Down To The Kid21
Age: 7|  Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Hart| T: M Herrington| OR:  84| BF| CD
Eight-time course winner who still looked in top form when third under a penalty in higher grade here last time. Makes plenty of appeal.

Eligible28
Age: 10|  Weight: 9-8| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR:  83| CD
In the form of his life at the age of 10, having completed the hat-trick with his fifth C&D win (9/2, 8 runners) 28 days ago. Never been on a mark this high before, however.

I Still Have Faith16
Age: 6|  Weight: 9-8| J: S M Levey| T: S C Williams| OR:  83
Second over this trip at Ascot in October (beaten short head) and reappearance/stable debut earlier this month best ignored. Likely to be back to making more of an impact.

Age: 6|  Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D Menuisier| OR:  83| D
Shaped as though ahead of his mark when close second (worried out of it late) at Kempton in December. Keener than ideal last time and needs things to fall right.

Secret Guest38
Age: 6|  Weight: 9-8| J: D Nolan| T: B Smart| OR:  83
Second of 6 in handicap at this C&D (11/2) 38 days ago behind a far superior rival. Not fully exposed at this trip.

Madame De Sevigne79
Age: 5|  Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J Butler| OR:  82| D
Yet to run a bad race on a synthetic surface, fourth of 11 in a handicap at Kempton most recently. Not the most straightforward but on a handy mark for new yard and jockey booking catches the eye.

Bravo Zulup10
Age: 5|  Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: D Loughnane| OR:  82| CD
Dual C&D winner who ran better than for a while over 10f at Lingfield last time whilst shaping as though that stretched him.

North View40
Age: 5|  Weight: 9-7| J: Jack Dace(5)| T: S C Williams| OR:  82| D
Underwhelming in 2025 given his 3-y-o form but won with something to spare on stable debut at Chelmsford (11/2) 40 days ago. Can follow up off 4 lb higher.

Tennessee Gold28
Age: 5|  Weight: 9-6| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Parr| OR:  81| D
Failed to improve for recent run/first-time cheekpieces when fourth behind Down To The Kid over C&D last time but does reoppose on better terms.

Commander Of Life17
Age: 5|  Weight: 9-5| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Jessica Macey| OR:  80| D
In fine heart, runner-up over C&D in January and at Wolverhampton (9.5f) earlier this month. Should remain competitive.

Echalar16
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-5| J: D Egan| T: Ian Williams| OR:  80| D
Capitalised on falling mark at Wolverhampton in January (first run since being gelded) but failed to back that up next time and now with a different yard.

Deauville Blue274
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-4| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR:  79
Showed ability in useful maiden/valuable sales race as juvenile but has run only once since and plenty to prove on handicap debut.

Forecasts

Down To The Kid (7/2), North View (9/2), Metaverse (7/1), Eligible (15/2), Madame De Sevigne (8/1), Secret Guest (10/1), Tennessee Gold (10/1), Commander Of Life (10/1), I Still Have Faith (12/1), Echalar (16/1), Deauville Blue (20/1), Bravo Zulu (25/1)

Verdict

NORTH VIEW scored with something to spare at Chelmsford on stable debut and should be able to defy a 4 lb rise. Prolific course winner Down To The Kid surely won't be far away, though, while Madame de Sevigne looks interesting on first start for new connections.
