11/4
9/1 and blinkered for 1st time, good second of 11 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 17 days ago. Very much one to consider with headgear again sported.

Seventeen runs since last win in 2023. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap (9/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 23 days ago. Up in trip and not ruled out.

9/1
3 wins from 15 runs this year. 14/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 12 days ago, nearest finish. Can give a good account.

Sixth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (40/1) 25 days ago, not ideally placed. Needs considering.

Career best when winning 11-runner handicap (11/2) at Southwell (11.1f) 24 days ago. Not taken lightly in his current mood.

Course winner. Blinkered for 1st time, last of 12 in handicap (33/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 16 days ago, very slowly away. Unreliable sort.

11/4
Readily resumed winning ways in apprentices' handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 3 days ago. Escapes a penalty here so this C&D scorer holds major claims.

Forecasts

Cannon Rock (11/4), Upepo (11/4), Must Believe (4/1), Eupator (7/1), Yokohama (8/1), Meet Me In Meraki (9/1), Civil Law (14/1), Skycutter (22/1), Flaine (80/1), Oviedo (125/1)

Verdict

Tony Carroll has his string in great nick so his C&D scorer UPEPO is hard to oppose going unpenalised for his recent Lingfield victory. Southwell winner Must Believe appeals as the pick of the rest ahead of in-form trio Cannon Rock, Skycutter and Meet Me In Meraki who can fight it out for minor honours.
