7/2
Still lightly raced and enhanced his excellent record here when registering a third C&D success from 4 starts 27 days ago, holding on gamely. Didn't have much to spare at the line but his attitude is evidently an asset and respected again.

18/1, stepped up on comeback/yard debut run when 1¾ lengths sixth of 12 to Federal Envoy in handicap at this C&D 27 days ago, nearest finish. One to keep an eye on at this sort of level.

15/2
Fallen to a career-low mark and ended a losing run stretching back to his debut when taking 8-runner handicap (7/4) at Kempton (7f) 16 days ago, kept up to work. This rates more demanding back up in class but he ought to remain competitive.

10/1
3-time C&D winner who has been given a chance by the assessor and capitalised to land 5-runner handicap at this C&D (6/4) 21 days ago. This rates tougher on the back of a 6 lb rise, however.

3/1
Tasted success twice over C&D last year and confirmed promise of his Kempton run in January when resuming winning way in authoritative fashion over C&D 21 days ago. 5 lb rise shouldn't prevent him playing a lead role once more.

4-time course winner who ran below form when 5 lengths ninth of 12 to Federal Envoy in handicap at this C&D (5/1) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Others preferred for win purposes.

Made a winning debut when trained by Ed Walker last summer. Not discredited on 2 of his 3 starts for new yard, not beaten far when seventh of 11 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 25/1) 16 days ago. However, others arrive with more pressing claims.

13/2, seventh of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good). Off 9 months. First run for yard after leaving Julie Camacho. Something to find on form.

C&D winner. Five wins from 20 runs last year. 28/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D 27 days ago. Visor back on but hard to warm to at present.

Three wins from 22 runs last year. Latest win here in February. Shaped better than bare result when third of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 7/1) 10 days ago, running on late. Looks sure to give another good account.

12/1
4/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Kempton (8f). Off 6 months. Makes tapeta debut. First run for yard after leaving T. J. Kent and he's one to note in the betting given his low-mileage profile on synthetics.

Resumed winning ways at Chester (7.6f) last June but exploits proved some what mixed thereafter, seventh of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) in October. Possible this first start for 5 months will bring him on.

Forecasts

King Of Ithaca (3/1), Federal Envoy (7/2), Narmar (7/1), Lessay (15/2), How Impressive (8/1), Chola Empire (10/1), Justcallmepete (11/1), King Of Fury (12/1), Mumayaz (14/1), Perennial (20/1), Touchwood (66/1), Milbanke (66/1)

Verdict

Several last-time-out winners in opposition including KING OF ITHACA who looked better than ever when running out an authoritative winner of a C&D handicap 3 weeks ago and a 5 lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold showing. Federal Envoy is building up an excellent C&D record himself and he's feared. Lessay and Chola Empire complete the shortlist.
