Ciotog⁴⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 55| CD

4/1

This winter's all-weather efforts have been no more than respectable but this four-time C&D winner is down to a career-low mark and has to be of interest back at Bath with Billy Loughnane taking the reins.

Form: 670-455

Villalobos^v³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: S Hodgson| OR: 55| D

15/2

All-the-way winner at Lingfield (1m) in December. Fifth of 8 in handicap (5/2) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 31 days ago, going off too hard. Visor back on. Has run well over C&D before. A must for the shortlist.

Form: 3127-45

Redhot Whisper^h³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: A Wintle| OR: 55

11/1

Majestic Leo^b,t²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: D C Costello| T: G Brown| OR: 54

80/1

Offered little over hurdles/on Flat since joining present stable, including tailed off over 1¾m at Chelmsford in this headgear combination 4 weeks ago. It remains to be seen whether a significant drop back in trip makes a difference.

Form: 9589-06

Volendam¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Jack Doughty| T: A W Carroll| OR: 53| BF

5/2

Still a maiden after 17 outings but has placed in 1m all-weather handicaps on 4 of his last 5 starts. Ran well on turf for her previous yard. Likely to go well.

Form: 422623

Purple Sky^p1,t¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: William Carson| T: Joe Ponting| OR: 52

28/1

Turf winner in Ireland last summer but has largely struggled since, including in 4 AW starts for current yard in 2026. Has first-time cheekpieces added to his regular tongue tie.

Form: 90-8777

(14)

Hawaiian King^p³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: George Wood| T: M Madgwick| OR: 52

20/1

Raced only on all-weather. Reached the frame in his first 3 handicaps around 1¼m but seemed caught out by the drop to 1m when only sixth of 9 last Kempton last month. Turf debut.

Form: 83-4486

(1)

Havana Club^h¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Finley Marsh| T: A Wintle| OR: 51| CD

18/1

C&D winner who added to his tally at Wolverhampton (7f) in December. Struggled since but is back on a winning mark if a return to turf sparks a revival.

Form: 159-U88

Baynoona¹⁶⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Millie Wonnacott⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 50| CD

8/1

C&D winner on good to soft in September. Good third back here next time and possibly unsuited by heavy ground on final start. Claims if ready to roll after 5 months off.

Form: 674135-

Happy Chandler^b¹³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Alec Voikhansky| T: M Blake| OR: 49

6/1

Remains a maiden following 15 attempts but better signs towards the end of 2025, finishing fourth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (1m) in November. Off for 136 days.

Form: 385564-

American Rose⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: William Cox| T: H J Evans| OR: 49

22/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2024. Placed in 3 classified events on all-weather to start 2026 but her run of good form came to an abrupt halt at Southwell last time. Bounce back needed.

Form: 67-2238

Miss Moonshine¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Oliver Searle⁽⁵⁾| T: B R Millman| OR: 48

40/1

Ended a long losing run in 7f Lingfield handicap in February but well held back there 11 days ago. Steps up to 1m for the first time on what is her first turf start since 2023. Hard to know what to expect.

Form: 00-4819

Cherry Hill⁸¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Rob Hornby| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 46WS

40/1

Sole success came over 7f at Kempton in 2023. Little promise in only 3 starts last year and fared little better on Kempton return in January. Has undergone wind surgery since.

Form: 47/000-8

Forecasts

Volendam (5/2), Ciotog (4/1), Happy Chandler (6/1), Villalobos (15/2), Baynoona (8/1), Redhot Whisper (11/1), Nammos (12/1), Havana Club (18/1), Hawaiian King (20/1), American Rose (22/1), Purple Sky (28/1), Miss Moonshine (40/1), Cherry Hill (40/1), Majestic Leo (80/1)

CIOTOG is an 8-y-o now but should still have a bit of class for this level and is taken to bounce back to form and land a fifth win at Bath. Villalobos, Volendam and last September's C&D scorer Baynoona head the dangers.
