Won at this course over 11f on his penultimate start 32 days ago, capitalising on a favourable mark. Beaten by more than a wide trip when ninth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (3/1) 24 days ago under a 4-lb penalty. Returns to the scene of that recent success.

Won at this course last month in a revival of form. Performed at least as well when second of 12 in handicap at Kempton (4/1 fav) 22 days ago under penalty, clearly at the top of her game at present. Returns to scene of that success up 3 lb and should be in the mix.

Veteran who hasn't won in almost a year, fifth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (10/1) 26 days ago where he set the pace and led until 1f out before weakening. Back up in trip and has won at this C&D but needs to find more.

Won handicap at Ripon last June but hasn't performed since, finishing tenth of 12 in conditions race at Newcastle (20/1) 6 months ago where he was very slowly away and made no impression. Returns with plenty to prove.

Winless in 33 career starts and ran just respectably when fifth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (28/1) 17 days ago, his seventh outing in little more than a month. Remains hard to fancy.

Failed to make much impact in his career to date and was tailed off in a maiden hurdle at Catterick (100/1) 35 days ago, making a bad mistake at the fourth and labouring from 3 out. Cheekpieces back on.

Improved when third at this track following 13-week absence last month, then fifth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (13/2) 22 days ago, forced wide into home turn, made headway over 1f out but effort flattened out. Has something to build on.

Forecasts

Free Pic (5/2), Moon Over The Sea (7/2), Duchess (4/1), Smokey Malone (5/1), Karismatique (13/2), Some Boy Me (12/1), Busby (22/1), Rampant (28/1), Yakhabar (50/1), Nymphaea (66/1), Apache Eagle (100/1)

Verdict

DUCHESS bounced back to form when winning here last month and performed at least as well when second under a penalty at Kempton 22 days ago. She returns to the scene of that success up 3 lb and clearly at the top of her game, she should be bang there once again. Moon Over The Sea scored here recently and provided he puts a lesser effort behind him, he can offer most resistance ahead of last-time-out winner Smokey Malone.
