5/1

Four wins from 18 runs last year. Good third of 12 in handicap (18/1) at this C&D 9 days ago. Entitled to come on for that, his first run for 4 months, and he's worth considering.

15/2

Didn't need to be at best when winning 3-runner seller at Southwell (5f, 4/9) 16 days ago. Back up in trip on first run for yard after leaving George Boughey. More on her plate here.

18/1

C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Sixth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (8/1) 17 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Chance if rediscovering old form.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: D Swift| T: A D Brown| OR: 59| CD

8/1

C&D winner on debut in November. 12/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at this course (8f) 17 days ago. Back down in trip and blinkers on 1st time. Opposable.

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Frederick Larson⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 55

17/2

Three wins from 19 runs last year. Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 10/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 30 days ago, doing too much too soon. One to consider back down in trip.

Form: 92-3428

Oriental Lilly^p⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 8-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: J S Goldie| OR: 53| CD

11/1

Forecasts

Ginato (10/3), Merry Secret (5/1), Desert Lime (15/2), Blackjack (8/1), Tell'em Nowt (8/1), Mostallim (17/2), Tathmeen (9/1), Oriental Lilly (11/1), Katheefa (18/1), Bakr (22/1), Praise Of Shadows (28/1), Dabirstar (33/1)

It's easy to forgive MOSTALLIM for a rare below-par effort at Southwell last time and he is worth supporting back at 6f. Indeed, the 5-y-o was runner-up on his first crack at this trip in January and has edged back to the mark off which he hit the target at Yarmouth last summer. Ginato and Merry Secret, second and third respectively in a C&D handicap last week, can again fill the places.
