Form & Verdict
3-36; back to winning ways, clinging on in a similar C&D apprentices' handicap (0-65) on Saturday; the promising Conor Whiteley retains the ride, and she'll be a threat to all if taking her chance again 48 hours on from that success.

Form & Verdict
Now 10lb below his last winning mark (here, 9.5f); few positives to take from his efforts this year, beaten in excess of 9l (seventh of ten; 25-1) over 7f here latest; difficult to envisage a revival.

Form & Verdict
Signs of ability in novice/maiden company but failed to make immediate progress for the switch to handicapping, admittedly with an excuse - suffered interference on the home bend - over C&D last October; easing mark, but best watched off a 168-day absence.

Simbas Gift

9st 8lb

J: Billy Loughnane

T: William Muir & Chris Grassick

Lightly raced maiden who reared as the stalls opened on turf last time and did well to get as close; that came off the back of a solid stable debut over C&D and he's shortlisted under Billy Loughnane (1-9 for the yard).

Six race maiden; well held in two handicaps for his previous stable but he posted a solid effort at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) on his first start for this yard 23 days ago; may come on from that first start for 168 days.

J: Hope Regan

His last four wins have come on AW at Wolverhampton; six C&D runs have yielded formfigures of 243234; third at Wolverhampton 12 days ago (for today's rider) and he should be in the thick of the action once again.

9st 4lb

J: Hope Regan

T: Mark Loughnane

Three-time C&D winner, latterly off 4lb higher in February; fine on Polytrack but the return here is an obvious plus off a career-low mark and he's another with claims in an open handicap.

Form & Verdict
Came from off the pace (in refitted blinkers) to run down Von Krolock in a 7f apprentices' handicap at Southwell (10-1) on penultimate start; only eighth (King Of Speed fourth) over C&D subsequently; 4lb higher now, with a different claiming rider booked.

Form & Verdict
Kept on well to score over 7f here (10-1; from 5lb higher) in December; form has dipped since February, slowly away, failing to beat a single rival at Newcastle (1m) just over a fortnight ago; needs to rediscover a spark.

Three AW wins, the latest over C&D in December; went through a quiet spell since his most recent 7f run here (in January) but fared better back over C&D in May when going close off a reduced mark; bang there.
