Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Cieren Fallon| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 60

10/1

Arrives out of form and now 12 runs since last win, finished ninth of 12 in handicap at Chester (66/1) 10 days ago making little impression. Drops in grade but hard to be confident.

Form: 886549

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Hollie Doyle| T: K Frost| OR: 57| CD

16/5

Last win came over C&D at this venue 98 days ago, first win away from Southwell. Ran well when 4th of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford (10/3) 23 days ago, keeping on until last ½f. Cheekpieces replace visor now and return to C&D where successful should suit. Solid claims.

9/2

Maiden finished second of 13 in AW handicap at Lingfield (15/2) over 15.8f 32 days ago and still in form when fifth of 8 in AW handicap at Chelmsford (11/2) 23 days ago. Should appreciate return to longer trip and looks capable of winning a race of this nature.

Barafundle Bay³⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Jack Doughty| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 56

9/2

Only win came on turf at Windsor last June. Lost her way afterwards, last seen finishing last of 8 in handicap at Windsor (14/1) 343 days ago when heavy going appeared problematic. Faces significant step up in trip today on first run for new trainer and market should guide expectations.

Indigo Times²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: William Cox| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 55| D

40/1

Had another long absence prior to this season. Showed some ability remains on penultimate start but finished last of 11 in handicap at Ffos Las (50/1) 25 days ago after poor start. Cheekpieces removed and others looks more reliable.

Form: 05-6450

Baileys Warrior^h⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: K Stott| T: T Faulkner| OR: 54| CD

18/1

Winner of this race off 2 lb lower last year and ran a good second at C&D in October 2024. Unsuited by the run of the race here over 14f (25/1) 6 days ago, slowly into stride and never dangerous. Better expected on return to this C&D with Kevin Stott taking over the in the saddle.

Form: 5126-40

Record Art³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Rob Hornby| T: F O'Brien| OR: 52| D

7/1

Won twice from 3 hurdle starts since rejoining stable. Easy to back and went off too hard when sixth of 7 (14/1) returning to Flat at Yarmouth (11.5f) 38 days ago. Interesting to see what the market makes of him now stepped up markedly in trip.

Form: 0907/6

Sneaky Blinder^p⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: L Morris| T: R Stephens| OR: 49

9/2

Multiple third-place finishes before finishing fourth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton over 14f (6/1) 6 days ago. Has form over 2m and should give his running again.

Courageous Gold¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Simcock| OR: 47

12/1

Best effort in handicaps when fourth of 9 over 14f at this course (25/1) on handicap debut in March but yet to progress from that, last of 8 in handicap at Bath (16/1) 19 days ago making turf debut after a break. Return to all-weather could see him more competitive.

33/1

Showed nothing when eighth of 10 on handicap debut at Lingfield (9/1) over 12f 19 days ago. Now tries much longer trip and will need to improve.

Forecasts

Young Endless (16/5), Sneaky Blinder (9/2), Inlet (9/2), Barafundle Bay (9/2), Record Art (7/1), Hedonista (10/1), Courageous Gold (12/1), Baileys Warrior (18/1), Reload (33/1), Indigo Times (40/1)

BAILEYS WARRIOR often goes well over this C&D and may be able to follow up his victory in this race last year. Inlet has shaped as though she's up to winning a race of this nature and is feared most, while C&D winner Young Endless has solid claims and could be well-positioned if this is a steadily run affair.
