Didn't arrive in much form but capitalised on a sliding mark in 5-runner event at Chepstow (1ÂĽm) last month. Unable to confirm that effort from a 4 lb higher mark when sixth of 11 at Chester (10.5f) 10 days ago but looks worth chancing returned to a 0-60 under forecast testing conditions.

Switch to front-running tactics produced an upturn in fortunes, winning a classified stakes by a wide margin at Ripon (1ÂĽm, soft) 3 weeks ago. Clearly improved a good deal and not without hope back in handicap company if able to lead again.

Southwell maiden winner in October 2024 but has largely struggled in handicaps since. Suffered a nasty incident on the first bend making his return/yard debut when slipping up at Thirsk last month and ran poorly returned to the all-weather at Kempton last week. Cheekpieces reapplied.

20/1
Dual scorer in 2025 who bounced back to winning ways when taking 10-runner classified event over C&D (good) last month. Didn't get going in time back on softer ground at Chepstow 8 days later so percentage call is to look elsewhere.

Five-time winner on the Flat in Germany but hasn't offered much over hurdles for current yard this year and it's been a similar story returned to this sphere on his last 4 outings.

Veteran who hasn't won for over 5 years but arrives in good order, third of 10 at this course (1½m, good) last month. Record on the level for these connections now 0-21 so will most likely find a few too strong once again.

Finally got off the mark back in a handicap in 6-runner event at Chepstow (1ÂĽm, soft) just over 3 weeks ago, responding well to the refitting of cheekpieces and a positive ride. Nudged up 4 lb and he could kick on now up and running.

Standout effort when third on handicap debut here (1½m, soft) in June. A pair of next-time-out winners emerged from that race but he's offered little all 3 starts since. First run for yard after leaving Ralph Beckett (5,000 gns) and first-time cheekpieces are reached for.

Forecasts

Zambezi Magic (11/8), Rogers Dream (13/8), Elora Prince (11/1), Adrian (11/1), Summer Evening (14/1), Mick The Hat (16/1), City Escape (20/1), Trooper (66/1), Calaxy (66/1)

Verdict

ZAMBEZI MAGIC loves it around here and provided he can leave a lesser effort behind returned to class 6 company, he's fancied to add a seventh C&D success to his tally. Rogers Dream opened her account in impressive fashion at Ripon last month, so she heads up the dangers back in a handicap, with Elora Prince and City Escape taken to fight out third.
