With a wealth of experience over fences, this 8-year-old is a two-time winner at this C&D and is currently 1 lb lighter than his last victory in March the previous year. After a commendable third-place finish at Market Rasen 26 days ago, he should be poised for a strong performance. He is worthy of respect at this course, which clearly suits his style, and offers fantastic value for an each-way bet.

This 5-year-old triumphed over 1m in November. Again over 1m, he achieved a commendable 4th in a handicap at this venue two weeks ago. Although 3 lbs above his previous winning mark, he has the potential to assert himself if he can take the lead unchallenged. The odds are favourable.

Achieved victory at this C&D in August, yet was placed 9th in a handicap at Wolverhampton 56 days ago due to interference. She should make a strong comeback at a venue where her record shows 2, 1, 3. A fantastic each-way opportunity at 16/1.

A five-time victor at this C&D, and triumphed at Wolverhampton 91 days ago. Highly regarded as he drops in grade. Assuming he manages to settle better than he did last week, when he finished last of nine here in the handicap after pulling too hard and fading. He has obvious potential to perform better when he settles properly, so each-way looks worthwhile at 12/1.

This 3 showed more potential than the final position suggests, coming 5th in a bumper at Wetherby during his NH debut 16 days ago, where he led from 1 mile out to 1 furlong from the finish over 2 miles. With skilled jockey Lee Edwards taking the reins, expect significant improvement, and the odds of 26/1 present fantastic value.

A bit of a specialist at this C&D and has a solid record on AW. She finished last of eight in a handicap at Lingfield 20 days ago, but after a six-month break she will have needed that run. She will be more prepared now, and the conditions look perfect. She has drawn stall 1 and is a definite contender as she returns to a venue where she has thrived, offering excellent value for an each-way bet at 9/1.

A twice-raced maiden. He finished 4th in a novice race at Newcastle just 20 days ago. Now facing a longer distance, he needs considerable improvement. Yet I find the odds of 100/1 for an each-way wager appealing. With a skilled jockey who has a beneficial 5 lb claim, this 4-year-old could surprise.

A four-time winner on this course. He has run eleven times since his last victory in 2024. Just three days ago, he finished 11th in a handicap at Southwell. He demonstrated some flair in June, but recent outcomes have not been favourable. The trainer and jockey are both in good shape, and this 7-year-old clearly has talent. If he can find his stride, the appealing odds for an each-way bet could lead to a substantial profit.
