C&D winner. Below form fifth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (soft, 9/1). Off 155 days. Wouldn't be without a chance if he were to put his best foot forward.

Fifth of 8 in handicap (7/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 7 days ago, finishing with running left. Cheekpieces on 1st time and this 4-y-o is an each-way player.

13/2
Three-time C&D winner. Thirteenth of 14 in handicap (22/1) at Newbury (8f, good to firm) when last seen 7 months ago. His record when fresh suggests that this may not be the day to lend him support.

C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in November. Last of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 18/1) 27 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and could have a say if bouncing back.

4/1
Eleven runs since last win in 2024. 66/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 24 days ago, having run of race. Place possibilities if able to build on that returned to a venue where she has performed well on both previous visits.

Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 20/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) on final run of 2024. Gelded since and he's on a good mark if on-song following a break.

9/2, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Limerick (8f, good to firm), well positioned. Off 9 months ahead of this debut for new yard and likel to find one or two too good.

Latest win at Kempton in January. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap (11/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 47 days ago. Visor back on and not without each-way hope back on turf.

Forecasts

Darvel (7/2), Soi Dao (4/1), King Of Speed (6/1), Villalobos (6/1), Monks Mead (6/1), My Ambition (13/2), Johnjay (8/1), That's For Sure (9/1), Outrace (20/1), Alyara (20/1), Too Much Trevor (33/1), Expecto (40/1), Admiral Fitz (50/1), Baynoona (66/1)

Verdict

A chance is taken on MONKS MEAD, who ended last year on a low-key note but his four previous visits to this track have all resulted in good efforts and he resumes from a break on an attractive mark. Soi Dao has also performed with credit in two runs here and, having returned to form when fourth over 9.5f at Wolverhampton last time, she will be a threat, particularly if allowed her own way out in front. King of Speed also has claims, while Outrace is capable of playing a part if on-song.
