Form & Verdict
Well backed when running out the easy winner of a Class 6 event over C&D last month; not quite as good at Southwell the following week but he was back in the groove with a Nottingham success on Sunday, finding plenty against the stands' rail; drawn widest here but still feasibly treated under a 4lb penalty.

Admirable 8yo who has won four of his last five starts and was as good as ever when making all for a clearcut win at Leicester (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago; a 6lb rise for that success looks fair and he's a big player again in his bid for a four-timer.

Ready winner of a 6f maiden handicap at Southwell last August; backward steps since and he's untested at 5f but this is a drop in class and there could be more in the tank.

Took her turf record to 4-11 when making all at Brighton (5f, soft) four weeks ago; that effort backed up by the clock and a 4lb rise looks fair; 0-5 on AW but ran well over 6f here in March; solid claims from a beneficial draw.

All four wins have come over C&D, the latest in January off just 2lb lower; not at his best in last three starts but he's been given a break and he's more than capable at this level.

Cracking 8yo who has won two Polytrack races in every season for the last five years; however, he finished behind Spendmore Lane and Ancient State at Lingfield recently and the return to Tapeta looks a negative.

Got the better of the battle for the early lead when beating Beaumadier and Gogo Yubari here on January 14 and he would have strong claims if reproducing that form; he hasn't managed it in two subsequent starts but a full revival would be no surprise.

Has won just one of her 15 starts but this front-runner is unexposed in the hood and, having edged down the weights, she was a good second of 14 off this mark over C&D last time out; could be bang there once more.
