OR: 67

Form & Verdict
Not the force he once was but was still up to winning over C&D a third time when justifying favouritism six days ago (first start for this trainer); now looks well treated under 4lb penalty and has won a small-field event before.

Stays 1m but all eight of his wins have come over 7f, the latest at Kempton 18 days ago; should get a good pace to aim at and he holds each-way claims again.

J: Oliver Searle

T: Rod Millman

Well held after a slow start here (1m) 12 days ago but that was after two solid placed efforts at Lingfield (7f/1m); losing run is now up to 15 but he's on a dangerous mark and could get involved if he gets a good pace and some luck; cheekpieces removed.

Form & Verdict
Multiple winner on turf and AW, most recently at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) on his penultimate start; matched that effort when run out of it into third late on at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) latest; respected.

9st 5lb

J: James Sullivan

T: Ruth Carr

Gained his second C&D success when winning off a 2lb higher mark in February but he's been down the field in four starts since, including when missing the break at Lingfield 27 days ago; return to form is needed.

9st 7lb

J: Taryn Langley

T: Ruth Carr

Well short of his best on his last three starts but he won off this mark at Southwell in early February (7f); capable on a good day but this isn't sure to be run to suit.

Form & Verdict
Showed some ability last summer and didn't need to be at her best to win a fillies' novice event here (1m) last September; yet to make a significant impact in handicaps and this looks tough based on her latest effort.

Novice winner; belied her 80-1 odds in small field at Lingfield (7f) last week, finishing 2l third and producing her best handicap effort; the quandary is whether she'll back up that form.

Form & Verdict
Dual C&D winner; losing run now at 19 starts; went close when 1lb higher at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) last month and, despite being below par at Newcastle last time, he's not ruled out.

J: Myla Coppins

T: Tony Carroll

Recorded the 18th win of his long career when leading late over C&D in February (for Myla Coppins); ran well behind a thriving rival at Lingfield next time but he failed to fire over C&D a fortnight ago (finished behind Coloane); he has bounced back from quiet runs before so can't be ruled out.

J: Olivia Tubb

T: Tony Carroll

18th success of his long career when getting the better of Antiquity (winner since and runs in the 6.00) over C&D last month; bumped into an in-form opponent at Lingfield two weeks ago (7f; blinkered first time); another 2lb rise is not ideal but he is likely to give his running.

J: Myla Coppins

T: Tony Carroll

Well into the veteran stage but he retains plenty of enthusiasm and ran on well to beat a subsequent winner (Age Of Time third) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) three weeks ago, his 18th success; a 2lb rise not excessive but late in the day to be giving blinkers a go (has run well in new headgear before).
