Lord Capulet²¹

6/4

Back down in trip, returned to best when winning 11-runner handicap at this C&D (17/2) 3 weeks ago, finding extra reverted to front-running tactics. Remains on a workable mark and can make another bold bid.

Form: 07647-1

Book Of Life²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: D Nolan| T: P Morris| OR: 59| D

9/1

Sole British success came at Wolverhampton (9.5f) a year ago. However, placed on 2 of 3 starts for present trainer, second of 11 in handicap at this course (8f, 40/1) 3 weeks ago, and he drops in grade here.

33/1

Remains a maiden, but stepped forward from first 2 efforts for current yard when fourth of 13 in handicap (25/1) at this C&D 6 weeks ago. Will need to find more again.

Coramento⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Joanna Mason| T: D Thompson| OR: 58| CD

7/1

Won 3 times here last year, with latest success over 8f in November. Never involved when sixth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 9/2) 8 days ago, but he could get back on track returned to this venue.

Form: 4211-66

Ana Emaraaty^b⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 57| CD

15/2

Benefited from the step back up in trip when winning 9-runner handicap at this C&D (3/1) 7 days ago by head from Ardaddy, suited by the sound gallop. That was his fifth course success and he can remain competitive.

Form: 5733-41

Ardaddy⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Oliver Stammers| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 57| D

11/1

Off the mark at Southwell in October and bounced back to that level when head second of 9 to Ana Emaraaty in handicap at this C&D (9/2) 7 days ago. Task is now to build on latest effort.

Form: 7375-72

Instant Bond^t¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Ben Robinson| T: M Wigham| OR: 55

10/1

Still looking for his first victory, but in first-time tongue strap he soon left behind a lesser effort when neck second of 8 in handicap at this course (6f, 4/1) 11 days ago. Can give another good account.

Form: 0332-52

Pit Boss^t,p⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Billy Garritty| T: L Bailey| OR: 54

15/2

Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs, but ran well when never-nearer 2 lengths fourth of 9 to Ana Emaraaty in handicap at this C&D (5/1) a week ago. Needs things to drop right given his hold-up style.

Form: 3727-74

Forecasts

Lord Capulet (6/4), Coramento (7/1), Pit Boss (15/2), Ana Emaraaty (15/2), Book Of Life (9/1), Minshaar (9/1), Instant Bond (10/1), Jkr Cobbler (10/1), Ardaddy (11/1), Amelia's Joy (33/1), Serengeti Sunrise (50/1)

This can go the way of LORD CAPULET, who took advantage of his reduced mark when making all at this C&D last time and could still have more to offer now that he's up and running. He can see off the challenge of 5-time course winner Ana Emaraaty, with Minshaar also in the mix.
