Michael Maine Memorial Cup Handicap

C&D winner who last scored at Ffos Las in July. Posted another respectable effort when third of 5 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 8 days ago and he should give another good account.

Successful twice last season, including over C&D. Back on track despite not really being seen to maximum effect from rear when fifth of 7 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good, 10/1) 25 days ago and he's not discounted having edged back down the weights.

Ran to a fair level on 2 of her qualifying runs in 2024 but made no impact in 4 handicaps last season and she's easy enough to oppose after 7 months off.

Winless in 2025 for Philip McBride and unseated leaving the stalls on debut for this yard. Refused to settle with first-time cheekpieces applied at Lingfield (5f, good to soft, 18/1) 18 days ago and others look more solid propositions despite application on tongue strap.

Scored on heavy ground at this C&D in September off this mark and should strip fitter for comeback run at Bath. Rain would increase his chance.

Posted several good efforts without winning on the all-weather in the winter but not quite in the same form on his last couple of starts, albeit looking rusty after a 13-week break when last of 12 over 6f here last month. Blinkers now go back on.

Respectable fourth at Wolverhampton on final outing for Ivan Furtado but below form starting out for this yard when tenth of 12 in handicap at this course (6f, good, 16/1) 16 days ago. Others preferred.

Three-time C&D winner was back to form when third of 7 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good) 25 days ago. Remains below last winning mark, so merits consideration.

Offered little in 3 starts for Barry Brennan early this year but was the subject of a gamble and shaped as if back in form fourth of 8 at Wolverhampton (5f) on yard debut 32 days ago, just seeming to find the drop back to 5f against him. Might be worth another chance at this trip.
