10/11

Benefited from going up in trip on final 2 starts last year, making it back-to-back wins with a comfortable success in 6-runner handicap at this C&D (8/11) in October. Major player with more still to offer on his return.

Con Te Partiro^p,t¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: George Wood| T: R Spencer| OR: 71

17/2

Five wins from 10 runs last year. In first-time tongue strap, third of 8 in handicap at this course (11.1f, 7/1) 15 days ago, very much having run of race. More needed as he goes up in trip.

Sun Dancer Girl³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: A M Balding| OR: 71| CD

10/1

Four wins from 13 runs last year, including over C&D. Having had excuses on penultimate start, ran creditably when fourth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (16f, 8/1) 34 days ago. Can give her running again.

Form: 634-264

Ribba Hill³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Harrison Shaw| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 69

11/1

Winner at Newcastle (12.4f) on debut last year and, making only his second handicap start, ran well when fourth of 10 at the same C&D (17/2) 32 days ago. Task is now to build on his latest effort over this longer trip.

Form: 144-74

Star Legend^v⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Mason Paetel⁽⁷⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 62

4/1

Hurdles winner but remains a maiden on the Flat. However, only narrowly denied on his last 2 starts, finishing well when second of 10 in handicap (7/1) at this C&D 8 days ago. Could be thereabouts once more.

Form: 48-5322

Forecasts

Caballo De Mar (10/11), Star Legend (4/1), Swinging London (7/1), Con Te Partiro (17/2), Sun Dancer Girl (10/1), Ribba Hill (11/1)

CABALLO DE MAR showed improved form upped in trip at the end of last season, powering clear from 2f out when scoring at this C&D in October, and he can pick up where he left off to land the hat-trick. Star Legend arrives in good form having gone close here last time and could be the main danger, with dual C&D winner Swinging London also considered.
