Cinnodin^b¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 75| CD

11/2

Tends to save his best for this track and didn't need to improve to win 6-runner handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, slowly away. More on his plate here.

Form: 624-771

(9)

Grey Fox^t²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: David Probert| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 72| CD

13/2

Again dwelt at the start when landing a 6-runner handicap at this C&D 26 days ago. Tendency to be slowly away makes him a risky betting proposition.

Form: 64062-1

(3)

Tradesman^b³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁷⁾| T: D M Simcock| OR: 72| D

14/1

Unreliable sort. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Refused to race in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f, 17/2) 38 days ago. Blinkers back on but isn't one to put your faith in.

Form: 3-6642R

Moel Arthur^t⁵¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Shepherd| T: B R Johnson| OR: 70| D

9/1

Latest win at Lingfield in January but below form when 14/1, last of 9 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 51 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 357-149

Orchestra^t,p⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: K Shoemark| T: F O'Brien| OR: 70| BF

16/1

Winner over hurdles in November. Back on the Flat with tongue strap added, suited by step up in trip in this sphere when second of 9 in handicap (12/1) over C&D in January and ran to a similar level when fifth here the following month. May have to settle for minor honours again.

Form: 734/7-24

(8)

Believitanducan⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A King| OR: 71| D

11/8

Winner of a 2m Beverley handicap on final turf start for Jessica Macey and is 2-3 over hurdles since joining Alan King. Could well have more to offer back on the Level.

Form: 56/3221-

Legacy Power²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 69| BF| CD

9/2

C&D winner didn't find as much as looked likely when 7¼ lengths fifth of 6 to Grey Fox in handicap (6/5) at this C&D 26 days ago. Looks worth another chance on second start of the season.

Form: 68125-5

(5)

Alex The Great^t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: A W Carroll| OR: 65| CD

22/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Newcastle in March. Again slowly away when creditable second of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 21 days ago, conceding first run. Should give a good account if he can get away on terms.

Form: 413162

(6)

French Martini^h,t¹⁸²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Ashley Lewis⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 60

40/1

Off the mark when landing an 11-runner handicap at Bath (17.1f, heavy) last October, travelled well. Merits consideration on her return.

Form: 003241-

(10)

Blenheim Lad¹⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: K T O'Neill| T: C Poulton| OR: 59| BF

50/1

Latest win at Southwell in October. Unable to land a hat-trick when 11¾ lengths fifth of 8 to Alex The Great in handicap (5/4) at Southwell (14.1f). Respected if ready to roll after 160-day absence.

Form: 605115-

Forecasts

Believitanducan (11/8), Legacy Power (9/2), Cinnodin (11/2), Grey Fox (13/2), Moel Arthur (9/1), Tradesman (14/1), Orchestra (16/1), Alex The Great (22/1), French Martini (40/1), Blenheim Lad (50/1)

LEGACY POWER shaped better than the beaten distance suggests on reappearance last month and is taken to record a second C&D win. French Martini was off the mark on her final run of last season and is respected on comeback while Alex The Great has been consistent in recent months and should give another good account. In fine heart over hurdles, Believitanducan is also an interesting contender on Flat debut for Alan King.
