Reigning Profit^p⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 77| CD

4/1

C&D winner who quickly dispelled a lesser effort when finishing creditable second of 13 in handicap (16/1) at Thirsk (5f, soft) 9 days ago. One to consider for all he's yet to defy a mark this high.

Form: 277402

Jojo Rabbit^p²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: L Morris| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 76| CD

10/3

Notched up a fourth C&D victory back from 5 months off in April and best not judged too harshly on his subsequent run when tenth at Epsom (5f) having been short of room late on. Better showing anticipated.

Form: 7531-10

(8)

Pop Dancer^p²³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: S De Sousa| T: A W Carroll| OR: 74| CD

16/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in November. Last of 7 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good, 18/1) 23 days ago. Bounce back called for.

Form: 15-2697

(4)

Dark Kestrel^t³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Mark Winn⁽³⁾| T: A Brittain| OR: 72

9/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Ninth of 12 in handicap (33/1) at Ripon (5f, good to firm) 3 days ago, very slowly away. His starting has to be a concern again here.

Form: 320029

(9)

Level Up¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Alexandra McDonnell⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 70| CD

33/1

C&D winner. Ninth of 13 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, soft, 14/1) 15 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Gustav Graves¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: D Shaw| OR: 70| CD

15/2

4-time C&D winner. 4 wins from 11 runs this year. Latest win at Newcastle in March. 14/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 11 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 117765

(5)

Barney's Bay¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Faye McManoman| T: D Shaw| OR: 67

66/1

First run since leaving Tim Easterby when last of 6 in handicap at Wetherby (5.5f, soft, 33/1) 15 days ago, dropping away quickly. That was his first start for 10 months but he can only be watched here.

Form: 55139-6

(10)

Catch Cunningham^h1¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: T Eaves| T: M Herrington| OR: 67| D

18/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 12 in handicap (13/2) at Newcastle (5f) 17 days ago. Hood on 1st time and return to more positive tactics may well help here. Not out of things from a steadily easing mark.

Form: 648-358

(2)

Aces Wild¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: David Probert| T: A Wintle| OR: 64| CD

7/2

Back to very best when registering back-to-back C&D victories this spring. Easy to back and never figured on turf debut at Bath (5.7f) 2 weeks ago but return to this track/trip both positives and better expected from handy draw.

Form: 872110

(7)

Murbih^b¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: A Brittain| OR: 55| CD

22/1

C&D winner. Twenty three runs since last win in 2023. Seventh of 8 in handicap (28/1) at Catterick (5f, good) 13 days ago. Best watched at present.

Form: 8-86057

Forecasts

Jojo Rabbit (10/3), Aces Wild (7/2), Reigning Profit (4/1), Dark Kestrel (9/2), Gustav Graves (15/2), Pop Dancer (16/1), Catch Cunningham (18/1), Murbih (22/1), Level Up (33/1), Barney's Bay (66/1)

A dual winner over C&D this spring, ACES WILD is probably best not judged too harshly on his turf debut run at Bath 2 weeks ago and, with the return to this track/trip both positives, it would come as no surprise to see him bounce back. Catch Cunningham is lurking on a handy mark and needs considering despite a wide draw. The Ruth Carr-trained pair, Reigning Profit and Jojo Rabbit, also need factoring in.
