Form & Verdict
Very useful a few years ago but isn't anything like as good or consistent now; ended a long losing run in Jersey a month ago and, while it's unlikely that amounted to much, it won't have hurt confidence dropped a handy 4lb.

Generally consistent for Richard Hannon last year without winning (1m1f-1m4f); best of those to race prominently on comeback in April before a lesser effort down to 7f here last time (rain would help); possibilities under Simon Walker (14-48 for the yard).

Pride Of Nepal

J: Miss Sarah Bowen

T: Tony Carroll

8yo who went 21 months without a win but has now scored at Windsor, Lingfield, Chepstow and Ripon in his four races this turf season; his second in this race last year was a remote one and the 6lb rise since his latest start asks a question, but conditions fine and he's on a major roll, ridden by Sarah Bowen on last two starts (two in four days); major player.

Completed the hat-trick at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft) on Monday; carries a 4lb penalty for that and stays 1m4f fine, so likely to have a major role to play again under Sarah Bowen, if electing to stand his ground.

Frequent slow starter who's enjoyed a revival since returned to turf, minus the tongue-tie and headgear; looked to have a bit more in hand than the final margin at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) off 3lb lower last time and holds obvious claims.

Scored twice (over 1m1f) at Goodwood last summer; yet to hit top form this season though, a never-dangerous fifth of eight back at Goodwood (1m1f) last month; has slipped to a lenient mark though so needs considering in a headgear changed for in-form yard.
