Infrequent winner but he has returned to Mick Appleby off a lowly mark and he ran well for third in an amateurs' event at Southwell last week (6f); 0-14 on AW but returning to 5f shouldn't be a problem; one to take seriously.

Comes here in good form, following last month's Lingfield win with two solid efforts, notably when chasing home a heavily backed and impressive winner at Southwell; this is a much lower grade and he has to be very high on the list.

Seven AW wins have come elsewhere but he has often run well over C&D and did so again when only narrowly failing to end a losing run here on Saturday; had no problem with returning to 5f for the first time in over a year and a likely candidate.

Has modest 2-34 strike-rate but one win was gained over this C&D, and she didn't get the best of runs before keeping on well for close third in this grade at Musselburgh (5f, good) three weeks ago; more appealing than most.

Lightly raced 3yo who has shown some promise in two C&D handicaps after a long absence, more recently coming very wide in the straight when fourth behind a stablemate; could do with settling better but he still has some untapped potential and that doesn't apply to many of his rivals.

Verdict

Some in-form sprinters are on show. Mr Funky Monkey has shown more than enough to think a race like this could fall his way but there may be easier pickings in the weeks ahead. Mehmo, Mimoset (second choice) and Embla all enter calculations but MAN ON A MISSION (nap) comes here in good form and can confirm the merit of his latest Southwell second now he’s back down in grade.[Paul Smith]
