Triple AW winner last winter (including one over C&D) but form has an uneven look since; below best over C&D last time but usual cheekpieces now replaced by first-time visor.

Improved effort when keeping on well to land a 1m handicap at Chepstow two weeks ago (good); 5lb rise doesn't look punitive and he still has more to come; key player.

J: Hollie Doyle

T: Denis Coakley

Three-time C&D winner (firm/good) who scored at Lingfield (1m, AW) last September and was runner-up there (1m, AW) last month on his reappearance; has the same mark as last time and he ticks lots of boxes.

13/8

Verdict

Most of these come with risks attached but the Charltons’ lightly raced 3yo MAOKAI really got his act together with a convincing win at Chepstow last month. He has a 5lb rise to deal with but is open to more progress and gets the vote in his bid to make it 2-2 in handicaps. Naasma finished well to go close on her handicap/stable debut at Epsom last month and she’s feared most on her step back up in trip. Others who could be in the mix are Shabano and Lelabad.[David Moon]
