Maharajas Express^p¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Jack Jones| OR: 68| D

15/8

Dropped to 5f on second start for his current yard, returned to winning ways in 8-runner handicap (7/2) at Wolverhampton 12 days ago. Remains unexposed at this trip so he could be capable of better still.

Boom The Groom⁵⁶

Age: 12| Weight: 9-8| J: C Lee| T: A W Carroll| OR: 67| CD

18/1

Three wins from 11 runs this year. Soon back to form when making all in 7-runner handicap (8/1) at this C&D (AW) 56 days ago. Retains all his old enthusiasm and he can make another bold bid.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: K Shoemark| T: C Allen| OR: 65| CD

17/2

Glamorous Express^t⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 64| C| D

11/2

Making only his second start on all-weather, left behind a lesser effort when winning 5-runner handicap at this course (6f, AW, 7/2) 56 days ago. Can follow up with the potential for more still to come on this surface.

Pablo Del Pueblo⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Georgia Dobie⁽³⁾| T: S Dow| OR: 62| CD

9/1

C&D winner. Not discredited from widest draw when fourth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 14/1) 8 days ago. Lurks on a dangerous mark if able to build on his latest effort.

Nordic Glory⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: R Havlin| T: M J Attwater| OR: 58| CD

9/1

All 5 career wins at this course, with latest over C&D in October. Below-form ninth of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 9 days ago, so bounce back called for returned to this venue.

Man On A Mission^p¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: P Charalambous & J Clutterbuck| OR: 58| CD

15/2

Won twice at this C&D in January. Confirmed return to form when second of 11 in handicap (10/3) at Southwell (5f) 10 days ago. Can give another good account in his current mood.

Forecasts

Maharajas Express (15/8), Bang On The Bell (4/1), Glamorous Express (11/2), Man On A Mission (15/2), Mick's Spirit (17/2), Pablo Del Pueblo (9/1), Nordic Glory (9/1), Boom The Groom (18/1)

GLAMOROUS EXPRESS made his second start on all-weather a winning one when successful at this course last time, overcoming trouble inside the final 1f, and he can score again with more still to offer on this surface. Maharajas Express got back to winning ways having a first try at 5f on his latest outing and is feared most, ahead of Bang On The Bell.
