We Still Believe¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: P Mulrennan| T: D Bourke| OR: 60| CD

11/1

C&D winner. Creditable second of 7 in handicap at this C&D (22/1) 19 days ago, left poorly placed. Others make more appeal for win purposes on this occasion.

Form: 3156-02

Skilled Warrior¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Harrison Shaw| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 59| C

15/2

Course winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2023. Sixth of 8 in handicap (7/2) at this course (8f) 19 days ago. Back up in trip and would have a chance if able to get back on track.

Form: 7000-26

Life On The Rocks^v¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 54| D

2/1

Four wins from 17 runs last year. Good third of 11 in handicap (7/2) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 14 days ago, left poorly placed. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 06-9873

Calcutta Dream^h²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 51| CD

6/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in January. Fifth of 8 in handicap at this course (8f, 7/2) 24 days ago. Back up in trip and shouldn't be too far away.

Form: 869-415

(7)

Violeta¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: A Mullen| T: B Haslam| OR: 50| CD

5/1

Didn't need to improve to win 7-runner minor event at this C&D (7/1) 12 days ago by head from Eva Rosie. Enters calculations.

Form: 5154-71

(6)

Eva Rosie^p¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Jason Hart| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 49| BF| CD

5/1

C&D winner in January. 9/4, good head second of 7 to Violeta in minor event at this C&D 12 days ago. 1 lb better off with that rival now and she should give another good account.

Form: 8-76152

(3)

Rampant^v1¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁵⁾| T: P Morris| OR: 48

10/1

Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 7/2, creditable 2 lengths third of 7 to Violeta in minor event at this C&D 12 days ago. Hopes pinned on the first-time visor helping to eke out some improvement.

Form: 4034-43

(2)

Mr Coco Bean^p¹²

Age: 11| Weight: 8-9| J: J P Sullivan| T: Helen Cuthbert| OR: 45| D

50/1

Fifty two runs since last win in 2021. 50/1, good second of 6 in minor event at this C&D 12 days ago but whether he will be in the same form is debatable.

Form: 6-78502

Forecasts

Life On The Rocks (2/1), Eva Rosie (5/1), Violeta (5/1), Calcutta Dream (6/1), Skilled Warrior (15/2), Rampant (10/1), We Still Believe (11/1), Mr Coco Bean (50/1)

LIFE ON THE ROCKS stopped the slide dropped to this 0-60 grade for the first time in a while a fortnight ago at Wolverhampton where he did well to finish as close as he did. The 7-y-o holds strong claims off the same mark here. Recent C&D 1-2 Violeta and Eva Rosie should both be in the mix once more, while a can also be made for Skilled Warrior.
