Rebel Empire^t⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Joe Leavy⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 82| D

9/1

Successful twice at the end of last year and better than ever when also winning 9-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 20/1) 53 days ago. Respected as he drops back down in grade, though wide draw isn't ideal.

Form: 8121-61

(5)

Shallow¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: George Wood| T: R Spencer| OR: 79| CD

9/2

Took her record to 4 wins from 7 career starts when making all in 8-runner handicap (11/4) at this C&D 2 weeks ago by short head from Supreme King, digging deep. Not taken lightly in her hat-trick bid.

Form: 1156-11

(2)

Supreme King¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: P D Evans| OR: 78| D

16/5

Returned to winning ways at Lingfield in December and ran at least as well when short-head second of 8 to Shallow in handicap (12/1) at this C&D a fortnight ago, despite having not been ideally placed. Major player.

Form: 6714-62

(3)

Abbey Heights²⁶⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: D Egan| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 78| D

5/2

Won at Nottingham on second of only 3 starts last year. Wasn't seen to best effect when seventh of 12 in handicap at Newbury (6f, good to firm, 9/2) when last seen in June, so he's worth a market check on return.

Form: 416/017-

(8)

Perennial^h,t⁶¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 76

25/1

Made a winning debut when trained by Ed Walker. Shaped well on first start for new yard at Chelmsford in December, before left poorly placed when tenth of 12 in handicap (28/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 61 days ago. Could fare better.

Form: 1535-0

(4)

Dashing Harry¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: A J Farragher| T: James Horton| OR: 75| CD

14/1

C&D winner who bounced back to form when scoring at Lingfield in February. However, lesser efforts both starts since, last of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f, 15/2) 11 days ago. Capable if on a going day.

Form: 6-76147

(7)

Ultramarine⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: George Downing| T: P D Evans| OR: 74| C| D

16/1

Won 3 times last year, including twice at this course (both at 7f). Having had excuses on penultimate start, quickly back on track when third of 9 in handicap here (7f, 15/2) a week ago and he could be in the mix.

Form: 276-353

(6)

Grenham Bay^b¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Watson| T: A M Balding| OR: 74| BF| CD

9/1

Four-time C&D winner, with latest success here at the beginning of last month. Below form when 3¼ lengths sixth of 8 to Shallow in handicap (5/2) also at this venue 2 weeks ago, but no surprise to see him bounce back.

Form: 651-316

(9)

Nogo's Dream⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 72

10/1

Made the frame once more but extended his long losing run when fourth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, 10/3) 46 days ago, getting going too late. Can give his running but more needed as he goes back up in trip.

Form: 244-224

(11)

Dark Dreamer¹⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M Murphy| OR: 71| CD

66/1

Won at this C&D and Nottingham last year but form went the wrong way subsequently, in first-time cheekpieces when last of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 25/1) in October. First run since leaving Robert Cowell.

Form: 241080-

Four Adaay¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-8| J: Saffie Osborne| T: B R Millman| OR: 65| CD

40/1

C&D winner who got her head back in front at Sandown in September. After 11 weeks off, below form when eighth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, 16/1) 17 days ago, so needs to take a big step forward from her recent run.

Form: 13756-8

Forecasts

Abbey Heights (5/2), Supreme King (16/5), Shallow (9/2), Grenham Bay (9/1), Rebel Empire (9/1), Nogo's Dream (10/1), Dashing Harry (14/1), Ultramarine (16/1), Perennial (25/1), Four Adaay (40/1), Dark Dreamer (66/1)

SUPREME KING ran up to his best when narrowly denied at this C&D 2 weeks ago, coming from a lot further back than the winner, so he could be ready to open his account for the year. He is taken to reverse the placings with Shallow from when the pair met last time, while Ultramarine helps to give David Evans a strong hand.
