Atomic Force (G)
Has won 5 times but not since 2024, shaping as if better for the run after 10 weeks off when last of 7 in handicap at Southwell (7/2) 18 days ago.

Michaela's Boy (G)
Returned to former trainer from Adrian McGuinness and ran poorly on first start back. However, left that well behind when landing a gamble down in grade over C&D (5/2) 19 days ago, wearing down stablemate in final 1f. Up 5lb but remains fe…

The Thames Boatman (G)
FAV
[H]
Won 3 times at this C&D and had 7 runner-up finishes last year before breathing operation. Got his head back in front in 5-runner handicap over C&D (4/1) 21 days ago, knuckling down well to edge out rival in final furlong. Seems likely to …

Star Chorus (G)
[T]
Proved better than ever when landing first success for current yard in 5f handicap at Southwell (5/2) 14 days ago. Sure to remain competitive providing he doesn't lose too much ground at the start.

Twilight Jet (G)
Hasn't won in 20 starts and again ran below form when last of 5 in handicap at this C&D (15/2) 21 days ago, left behind from home turn. Others appeal more.

William Cox | J & S Best | 7 | 59.9 kg |

Master Of My Fate (G)
Hasn't won since last June but was denied only by a determined rival in 6-runner handicap at Southwell (7/1) 14 days ago. Sure to bang there with a repeat.

Diomed Spirit (G)
2-time C&D winner who gave her running when third of 7 in handicap here (18/5) 19 days ago, despite racing freely. Ought to remain competitive.

Gogo Yubari (M)
Five-time C&D winner who completed hat-trick in the space of 5 days earlier in the month but seemed to find a busy schedule and a rising mark catching up with her last time. Bounce back required.
