10/3
Five-time C&D winner. Improved on recent efforts to win 13-runner handicap at this C&D (18/1) 25 days ago by ½ length from Educate. 5 lb rise tolerable and should be competitive once more.

85/40
Seventeen runs since last win in 2023. Respectable third of 8 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 16/5) 27 days ago, inadequate test. Back up in tri and he's in with a shout.

11/4
Latest win at Leicester in October. Fourth of 7 in handicap (5/2) at Nottingham (10.2f, soft) 28 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. May find one or two too good.

Latest win at Redcar in October. Tenth of 14 in handicap (14/1) at Southwell (11.1f) 5 days ago, not clear run. Could have a say if he puts his best foot forward.

Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, respectable third of 7 in nursery at this course (8f). Probably best watched back from a 13-month absence.

18/1
20/1, last of 5 in juvenile hurdle at Sedgefield (16.8f, soft) on NH debut 13 days ago. Latest effort in this sphere was respectable, but will need to improve for the fitting of a visor if he's to emerge on top here.

Remains a maiden after 25 Flat runs. Eighth of 9 in handicap at this course (12.4f, 13/2) 2 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Forecasts

Shimmering Sands (85/40), Educate (9/4), Mystical Maria (11/4), Prince Achille (10/3), Woodleigh (5/1), Rampant (16/1), That Lucas Fella (18/1), Rock Armour (18/1), Miss Lalita (66/1)

Verdict

Having finished second on each of his three starts for this yard, EDUCATE is taken to deservedly get his head back in front. The 4-y-o went down narrowly at the hands of Prince Achille over C&D at the beginning of the month and while it should again be close between them, a 2 lb pull helps to tilt the scales in favour of Jim Goldie's charge. Shimmering Sands is best of the rest.
