Third C&D success when seeing off 13 rivals 9 days ago, with reopposing Sovereign Banter ¾ length back in second (Bowman fourth). Should give another good account.

Bowman⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: C Byrnes| OR: 56| D

Lismacbryan Hill^b,t²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: J M Sheridan| T: D Hogan| OR: 56| CD

7/1

7/2, career best when winning 14-runner C&D handicap 21 days ago. Well ridden on that occasion and suspicion a 5 lb rise may leave him vulnerable.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jimmy Dalton⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 51| CD

5/1

C&D winner in October. 9/1, very good ¾-length second of 14 to I'm Spartacus in handicap at this C&D 9 days ago. One to consider again.

Rattletheonionbag^p²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Chris Hayes| T: W P Browne| OR: 40

20/1

Remains a maiden after 26 starts but likely needed the run after 5 months off when 7¼ lengths eleventh of 14 to Lismacbryan Hill over C&D 21 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Runner-up over C&D off 7 lb higher under Chris Hayes earlier in the year so well handicapped if building on that latest run.

I'm Spartacus (7/2), Lismacbryan Hill (4/1), Sovereign Banter (9/2), Jackie Brown (11/2), Masked Angel (6/1), Bowman (6/1), Sakakawea (10/1), Steel Magnolia (14/1), Rattletheonionbag (25/1), Fort Star (33/1), Serengeti Sunrise (33/1), Hezahunk (50/1)

JACKIE BROWN caught the eye a bit back from a break here last month and was successful over C&D off a slightly higher mark at a similar time last year. Last week's C&D 1-2-4 I'm Sparatcus, Sovereign Banter and Bowman are likely to have a say again, while Rattletheonionbag should be sharper for a recent outing here and is one to note in the betting having dipped to a good mark.
