7/4
Ended a losing run stretching back to early 2023 when winning last time. First of 11 in conditions race at Wolverhampton over 9f (11/2) 12 days ago, leading over 1f out and staying on. That was only his second win in 44 starts but this looks a good opportunity to follow up.

Yet to win in 29 starts, outpaced and kept on to finish fourth of 7 in 7f handicap at Lingfield (25/1) 19 days ago. Steps back up significantly in trip and again looks vulnerable for win purposes.

13/2
Both career wins at this C&D but over 3 years ago and hasn't won in 24 races since. Fourth of 9 in conditions race at Chelmsford (22/1) 20 days ago on third start back from absence, ran better given more positive ride but faded in final 1f. Interesting if he can build on that.

Yet to win but returned from 7 months off when second of 10 in conditions race at Southwell (16/1) 25 days ago. very much had the run of the race. Circumstances may not be as favourable this time.

8/1
Inconsistent sort had shown little towards the end of last year before he returned to form when second of 9 in conditions race at this C&D (18/1) 10 days ago, conceded first but just failed by a nose. Claims if arriving in same form but hard to be confident.

Inconsistent of late and without a win in 16 races, second at Southwell 25 days ago but eighth of 10 in conditions race at Wolverhampton (33/1) 5 days ago, fared no better and raced wide. Back down in trip.

5/2
Had been on a lengthy losing run stretching back to his 2-y-o days before ending it with a narrow success last time. Won by a nose from Iftikhaar, 1st of 9 in conditions race at this C&D (10/3) 10 days ago, proving stamina beyond 1m. Not an obvious type to follow up but this is another modest race.

33/1
Veteran with no win in previous 8 runs. Fourth of 11 in conditions race at Wolverhampton (66/1) 12 days ago in first-time cheekpieces (retained), ran better than for a while. Likely to be competing for minor honours again.

Forecasts

Al Baahy (7/4), Monks Mead (5/2), Hijo De La Luna (5/1), Come To Pass (13/2), Iftikhaar (8/1), Lawmans Blis (22/1), Capallcliste (33/1), Racing Country (33/1)

Verdict

AL BAAHY ended a losing run stretching back to early 2023 when successful at Wolverhampton 12 days ago and, despite a modest overall strike-rate, he's fancied to follow up. Only a nose separated Monks Mead and Iftikhaar over C&D last week but neither are guaranteed to be in the same form this time.
