Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A W Carroll| OR: 47| CD

Quirky sort. C&D winner. 8/1, bit below form fifth of 12 in classified event at Southwell (1m) 18 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Michael Appleby. Tongue strap back on.

Form: 8-08335

Coconut Bay²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Rowan Scott| T: T Davidson| OR: 49| CD

4/1

Didn't need to improve to win 10-runner C&D classified event (9/2) 21 days ago. Ought to be very competitive again.

Form: 0-37541

Heavenly Fire^h³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Joey Haynes| T: S Dixon| OR: 50| CD

15/2

C&D winner in January. Last of 8 in C&D handicap at this C&D (28/1) 31 days ago. Bounce back needed.

Shades Of May¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: George Bass⁽³⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 49

13/2

Modest form. Only seventh of 11 in classified event at Chelmsford (6f) 17 days ago but claims on his third there (6f again) prior to that. The return to 7f for only a second time could suit. Might prove the answer.

Form: 635-437

So Chic²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Jack Doughty⁽³⁾| T: Stephanie Cassidy| OR: 45| CD

10/1

C&D winner. 9/1, fifth of 8 in classified event at Lingfield (1m) 23 days ago, left poorly placed.

Form: 8968-45

Wrath Of Hector⁴⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 47| CD

12/1

C&D winner. Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap (33/1) at Chelmsford (1m) 40 days ago. Should be thereabouts back at 7f.

Forecasts

Big Narstie (15/8), Coconut Bay (4/1), Shades Of May (13/2), Alyara (15/2), Heavenly Fire (15/2), So Chic (10/1), Balmy Breese (11/1), Wrath Of Hector (12/1), Liege (20/1), Sea The Buckthorn (66/1)

SHADES OF MAY has fewer convictions than the rest of these and shapes as if this return to 7f for only a second time may help. Last month's C&D scorer Coconut Bay is next on the list ahead of Wrath of Hector.
