Okeanos^p,t²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: L Morris| T: I Furtado| OR: 62| C

15/8

Won 7-runner handicap (3/1) at this course (7.2f) 21 days ago, always holding on. Up in trip and, with a 3 lb rise for that fair enough, he has to be taken seriously.

Form: 4-72521

(8)

Mudlahhim¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 59| C

16/1

Course winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. 20/1, respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 11 days ago. Back up in trip and looks vulnerable.

Form: 0990-77

(2)

Ricksen²³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Darragh Keenan| T: K Frost| OR: 58

12/1

Last of 8 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D. Off 7 months ahead of this debut for new yard and now has a bit to prove.

Form: 5349/58-

(6)

Inexplicable^t,v⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Mark Winn⁽⁵⁾| T: A Brittain| OR: 53| CD

5/2

Five-time C&D winner. Three wins from 19 runs last year. Creditable second of 12 in handicap at this C&D (4/1) 4 days ago, no match for winner. Likely to be on the premises.

Form: 025392

(5)

Dew You Believe^p⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Theodore Ladd| T: M Appleby| OR: 52| CD

16/1

C&D winner. 9/1, last of 12 in handicap at this C&D 4 days ago, folding. Possibilities if he puts his best foot forward.

Form: 0-02070

(3)

Latent Heat²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Ben Robinson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 52| C

6/1

Temperamental sort. Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, soft, 16/1) 22 days ago. Probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 07008-0

(1)

Arlo's Sunshine¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Liam Wright⁽⁷⁾| T: P Charalambous & J Clutterbuck| OR: 48

10/1

Three wins from 16 runs last year. 20/1, improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at Yarmouth (8f, heavy) 14 days ago. Not taken lightly up just 2 lb.

Form: 9695-81

(4)

Capla Knight¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Josephine Gordon| T: P S McEntee| OR: 45

10/1

Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. Tongue strap on for 1st time, ninth of 12 in handicap (18/1) at Dundalk (8f) 18 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Muredach Kelly and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 835-009

Forecasts

Okeanos (15/8), Inexplicable (5/2), Latent Heat (6/1), Arlo's Sunshine (10/1), Capla Knight (10/1), Ricksen (12/1), Mudlahhim (16/1), Dew You Believe (16/1)

OKEANOS appears to be going the right way judged on his breakthrough success in first-time cheekpieces here 3 weeks ago and, with the step back up to this trip likely to be in his favour, the 4-y-o is taken to strike again. Next on the list is Arlo's Sunshine, who returned to form when scoring on his second start for this yard at Yarmouth and remains on a workable mark. Inexplicable is best of the rest.
