Verdict: BLUE BLOOD COWBOY has an obvious shout. He bids for a second C&D success and takes the eye from a recent form perspective. Weekend Retreat rates the main danger.

Weekend Retreat

Age/Wt: 4/8-7 F: 642543

9/4

Comment: Been a while since he managed only win; split a number of these rivals in a claimer two months ago when beaten 10l (third of seven) upped to this distance; jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful and could have a say.

Comment: Emphatic scorer when off the mark last week (sloppy track) in a maiden claimer; seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice; should have every chance as peak figure in the past year is the best in the field.
