Beaumadier⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Hart| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 70| CD

4/1

C&D winner. Three wins from 19 runs last year. Latest win here in November. Fifth of 8 in handicap (18/1) at this C&D 7 days ago, left poorly placed, so that run easy to excuse.

Form: 421255-

Bang On The Bell^b¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Jonny Peate| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 69| CD

6/1

Four-time C&D winner. Seventh of 9 in handicap (12/1) at Southwell (5f) 15 days ago. Now just 1 lb above last winning mark but others more persuasive.

Form: 424867-

(7)

Blue Force^h²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 69| CD

13/2

Two wins from 6 runs last year. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this C&D (7/2) 25 days ago. Up 4 lb but can remain competitive.

Form: 108491-

(6)

Honour Your Dreams^h¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: William Carson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 67| D

18/1

Three wins from 14 runs last year, latest of them at Lingfield in July. Last of 8 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 80/1) 14 days ago. Hood back on.

Form: 190838-

Emperor's Son^v²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: D Nolan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 67| D

4/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. 3/1, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 29 days ago. Visor back on and he's found his level.

Form: 402623-

Speed Of Maajid^p²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Marco Ghiani| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 67| D

11/4

Eleven runs since last win in 2025. 11/2, another sound effort when second of 13 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 21 days ago. Expected to be bang there from the same mark.

Form: 772422-

Basholo³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 66| CD

33/1

Six-time C&D winner, latest of them a career best in 7-runner handicap 39 days ago by short head from Gustav Graves, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Must improve to defy 4 lb higher mark.

Form: 804101-

Gustav Graves¹¹^{(ex 4)}

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Joanna Mason| T: D Shaw| OR: 60| CD

6/1

Seven-time C&D winner. Three wins from 21 runs last year. Won 7-runner handicap at this C&D (7/2) 11 days ago. Carries penalty but a danger to all if getting a good pace to aim at.

Form: 212741-

Forecasts

Speed Of Maajid (11/4), Emperor's Son (4/1), Beaumadier (4/1), Gustav Graves (6/1), Bang On The Bell (6/1), Blue Force (13/2), Honour Your Dreams (18/1), Basholo (33/1)

SPEED OF MAAJID has been knocking on the door for a little while now so a deserved second career win may well be forthcoming. Blue Force is a fairly uncomplicated ride and is dangerous if able to boss these early, while Emperor's Son is a danger if settling.
