J: Aidan Keeley

T: D Donovan

Three-time C&D winner, ridden prominently for those successes, and now 8lb lower than for the latest of them; not hit top gear in three runs for this yard and he'll be 3lb lower from the weekend; still needs a market check with blinkers tried for the first time.

All three wins over C&D in 2022; promising start for new yard after Christmas but he ran no race at Southwell (mixed record there but does handle the surface) ten days ago and now has the hood discarded; on a good mark at present and may well return to form back here.

Prominent racer whose three career wins have come over 6f at Wolverhampton (when trained by Ivan Furtado); shaped nicely under his optimum conditions on stable debut ten days ago but he has a bit more to prove at this venue; one to keep an eye on in the betting.

Seven-race maiden; below her best in a Chepstow maiden 16 days ago but she is now 5lb lower than for her last handicap run; could still have a bigger run in her.

Maiden after nine races, seven of them over 6f; her two 5f races (on two of her last three starts) were modest shows, so she may well be of renewed interest back at this trip; ran respectably sole start on Polytrack and good second on Tapeta on penultimate start; drawn wide.

No win away from Chelmsford since September 2021; agonisingly close at Newcastle (5f, AW) on penultimate start and bang there in a classified at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) on latest, which needs respect, but this test might be a little too sharp.

Winless away from Chelmsford since September 2021's 5f success here, though came agonisingly close to putting that right in a Newcastle 0-55 handicap latest; replication of the form of June's C&D third (good to firm) won't quite suffice, and there's likely competition for the lead also.
