(1)

The Cutest^h³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Ben Ffrench-Davis⁽⁵⁾| T: D Shaw| OR: 55

80/1

Showed early promise but has struggled recently, coming last of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (250/1) 34 days ago, racing freely before weakening. Needs significant improvement.

Form: 53/4-607

(5)

I Can Imagine⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: H Crouch| T: Jack Jones| OR: 54

13/2

Long-standing maiden who seems to be finding form at shorter trips. Ran creditably when second of 11 in handicap at this C&D (9/1) 9 days ago, making headway under pressure and keeping on. Should give her running again.

Form: 554042

Global Effort^v⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Grace McEntee| T: P S McEntee| OR: 54| CD

40/1

Poor recent form continued when last of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton over 6f (18/1) 6 days ago, racing too freely and weakening early. Need to bounce back with visor refitted but return to 5f may help.

Form: 117760

Street Life^v⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Ethan Tindall⁽⁷⁾| T: P Morris| OR: 53| CD

5/1

Arrives with two consecutive thirds at this course and distance, most recently when third of 11 in handicap here (9/2) 9 days ago, beaten by 1 length. Looks capable of continuing recent solid form at this track.

Form: 549333

Juno Star⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: K Stott| T: P J McBride| OR: 52| D

5/1

Won at Southwell (11/1) 39 days ago, then ran respectably when fifth of 11 in a handicap at this C&D (9/2) 9 days ago. Consistent type should remain competitive.

Form: 452145

(10)

Sir Benedict^p²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: S Donohoe| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 52| D

20/1

Inconsistent performer with one recent win, finishing fifth of 12 in handicap at Musselburgh (8/1) 26 days ago after tardy start, never threatening despite plugging on. Remains to be seen if he's on a going day returned to all-weather.

Form: 401625

(11)

Forest Gunner⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: P Cosgrave| T: P D Evans| OR: 51| D

5/1

Left behind recent form in a 5f handicap at Southwell (16/1) 55 days ago, settling better on second start for current yard with a more experienced jockey. Could be well-bought at 1,200 gns and no surprise to see him in the mix again.

Form: 577601

My Genghis⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 51| CD

12/1

Course winner who finished eighth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (18/1) 9 days ago without headgear. Has previous course success but needs to recapture that form to have a chance.

Form: 5-62V08

(6)

Colors Of Freedom³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: Joe Ponting| OR: 48| CD

4/1

7 wins at this track (3 over course/distance) and finished 3rd of 9 in handicap here 35 days ago (11/2), edged right from stalls and lost 2nd place in final 50 yards, maintaining run of good form. Leading contender.

Form: 933363

(4)

Lady Bouquet³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁵⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 48| CD

11/2

Four-time winner who finished third of 11 in a handicap at Wolverhampton (10/1) 34 days ago, running respectably on return to all-weather. Worth noting all four career wins have been over this minimum trip.

Form: 427003

(7)

A Lady Forever^p1¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Rowan Scott| T: W G Harrison| OR: 47

11/1

Three placed finishes in last four, including second of 14 in 6f handicap at Newcastle (14/1) 13 days ago. Consistent sort merits respect in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 437322

Forecasts

Colors Of Freedom (4/1), Street Life (5/1), Juno Star (5/1), Forest Gunner (5/1), Lady Bouquet (11/2), I Can Imagine (13/2), A Lady Forever (11/1), My Genghis (12/1), Sir Benedict (20/1), Global Effort (40/1), The Cutest (80/1)

COLORS OF FREEDOM has 7 career wins to her name (3 at this C&D) and again ran creditably when third here 35 days ago. She's preferred to Forest Gunner, who bounced back to win at Southwell 55 days ago on his second start for current connections and is looking potentially well-bought at 1,200 gns. I Can Imagine ran well when second over C&D 9 days ago, while Lady Bouquet is another to consider back over 5f.
