8/1
C&D winner on his reappearance last term and went on to bag another 2 handicaps at Chepstow and Salisbury during the summer. Lost all chance at the start back here on first start of this season and while a line can be drawn through that run, others make more appeal all the same.

10/11
Ended a losing run at Chelmsford (7f) in February and wasn't seen to best effect at the same course on his next 2 starts. No obvious excuses when down the field at Southwell last time but he was a C&D winner on sole previous visit here and his current mark is an attractive one.

9/1
Losing run stretches back to 2023 but made the frame all 4 appearances last year and reappearance spin at Kempton at the beginning of the month was probably needed. Down to a career-low mark and he's by no means discounted.

Latest win was gained off a 2 lb lower mark at Chepstow in August 2024. Placed twice during a truncated campaign last season but well held on latest start at Epsom and entitled to need the run following a 9-month absence.

Looks pretty modest judged on what he's shown in his 7 starts to date and hopes now pinned on the change of headgear (first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces) sparking improvement.

9/4
Has won 3 times over this C&D and made the frame on 3 of his 4 visits to this course in 2025. Solid second from the front on return to action on the all-weather at Lingfield last month and should make a bold bid to go one better.

Forecasts

Signcastle City (10/11), My Ambition (9/4), Darvel (8/1), Magical Merlin (9/1), Redredrobin (18/1), Prodigal Son (22/1)

Verdict

The one who appeals most is MY AMBITION, who likes it here and he made a positive start to the present campaign when runner-up at Lingfield off this mark last month. It's likely that Signcastle City will also come to the fore, provided that he's able to shrug off a disappointing effort last time, while Magical Merlin should come on for his pipe-opener at Kempton and is also likely to have a say.
