Form & Verdict
Made no mistake on second start for new connections when seeing off the reopposing Stroxx by 1l in a C&D classified race under Billy Loughnane last month; looked a bit awkward under pressure when beaten at odds-on at Lingfield since (reopposing Starshot ahead of him) but still no surprise were he to resume his progress back here.

Dash Gordon

9st 1lb

J: Rob Hornby

T: Joe Ponting

Dual 5f Tapeta winner who achieved little in three runs over 6f-7f for Michael Appleby; has been inclined to hang left more than once and is some way down the pecking order for his new yard, having been picked up for just 1,000gns.

OR: 54

Form & Verdict
Won three times in the first half of last year, including twice over C&D; didn't threaten in two comeback runs at Wolverhampton last month (met trouble first occasion) but back on a good mark if a return to Southwell sparks a revival.

Sir Benedict

8st 11lb

J: Billy Garritty

T: Ben Haslam

Seven-time winner; style of racing leaves him a hostage to fortune and he has met trouble in two of his three runs for Ben Haslam; has the ability to win at this level and stall 1, while not optimal, should at least keep him clear of some of the traffic.

J: Joanna Mason

T: Ben Haslam

Seven-time winner with bucketloads of placed efforts to his name; both runs for this yard have been respectable and the return of cheekpieces is a definite plus.

Form & Verdict
26-race maiden but he had Dash Gordon nearly 2l back in third when second at Lingfield 13 days ago on what was a belated first attempt over 5f; unlikely to be far away if in similar form.

Starshot

9st 1lb

J: Cian Horgan

T: Lawrence Mullaney

Just one win from 43 starts but he's reached the frame on AW at Southwell (1m/7f) in his last two runs; usually comes from off the pace and has claims if he transfers his recent form back to turf.

One win from 42 starts but he's posted some good placed efforts this year, including when third of ten here over 1m eight days ago; drops back in trip with place claims but he may prove vulnerable from a win perspective.

1-41; back-to-back good runs under Sean Kirrane in March but gave himself no chance of troubling the judge last week by failing to settle; usual tongue-tie returns.

Chased home Dash Gordon in a C&D classified race before making no mistake in a similar event at Newcastle (5f again) eight days later; another creditable run when third in handicap back at Newcastle since; should go well.

Knocking on and been patchy since returning from a break, finishing well behind Kipp Kelly at Wolverhampton, then behind Desert Master here six days ago; others are more likely.

Welcome signs of a revival when third over C&D in January but failed to fire at Wolverhampton three weeks ago (drawn wide); not a solid option.
