7/2
5-y-o mare who won a 10-runner handicap at Southwell (5f) the last time she contested this grade. Never better than midfield when seventh of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good) 25 days ago. Better expected down in class with cheekpieces back on.

Latest effort when 12/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 16 days ago. Struggling for form at present. Others preferred.

Cheekpieces back on when creditable second of 8 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm, 7/1) 14 days ago, no match for winner. Should give another good account.

Not the strongest form when runner up on penultimate start. Not disgraced when eighth of 13 in handicap (9/1) at this course (7f, good) 25 days ago. Needs more down in trip.

9/4
Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Leicester (8/1) 21 days ago, suited by the well-run race back at 6f. Chance this could also be run to suit. One to consider.

12/1
Back from 6 months off when creditable third of 9 in handicap (25/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) and is probably best forgiven his latest effort (last of 11 at Doncaster) when finding trouble in running. Now 1 lb below last winning mark but his overall strike rate tempers enthusiasm.

Latest win at Newcastle in March. Below form back on turf when ninth of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (5f, good, 13/2) 33 days ago, slowly away. Needs to bounce back on return to 6f.

Eighteen runs since last win in 2022 and fared no better when 20/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Leicester (6f, firm) 7 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.

18/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Out of sorts at present and is difficult to fancy.

Unreliable sort. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Forgiven latest effort when 40/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at this course (7f, good) 25 days ago having been badly hampered. Others make more appeal.

C&D winner ended last year on a low and fared no better in a change of headgear after 7 months off when last of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 28/1) 15 days ago, slowly away. Bit to prove.

Course winner. Twenty six runs since last win in 2023. Turned in best effort of the season when fourth of 10 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm, 22/1) 16 days ago, keeping on. Return to 6f holds no fears and isn't discounted from 1 lb out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Waistcoat (9/4), Captain Vallo (10/3), Happier (7/2), Calafrio (6/1), Kodi Red (10/1), Gis A Sub (12/1), Miss Rainbow (12/1), So Grateful (14/1), Juryman (16/1), Ribble Radiant (18/1), Heroism (18/1), Hurstwood (22/1), John Kirkup (22/1), Better (40/1), Flavius Titus (40/1)

Verdict

HAPPIER has been given a chance by the handicapper and may exploit this drop in grade with cheekpieces refitted. C&D winner Calafrio travelled strongly when third at Nottingham last month and should be in the mix again, as should last-time-out winner Waistcoat.
