Age: 10| Weight: 9-11| J: David Probert| T: Ian Williams| OR: 96| D

50/1

9/2, eighth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster 118 days ago. Off 118 days. Useful on the Flat, and returns to this sphere on an appealing mark, so worth considering if strong in the betting.

King Of The South^v³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Shepherd| T: W J Knight| OR: 95| CD

5/4

Two wins from 6 runs last year. 2/1 and visored for 1st time, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D 38 days ago, keeping on well. Obvious claims.

Form: 3112-21

Culture^v²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: J Garritty| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 89| D

7/1

Three wins from 8 runs last year. 11/2, first run since leaving Tom Ward when good third of 6 in handicap at this course (10.2f) 24 days ago, needing stronger gallop. One to note back up in trip.

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 85| DWS

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Marco Ghiani⁽³⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 80| CD

2/1

3-time C&D winner. Three wins from 14 runs last year. Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at this C&D (7/2) 24 days ago, slowly away. Excellent claims in bid for the four timer.

Form: 34-5111

Kitten's Dream¹⁸⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-6| J: Barry McHugh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 78| D

8/1

Two wins from 6 runs last year. Career best when winning 7-runner handicap (11/2) at Catterick (12.1f, good), slowly away. 8lb higher now. Off 6 months. May do better still if tuned up.

Forecasts

King Of The South (5/4), Madeeh (2/1), Culture (7/1), Kitten's Dream (8/1), Arabic Culture (18/1), Byron Flyer (50/1)

MADEEH overcame an unpromising tactical position to get the better of a subsequent winner last time, completing a C&D hat-trick in the process, and a four-timer is very much on the cards despite the presence of King of The South, who also boasts a terrific track record. Culture is on the radar, too.
