Verdict

DREAM COMPOSER made a successful stable debut at Ripon after six months off and, returning to this C&D where he's won before, he looks well treated despite a 5 lb rise and can follow up. Roach Power was caught wide from the worst of the draw at Chester last time and is capable of much better, while Seven Questions is now below his last winning mark.

8	Exploited handy mark when winning 5f handicap at Ripon 27 days ago on return/stable debut. 5 lb rise looks well within his capabilities and he's in the right hands to pick up more races this year. Has won races at this track before and looks sure to go well with fully-fledged rider back aboard. 1st Pick 8 Dream Composer (Fr) Jockey: Dougie Costello Trainer: Tony Carroll J: Dougie Costello T: Tony Carroll	100	-	-	-	19%

7	Thrived when winning 5 times at 5f in 2025, including at Newmarket in October. Not seen to best effect either start so far this year and the handicapper is already beginning to relent so he's certainly not one to write off. 2nd Pick 7 Roach Power (Ire) Jockey: John Egan Trainer: Michael Wigham J: John Egan T: Michael Wigham	99	-	-	-	12%

5	Good third of 13 at Pontefract in April after 7 months off. Not really kicked on since, though was pestered up front when fourth of 10 at Chester 15 days ago and he's now below the mark of his only win in handicap company so could well be in the mix. 3rd Pick 5 Seven Questions (Ire) Jockey: Jamie Spencer Trainer: Robert Cowell J: Jamie Spencer T: Robert Cowell	98	-	-	-	25%
