 in handicap (5/1) at this C&D when last seen in September.

Forecasts

King David (9/4), Bell Shot (10/3), King Of Ithaca (7/2), G'daay (9/1), Arctician (11/1), Groovy Baby (12/1), Port Road (14/1), Soar Above (18/1), Dion Baker (33/1)

Verdict

BELL SHOT has returned to form with cheekpieces refitted the last twice, including when third over this C&D on his penultimate start. Michael Appleby's charge is ready to strike and is marginally preferred to in-form rivals King of Ithaca and King David, while G'Daay is also capable of making an impact if on-song.
