Dembe³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Paddy Bradley⁽³⁾| T: B R Johnson| OR: 80| C| D

14/1

Course winner. 16/1, seventh of 14 in handicap at this C&D 35 days ago, late headway. Could fare better having now dropped below his last winning mark.

Form: 226087

Tahitian Prince^p³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 79| CD

11/2

Three-time C&D winner. 11/2, not discredited when fifth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 35 days ago, looking worth a try over a further. Lurks on a dangerous mark.

Form: 740-575

(8)

Sandy Paradise^p²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Ethan Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 76| CD

8/1

Returned to all-weather and soon back to form when winning 12-runner handicap (15/2) at this course (7f) 21 days ago, well on top finish. Leading contender.

George Morland^p²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Mr Taylor Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 76| C| D

33/1

Failed to come on for recent run when last of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm, 17/2) 20 days ago. Needs to step up on what he's shown so far this year with cheekpieces now reapplied.

Form: 7-90067

(7)

Dance At Night²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: David Probert| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 70| C

66/1

Fairly useful performer on Flat for Andrew Balding, winning here (7f) early last year. Has raced only over hurdles for current yard, falling in handicap at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft, 22/1) 22 days ago.

Form: 4/17433-

(3)

Whitcombe Rockstar^t1²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Josephine Gordon| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 69

40/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, well-beaten seventh of 12 in maiden at Chepstow (10f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Much more needed as he goes handicapping with tongue strap on 1st time.

Form: 4-07

(5)

Garrick Painter¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: T Ward| OR: 78| CD

10/3

Opened account at this C&D in February. Not in the same form in handicaps both starts since, fourth of 10 at Southwell (8.1f, 13/2) 15 days ago. However, could get back on track returned to this venue.

Form: 32-184

(2)

Oliver Show^t1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 76

3/1

Ran to similar level as previous outing when fourth of 14 in minor event (15/2) at this course (7f) 21 days ago, though carried head awkwardly. Tongue strap on 1st time as he makes handicap debut.

Form: 7-44

(4)

Molly Valentine²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jefferson Smith| T: D K Ivory| OR: 74| D

9/2

Much improved when off the mark at Nottingham in April and backed up that effort when third of 11 in handicap (18/1) at this C&D 21 days ago. Can give another good account.

Form: 81-5613

(9)

Bauhinia Rhapsody²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Tom Marquand| T: E Walker| OR: 72

8/1

After further 8 weeks off, never a threat when ninth of 11 on handicap debut at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) 25 days ago. Could still have more to offer back on all-weather (placed over C&D last year).

Form: 923-09

Forecasts

Oliver Show (3/1), Garrick Painter (10/3), Molly Valentine (9/2), Tahitian Prince (11/2), Sandy Paradise (8/1), Bauhinia Rhapsody (8/1), Dembe (14/1), George Morland (33/1), Whitcombe Rockstar (40/1), Dance At Night (66/1)

Returned to the all-weather, SANDY PARADISE was well on top at the finish when recording a third course success here (first at 7f) 3 weeks ago and he can score again back up in trip. Garrick Painter won easily at this C&D in February and is feared most back at this venue, with Molly Valentine completing the shortlist.
