22/1

Progressed well during a highly-productive 2025, gaining a fourth career victory in nurseries at Chelmsford (5f) in October. Came back soundly beaten after 9 months off in a C&D handicap 5 weeks ago and she'll need to step up plenty on that.

Form: 11314-8

9/2

Seen to much better advantage in a soundly-run race when winning 7-runner event over C&D in June, by 1½ lengths from Shallow, leading final 1f. Held every chance when finishing a place behind that rival when third back here 5 weeks ago and her mark looks about right.

4/1

Dual all-weather scorer who remained in good form but never looked like laying a glove on the winner when second of 5 in handicap at Ffos Las (5f, good to firm) in June. Winner that day has gone in again since and she's one to consider back down in grade returned to 6f.

Form: 21-1432

Shallow^v²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: George Wood| T: R Spencer| OR: 78| CD

3/1

Successful over C&D last July and back to that level in a first-time visor when second back here 2 starts back. Disappointed in a big-field handicap at Goodwood (6f) on latest outing 24 days ago but no great surprise to see her bounce back returned to this venue.

Angel Shared²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: D C Costello| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 77| CD

11/4

Rattled off a quick-fire hat-trick when defying a 7 lb higher mark in this race 12 months ago. Largely operating below her best in handful of starts this year but takes a handy drop in grade here and a revival certainly shouldn't be ruled out.

Bright Summer²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: A M Balding| OR: 76

17/2

Confirmed debut promise when winning Lingfield novice over 7f in May. Has failed to match that on 2 of her 3 starts since, albeit not lasting home having raced freely when tenth of 12 at York (7f) 4 weeks ago. Not one to write off from this mark, though, from what appeals as a fair mark down at 6f.

Adalida²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Callum Shepherd| T: S C Williams| OR: 73

22/1

Back on track switched to the minimum trip in recent months, doubling her tally at Yarmouth (firm) in July. No match for an improver when second at Lingfield (6f) 4 weeks ago but that confirms she remains in top form.

Form: 710212

Seeing Stars^p¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Harry Davies| T: W J Knight| OR: 67

16/1

Got off the mark in 7f maiden at Kempton in January and largely in good nick in handicaps since, quickly dispelling a lesser effort equipped with first-time cheekpieces when a close fourth at Nottingham (6f) 10 days ago. Had no excuses then but likely she can remain competitive.

Form: 134384

Forecasts

Angel Shared (11/4), Shallow (3/1), Zighy (4/1), Powdering (9/2), Bright Summer (17/2), Seeing Stars (16/1), Elara May (22/1), Adalida (22/1)

SHALLOW needs to dispel a lesser effort at Goodwood on her most recent start 24 days ago but she'd previously gone close on each of her last 2 visits to this C&D and could be worth chancing to bounce back. Zighy and 3-time C&D winner Angel Shared are others to consider in what is a competitive heat.
