2/1
Has shown improved form recently, with placings in last three starts. Third of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford (3/1) 4 days ago, not quick enough to lead but doing little wrong. Well handicapped on current form and capable of success at this course where he's won before.

14/1
Showed promise when 2nd before finishing eighth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (9/1) 25 days ago, below-par following a good run. Blinkers back on replacing visor might help rekindle some spark and he's on a workable mark.

4/1
Consistent performer who's only finished out of the frame only once in his last 13 starts (though winless in his last 20 starts) Fourth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6/1) 12 days ago, staying on after taking strong hold. Blinkers back on and entitled to be in the mix with strong pace set to suit.

10/1
Placed third three times at this course before winning an 11-runner handicap at this C&D (5/1) 21 days ago, making all and always holding on. A 4lb rise follows that victory but should remain competitive.

3/1
Without a win in 14 runs and recently changed stables, finished fifth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (10/3) 7 days ago when beaten just 1½ lengths. Back up to a 0-60 but is fairly treated on best form.

40/1
Poor recent form, finished 11th of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (100/1) 16 days ago in first-time visor, racing wide and weakening from 2f out. Visor removed today but plenty to prove.

11/2
Three-time C&D winner without success in 9 runs. Fourth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (5/1) 7 days ago, shaped better than result after rushing up early but fading in final 100 yards. In good heart and likely to appreciate return to this venue.

22/1
Has won twice at this course but without success in last 17 attempts. Eleventh of 12 in handicap over 6f (80/1) 28 days ago, went off too hard in first-time blinkers. Needs to improve on recent form.

Forecasts

Bluebells Boy (2/1), Stash The Cash (3/1), Papa Don't Preach (4/1), Colors Of Freedom (11/2), Street Life (10/1), Desert Champion (14/1), Coast (22/1), Isla Bella (40/1)

Verdict

BLUEBELLS BOY continues in good heart with placings in his last three starts and looks well handicapped to regain the winning thread at a course where he's been successful before. Papa Don't Preach brings consistent form to the table and is feared most in a race that could be run to suit, while Colors of Freedom, a three-time C&D winner, shaped better than the result suggests last week.
