Course winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Ninth of 12 in handicap (9/1) at this C&D 33 days ago. Not taken lightly at these weights if back on her A-game.

Dollar's Dream²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: P A Kirby| OR: 57

18/1

Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Seventh of 10 in novice at this course (12.2f, 125/1) 26 days ago. Needs this switch to handicaps to spark improvement.

Black Smoke^b,t²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: Jack Dace⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 48| CD

9/1

3-time C&D winner. Latest win at Chepstow in July. Off 11 weeks before a fading eighth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (13f, AW) 24 days ago. A likely player eased 2 lb with that run under his belt.

Form: 127768

(5)

Rampant^v¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Jack Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: P Morris| OR: 47

7/1

Remains a maiden after 27 Flat runs. 50/1, creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 9 days ago. Up in trip and ought to be thereabouts. Engaged 5.35 here Friday.

Form: 428345

(11)

Himself³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: L Morris| T: P A Kirby| OR: 48

9/2

Got off the mark in 9-runner handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 33 days ago, just holding on. Up 2 lb but he's firmly in the picture.

Form: 648531

Forecasts

Himself (3/1), Grand Duchess Olga (4/1), Zooks (5/1), Daaris (6/1), Rampant (8/1), Appleblossomwhite (10/1), Alnayef (10/1), Dollar's Dream (14/1), Fleur De Mer (16/1), Black Smoke (25/1), Oviedo (66/1)

This is wide open but BLACK SMOKE should strip fitter for his recent Lingfield eighth after a lay-off and can capitalise on a 2 lb lower mark here to bag a fourth C&D victory. Fellow C&D winner Daaris could emerge as the chief threat on the back of a good Chelmsford City third with Fleur De Mer also weighted to go well if back on her A-game. Grand Duchess Olga and Zooks need factoring in too.
