Selected odds by:

(4)

Fairmac^b¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: F Norton| T: C Johnston| OR: 80

15/2

Capitalised on falling mark to land 14-runner handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, soft, 11/1) 14 days ago by 2½ lengths from Ravenscraig Castle, pushed out. Merits consideration from 4 lb higher mark.

Form: 723-401

(5)

Ravenscraig Castle¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 80| D

5/1

Useful sort at his best and ran creditably when 2½ lengths second of 14 to Fairmac in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, soft, 11/1) 14 days ago. Remains potentially well-treated from same mark.

Form: 54960-2

(6)

Geremia⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 80

9/2

Habitual slow starter who has gone sixteen runs since last win in 2021. Nevertheless, he shaped well from an unpromising position when fourth of 16 in handicap at Newmarket (14f, soft) last week and would be in the mix if replicating that effort.

Form: 60053-4

(2)

Heights Of Abraham¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: S A Gray| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 79

16/1

Close second in 15-runner handicap at Ayr Western meeting on final start in 2022 and shaped as if needing the run when well held at Musselburgh (12.5f, soft) 14 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Not discounted.

Form: 09762-0

(11)

Haizoom⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: S H James| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 77| CD

11/1

Won this race last season and generally held her form well later in the season. Little bit below her best when sixth of 10 in handicap (7/1) at this C&D (good) last week but wouldn't be one to dismiss fully despite high draw.

Form: 5926-46

(12)

Mister Camacho³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 75

13/2

Belatedly got off the mark in impressive fashion when scoring by 7½ lengths in 6-runner event (6/4) at Catterick (13.9f, heavy) 32 days ago. Versatile ground-wise and shouldn't be discounted from following up here despite wide draw and 7 lb rise.

Form: 3624-31

(8)

Dundory^p¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Planas⁽⁵⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 75

18/1

Aided by this good-value claimer when winning 14-runner handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, soft, 7/1) 15 days ago. That effort represented a career best and he's another who could prove competitive.

Form: 4-49551

(9)

World Without Love¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 74

25/1

Won at Wolverhampton in November but looked a tricky ride when third of 8 in handicap (10/3) at Chelmsford City (14f) 17 days ago. Bit more needed from this mark.

Form: 6215-23

(7)

Captain Haddock⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Loughnane⁽³⁾| T: H Main| OR: 70| CD

7/2

Fourteen runs since last win in 2021 but he ran well to finish ½-length second of 12 to Clansman at Doncaster (11.9f, heavy) 42 days ago. 9 lb lower than when close second in this race last year and has leading apprentice booked.

Form: 96723-2

(3)

Buxted Reel³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: B A Curtis| T: Ian Williams| OR: 70

33/1

Possibly needed the run when last of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 14/1) 34 days ago on return but this is better company than he usually keeps and he must improve.

Form: 31624-6

(1)

Clansman⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Billy Garritty| T: L Bailey| OR: 68| BF| D

9/1

Found improvement when winning 12-runner handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, heavy) on return and acquitted himself well on quicker ground than ideal when third here last week. Solid place claims.

Form: 5761-13

(10)

Two Auld Pals⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Cam Hardie| T: J S Goldie| OR: 64

80/1

Third behind Clansman at Ayr on his final outing in 2022 but shaped as if amiss on return here last week. Stiff task if he's to get off the mark in this company.

Form: 35573-6

Forecasts

Captain Haddock (7/2), Geremia (9/2), Ravenscraig Castle (5/1), Mister Camacho (13/2), Fairmac (15/2), Clansman (9/1), Haizoom (11/1), Heights Of Abraham (16/1), Dundory (18/1), World Without Love (25/1), Buxted Reel (33/1), Two Auld Pals (80/1)

A highly-competitive staying handicap, in which last year's runner-up CAPTAIN HADDOCK can go one better after an encouraging return at Doncaster. He has a previous C&D win to his name and still remains well treated on last season's best form, so gets the nod ahead of recent Musselburgh 1-2 Fairmac and Ravenscraig Castle in a race where cases can be made for most.
