10/3
Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 11/2) 17 days ago. Well on top at the finish there so this C&D winner is not taken lightly despite a 3 lb rise.

C&D winner. Stayed on late when a creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 14 months ago. Off since but weighted to go well if fully tuned up for his comeback.

Forecasts

Not Me (2/1), Arcadian Nights (10/3), Raintown (9/2), Epsom Faithfull (13/2), Parkland (8/1), Hitched (17/2), Running The Game (11/1), Warren Hill (16/1), Waterloo Sunset (50/1), Rapid Mission (125/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for most of these but ARCADIAN NIGHTS ran out an emphatic winner at Chelmsford City last time and is taken to defy a 3 lb weight rise. Not Me heads the list of dangers on the back of a good Southwell fourth with the promise of more to come over this longer distance. Raintown, Epsom Faithfull and Waterloo Sunset can all have a say too.
