Kiwano²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock| OR: 94| CD

10/3

Won 11-runner event at Kempton in January before improving further to land 3-runner handicap at this C&D (AW, 4/1) 21 days ago by ½ length from Tone The Barone, albeit having run of race. Likeable sort should give another good account.

Form: 684-151

Age: 7| Weight: 8-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: D Steele| OR: 71| CD

100/1

3-time C&D winner. Four wins from 17 runs last year. Down the field last 2 starts and is tough to fancy from nearly a stone out of the weights.

Forecasts

Badri (7/4), Tone The Barone (5/2), Kiwano (10/3), Navello (8/1), Live In The Dream (12/1), Arecibo (16/1), The Defiant (100/1)

BADRI has been a cosy winner at Newcastle on his last 2 outings and now has the benefit of the excellent Billy Loughnane aboard, so he's fancied to complete the hat-trick. Tone The Barone finished behind Kiwano over C&D last time and that pair are both respect again, with a bigger field perhaps likelier to help the former turn the tables this time.
