15/2

Back on the up when scoring over 7f at Newcastle early this month and followed up in ready fashion over the same C&D (10/3) 13 days ago. Not taken lightly in hat-trick bid, especially with a promising 7-lb claimer taking over in the saddle.

Form: 13-5511

5/1

Ended last season in good form and has picked up where he left off this year, recording a fifth C&D success in 12-runner event (8/1) 8 days ago. Can remain competitive at this venue.

Bajan Bandit^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: C Horgan⁽⁵⁾| T: P Morris| OR: 68| CD

20/1

Has continued in good heart since winning over 7f at Newcastle in December, having excuses penultimate start and quickly bouncing back when fourth of 8 at Newcastle (8f, 20/1) on latest. Back down in grade here and fitted with cheekpieces for a second time (out of sorts when tried previously).

Form: 2-53304

Lord Capulet⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Jack Callan⁽⁵⁾| T: K A Ryan| OR: 68| D

15/8

Has gone from strength to strength back under more positive tactics this year, completing a hat-trick in a good time at Newcastle (5/4) 9 days ago. Looks ready for this step back up in grade, especially wth a good-value claimer taking over for the first time.

Form: 647-111

Saisons D'Or¹³

Age: 11| Weight: 9-4| J: J Garritty| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 65| CD

40/1

Front runner who was successful over C&D last May and at Catterick in August. Shaped as if needing the run when returning from a break 13 days ago and far from certain to get his own way up front.

No Knee Never^t,p⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: S H James| T: James Owen| OR: 64| CD

11/1

Doubled his tally over this C&D in January and has made the frame back here last 2 starts, respectable fourth behind Packetofbiscuits in 12-runner contest (12/1) 8 days ago. Can give his running here once more.

Forecasts

Packetofbiscuits (15/8), Lord Capulet (15/8), King Of York (5/1), Flowstate (15/2), Age Of Time (10/1), No Knee Never (11/1), Singoura (16/1), Bajan Bandit (20/1), Saisons D'Or (40/1)

LORD CAPULET has thrived since reverting to making the running and, with an eye-catching jockey booking, can take this step back up in grade in his stride. Recent C&D winner Packetofbiscuits could be the main danger, ahead of the hat-trick seeking Flowstate.
