6/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Cool Spirit 6/1, C&D winner. Tailed-off last of 9 to Brandy Station in handicap (7/1) at this C&D 11 days ago, rearing badly and losing all chance start. Not discounted with a repeat of his Lingfield effort previously | |||

2.25/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Louis Treize 2.25/1, Not the most reliable but put it together to end losing run over C&D 11 days ago, travelling strongly and quickening to lead line. Rates a live player back in a handicap with a repeat. | |||

10/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Lorna Cole 10/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 16/5 and visored for 1st time, creditable third of 9 in minor event at Lingfield (5f, AW) 28 days ago, keeping on final 1f. Each-way claims back in a handicap. | |||

4.5/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) San Juan 4.5/1, Three wins from 12 runs last year. 11/2, not disgraced fifth of 8 on yard debut in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 25 days ago, effort flattening out late on. May step up on that and not discounted. | |||
