11/2
C&D winner. Found run of good form coming to a halt when 9/2, sixth of 8 to Dashing Harry in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 20 days ago, having been unable to dominate and forced wide entering the straight. Capable of bouncing back in this company now racing off 7 lb below last winning mark.

5/2
Proved as effective when winning 7-runner handicap without visor at this course (6f) 9 days ago, scoring by ½ length from Monsieur Beaulieu. That form puts him in the mix again here.

3/1
Excused latest effort when 5 lengths sixth of 7 to Rebel Path in handicap (4/1) at this course (6f) 9 days ago. Remains of interest back at 5f with blinkers on 1st time.

33/1
4-time course winner. Three wins from 26 runs last year. 15/8, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 20 days ago but type to bounce back quickly.

Forecasts

Rebel Path (5/2), El Bufalo (3/1), Monsieur Beaulieu (10/3), Bang On The Bell (11/2), Dashing Harry (15/2), Buraback (25/1), Alafdhal (33/1)

Verdict

C&D winner BANG ON THE BELL had some excuses for a below-par showing last time, and he remains of interest racing off 7 lb lower than his last winning mark. El Bufalo could return to form back at 5f in first-time blinkers, while Buraback continues in good heart following a productive January.

  2. El Bufalo3/1
  3. Buraback25/1
