Act Of Violence

9st 7lb

J: Hollie Doyle

T: David Loughnane

Unable to justify favouritism on his stable debut at Wolverhampton in November; excuse next time and although he ran respectably at Wolverhampton last month, it wasn't a run that conclusively proved his stamina for 7f; now tried in an eyeshield.

J: Tom Kiely-Marshall

T: Tim Easterby

Hinted at a revival in latest start and is attractively treated assuming he builds on that effort; gained sole handicap success off 5lb higher (in 2024).

J: Joe Leavy

T: John Gallagher

Close third off this reduced mark at Brighton (6f, good to firm) last month and he can't be discounted; however, this 8yo has been inconsistent this season and was soundly beaten back at Brighton most recently.

8st 8lb

J: Jack Callan

T: John Gallagher

A bit in and out lately, but having dropped 5lb below his last winning mark he finished a close third of 13 here (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago; return to this trip will be no problem given his record over C&D reads 3121351123; high on list.

Dragon God

9st 9lb

J: Joanna Mason

T: Tony Carroll

Still a maiden after ten runs but has been placed twice on good to firm ground this spring (6f/5f) and may not have been suited by good to soft when slightly disappointing last time; this trip could be ideal; no surprise if he features.

J: Billy Loughnane

T: Tony Carroll

Yet to score but he ran respectably on his last two starts, finishing third at Leicester (6f) last month and again at Windsor (5f, also good to firm; yet to race on slower than good) a fortnight ago; return to this trip can aid his cause and he looks the best of three chances for Tony Carroll.

Some Nightmare

8st 8lb

J: Myla Coppins

T: John O’Shea

Three-time C&D winner who raced on the 'wrong' side of the course when fifth behind Fletcher's Flight here nine days ago; 5lb better off today, with Myla Coppins taking off another 7lb, and there's every chance he turns things round.

A three-time C&D scorer (twice last summer) and this veteran got back on track with third of seven in 5.5f Bath handicap 25 days ago; a likely player eased 1lb returned here.

J: Ben Ffrench Davis

T: Grace Harris

Bagged a pair of 6f Wolverhampton handicaps for Ivan Furtado last autumn; ended his time with that yard below his best though and he's fared no better in 5f/6f Chepstow handicaps for his new handler recently.

A fair 6f scorer for Ivan Furtado in 2025; changed hands for 2,000gns before coming in just tenth for new yard in 6f handicap here 16 days ago; needs to take a big step forward.
