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

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.

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

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.

Fifteen runs since last win in 2024. Runner-up on the second of 3 all-weather starts for James Owen in February but left that yard after finishing sixth at Wolverhampton last time. Both wins on polytrack but he acts on turf.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Forecasts

Volendam (9/4), Happy Chandler (6/1), Nammos (6/1), Baynoona (8/1), Villalobos (8/1), Ciotog (10/1), Hawaiian King (10/1), American Rose (12/1), Miss Moonshine (20/1), Redhot Whisper (25/1), Cherry Hill (25/1), Havana Club (25/1), Purple Sky (33/1), Majestic Leo (50/1)

Verdict

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.
