4/1
Back to form with 3 places in last 5 starts. Ran well without headgear when 2nd of 8 at this course (9/4) 16 days ago, leading before being headed in final 100 yards. Long losing run a concern but recent performances have been more encouraging.

2/1
Strong recent form, runner-up in 3 of last 4 races on AW. Second of 12 in handicap at this C&D (4/1) 21 days ago, running well from rear and suited by the end-to-end gallop. Cheekpieces removed and has solid claims to record a second C&D victory.

Has two course and distance wins but finished 11th of 12 at Wolverhampton (33/1) 23 days ago when hampered over 1f out after slow start. Needs a cleaner break but could be worth another chance returning to this C&D.

9/5
Runner-up at this course in March, finished fourth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford (5/1) 18 days ago when running respectably despite being left with plenty to do. Without a win in 16 races but making stable debut today and should be competitive at this level.

100/1
Showed little for new connections, came last of 10 in AW handicap at Wolverhampton (28/1) 16 days ago, struggling badly in first-time headgear. Tackles significant step up in trip with cheekpieces removed but needs to improve.

9/1
Successful at Les Landes with a win 78 days ago after 3 previous placed efforts. Fourth of 14 in a handicap at Brighton (50/1) 11 days ago, chasing leaders and plugging on in the closing stages. Has shown ability to handle this longer trip previously and should give his running again.

Modest maiden handicap performer had shaped a bit better than the result in previous runs but finished eighth of 13 at Chelmsford City (5/1) 11 days ago, her good form came to a halt. Could bounce back but does have stamina to prove over this longer trip.

Maiden bounced back from a poor run when fifth of 8 at Chelmsford City (16/1) 18 days ago, wasn't disgraced under change of tactics after 8 weeks off. Will need to build on that with first-time cheekpieces applied.

Previous C&D winner AMBER HONEY has been knocking on the door with three runner-up finishes in her last four all-weather starts, including here 21 days ago and this consistent filly can go one better. Of the rest, Boujee Gold could be worth another chance back over this trip, while Night Arc has run well here and merits respect on stable debut.
