8/1

C&D winner. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (16/1) 4 days ago, never nearer. In the picture.

Form: 34239-5

Pop Favorite^b¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 52| CD

11/1

4-time C&D winner but only ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 7/1) 13 days ago, slowly away. Needs to get back on track.

Pallas Lord^t⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: P J McDonald| T: D W Whillans| OR: 52| CD

7/4

C&D winner. Good second of 8 in handicap at this C&D (7/2) 4 days ago. Not taken lightly off an unchanged mark.

(9)

Coligone Kate³⁰⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 46

13/2

Remains a maiden and off 10 months since posting a solid third in 10f minor event here on her final run for Ollie Pears. Handily weighted though starting out for excellent yard so she merits serious consideration, especially if the market vibes are positive.

Form: 90/0653-

Royal Design^t⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Grace McEntee⁽³⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 45

80/1

Eighth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 80/1) 60 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Easy to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Pallas Lord (7/4), Odd Socks Havana (9/2), Struck Gold (6/1), Coligone Kate (13/2), Little Ted (7/1), Reclaim Victory (8/1), Pop Favorite (11/1), Roman Princess (66/1), Royal Design (80/1)

A tight-knit handicap so at the likely odds it is worth siding with COLIGONE KATE to capitalise on a lenient-looking mark on her debut for the shrewd Julie Camacho team. Pallas Lord is another weighted to have a big say and is next on the list ahead of fellow C&D scorer Reclaim Victory.
