Dc Cogent⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: P Mulrennan| T: B Smart| OR: 69| C

3/1

Course winner who has eased a little in the weights and he ran right up to his best when second of 8 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 53 days ago, that despite meeting with trouble in running. Nudged up 1 lb on the back of that but he's very much one to consider.

Form: 849642-

Judgment Call⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Kaiya Fraser| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 69| CD

6/1

Unreliable individual. Latest win over C&D in December. However, seemingly gone off the boil in recent weeks, coming in eighth of 9 in handicap (12/1) at this course (7.1f) 4 days ago. Others arrive with more pressing claims.

Form: 14-3508

Blackjack^b³⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: Sean Kirrane| T: A D Brown| OR: 67| CD

14/1

Dual C&D winner who was successful off this mark in this race 12 months ago. 11/1, respectable 2½ lengths fourth of 9 to Showtime Mahomes in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 35 days ago, fading only in the final 100 yds. Blinkers back on.

Form: 15646-4

Showtime Mahomes²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Oliver Stammers| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 66| D

14/1

Latest win at Southwell in January. 4/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 28 days ago, fading final 1f. Not dismissed.

Form: 7994-16

Phoenix Of Dreams^h²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 66| D

9/1

Form proved rather up and down during a light 2025 campaign but he lines up having run his best race for a while when third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 22 days ago. Now his task is to build on that here.

Form: 8607-63

(2)

Brian The Snail^p²²

Age: 12| Weight: 9-4| J: D Nolan| T: P Morris| OR: 64| CD

18/1

Veteran C&D winner who is seemingly just ticking over at present, never dangerous when ninth of 10 in handicap (14/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 22 days ago, racing off the pace. Others preferred.

Form: 22055-9

(3)

Northern Attitude¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Joey Ramsden| OR: 61

4/1

13/2, first run since leaving Gemma Tutty when good second of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 11 days ago. Found only a bang in-form rival too strong on that occasion and she's one of the likelier types here.

Form: 45423-2

(5)

Captain Vallo^p⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: S H James| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 60| CD

12/1

3-time C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2025. Bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap (11/2) at this C&D 6 days ago, no extra late on. Needs to pull out a little more if he's to play a lead role here.

Form: 2399-44

(7)

Spartan Fighter^v⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 8-13| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 59| CD

7/2

In fine form in 2026, bringing up a quick-fire C&D hat-trick in January and he ran another cracker when runner-up here 6 days ago, collared late on by a well-backed rival who came from much further back. Another bold showing rates highly likely.

Form: 32-1112

Forecasts

Dc Cogent (3/1), Spartan Fighter (7/2), Northern Attitude (4/1), Judgment Call (6/1), Phoenix Of Dreams (9/1), Captain Vallo (12/1), Showtime Mahomes (14/1), Blackjack (14/1), Brian The Snail (18/1)

DC COGENT ran right up to his best and looked unlucky not to push the winner closer still having met with trouble in running at Southwell back in December and, still unexposed at this trip, he's worth siding with to gain a first success in handicaps. 9-time C&D winner Spartan Fighter has thrived since the turn of the year and is an obvious threat again, with Northern Attitude another shortlisted following her encouraging yard debut second at Southwell 11 days ago.
