| 3rd | 1 | 7 |
Gustav Graves (G)
C&D winner but does most of his racing at Wolverhampton. Seems in reasonable form but needs things to drop right given his hold-up style.

| 4th | 2 | 1 |
Let's Go Hugo (G)
C&D winner in September and only just failed to follow up here following week. Below par at Southwell when last seen in October and entitled to need this.

Azucena (M)
[B]
Capitalised on a reduced mark to record a third C&D success in January. Solid efforts in defeat subsequently and should remain competitive.

Master Dandy (G)
[BT]
Arrives in good form with 2 wins from last 3 starts (just denied the other time), edging ahead close home at Chelmsford 6 weeks ago. Needs considering.

Running Cool (G)
Little impact for Tim Easterby but took a big step back in the right direction when second at Wolverhampton on debut for this yard in September. No show back there on comeback run 16 days ago but entitled to be sharper now.

962-058 | O McSweeney | A Keatley | 6 | 59.9 kg |

Fortunate Star (G)
FAV
[V]
Capitalised on drop into classified company at Southwell and followed up in similar event over C&D on Friday. Back in a handicap now but he looks on a fair mark despite his penalty.

Okami (G)
Recorded a second C&D win in January but just respectable efforts in defeat next 2 starts. Eased 1 lb.

Little Mi Mi (M)
Gained reward for consistent spell when winning 12-runner handicap over C&D on New Year's Day. Too keen for her own good following week but type to bounce back.
