Bajan Bandit (G)
FAV
Three wins from 19 runs this year. Won 11-runner handicap at this C&D (14/1) 11 days ago, driven out. Remains on an appealing marked nudged up 1 lb and another bold show could be on the way.

Samra Star (M)
C&D winner. Latest win here in October. 16/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at this course (8f) 19 days ago, slowly away. Others make more appeal for win purposes.

Bobby Joe Leg (G)
[B]
Nine-time C&D winner. 40/1, 9¾ lengths last of 11 to Bajan Bandit in handicap at this C&D 11 days ago. Blinkers back on and this 11-y-o looks set for another struggle.

Beelzebub (G)
[T]
C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2024. First run since leaving Daniel & Claire Kubler when below form eighth of 13 in handicap (9/1) at this course (6f) 42 days ago. Tongue strap back on.

Born A Rebel (M)
[T]
Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, pulled up in novice hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, soft, 100/1) on NH debut 21 days ago. Makes tapeta debut.

Macarone (G)
Course winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Last of 9 in handicap (11/2) at this course (5f) 26 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and he's probably a shade too high in the weights for now.

T Eaves | I Furtado | 4 | 59.9 kg |

Jamaican Storm (G)
4/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at this course (8f) 19 days ago. Will need to settle better if he's to make an impact.
