Last of 6 at Wolverhampton (50/1) 36 days ago after breathing operation. Dropped 5lbs and has questions to answer despite a marked drop in class.

Rey De La Batalla³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Paddy Bradley| T: S Dow| OR: 74| CD

11/4

Won this race 12 months ago, one of two C&D wins. Fifth of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (7/2) 31 days ago, back up in grade and wasn't in same form as last time. Returning to lower grade where he's ran well before.

Kit Gabriel²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Tyler Heard| T: S Pearce| OR: 72| D

8/1

Won at Kempton on stable debut in October but finished last of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (33/1) 20 days ago, probably needing the run after 12 weeks off. May improve for that outing.

Me Tarzan^b¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Harry Vigors⁽⁷⁾| T: A Watson| OR: 71| CD

4/1

Won at this C&D (4/1) 45 days ago before disappointing 6th at Chelmsford 29 days ago. Fourth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (7/1) 17 days ago, ran better than previous run, deserving extra credit given he raced closer to a true pace. Should remain competitive.

Form: 2331-64

Dream Of Mischief⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Rob Hornby| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 71| CD

11/4

Won with a bit in hand at Kempton (7f) in October when dropped to 0-70 grade, then seventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D (8/1) 40 days ago, wasn't disgraced despite again being trapped very wide. Better record on AW than turf and previous C&D winner can resume winning ways with a smoother passage.

Elouise's Prince^h¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Jude Fernandes⁽⁷⁾| T: L A Dace| OR: 70

22/1

Little impact in recent handicaps, eighth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (100/1) 10 days ago. Down 5lbs with plenty to prove.

Form: 0009-78

Party Bear^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: K R Burke| OR: 70| D

11/4

Has won twice from 12 starts but without a win in 6 runs since last April. Bounced back to best when second of 11 in handicap at Kempton (15/2) 12 days ago, going down by the narrowest of margins in first-time cheekpieces. Capable of going close again if headgear has same effect.

Form: 5008-62

Comedian Leader⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: William Cox| T: J & S Best| OR: 59| D

100/1

Out of sorts in recent starts. Seventh of 9 in handicap at this course (80/1) 7 days ago, dived right leaving stalls and always behind.

Form: 1987-77

Forecasts

Party Bear (11/4), Dream Of Mischief (11/4), Rey De La Batalla (11/4), Me Tarzan (4/1), Manhattan Chute (6/1), Kit Gabriel (8/1), Iconic Times (10/1), Elouise's Prince (22/1), Obsidian Dream (33/1), Comedian Leader (100/1)

DREAM OF MISCHIEF hasn't been seen to best effect since winning with something to spare at Kempton and looks worth another chance. Rey De La Batalla won this race 12 months ago and returns to a lower grade where he's previously excelled, while Party Bear looked back to her best when narrowly denied at Kempton 12 days ago, with first-time cheekpieces clearly having the desired effect.
