9/1
C&D winner. 12/1, good ¾-length second of 11 to Zulu Zander in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 20 days ago. No reason why he won't give another good account on that evidence.

8/1
25/1, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 20 days ago by ¾ length from Dazzling Des. 4 lb higher mark makes things tougher, however.

8/1
6/1, won 9-runner handicap at this C&D (AW) 22 days ago. Only 2 lb higher on the back of that and not ruled out given he's largely proved a model of consistency this winter.

Forecasts

Raasel (6/4), Shamshon (7/2), Saaheq (15/2), Zulu Zander (8/1), Capla Spirit (8/1), Dazzling Des (9/1), The Daley Express (18/1), Stake Acclaim (28/1)

Verdict

Acquired from Marcus Tregoning's yard last winter, RAASEL confirmed he retains all his ability when runner-up in a Chelmsford novice 4 weeks ago, headed late on but seeing off the rest comfortably. He may well do better now handicapping and earns the vote to go one place better. Capla Spirit, who scored over C&D recently, should go well again and, along with Saaheq and Shamshon, heads the dangers.

  1. RAASEL
  2. CAPLA SPIRIT
  3. SAAHEQ
