Still 7lbs higher than when gaining solitary AW win at this track in November 2015. Couple of runs last month suggest the handicapper retains his measure, drops in class now.

Likeable mare has a decent strike rate. Won at Chelmsford over this trip in October but not in the same form here a month later. Record at track is patchy.

Gelding has rarely threatened to outrun his odds since joining this yard, including over 7f here last month. No apparent reason for turnaround now.

Lightly raced gelding took a step forward when close-up fourth here on Tuesday over 7f, extra furlong to cover and holds claims if reproducing that effort.

Improved effort to finish fourth here on New Year's Day, beaten less than two-lengths. Off same mark can run his race once more.

Faded out of a challenge here on New Year's Day, finishing behind Powered as a result.

Well held all three starts to date, significant drop back in trip now but plenty to prove for the mare.

First start for new trainer at Newcastle last week wasn't entirely without promise. Not certain to see out the mile here however and due to drop 2lbs in future.

Almost bagged an apprentice race at Brighton in September, but unable to follow-up back there a month later. AW efforts since leave plenty to be desired and 2lbs out of the handicap now.

Forecasts

Powered (7/4), Samphire Coast (9/4), Arcane Dancer (4/1), Limerick Lord (10/1), Secret Interlude (20/1), Little Choosey (25/1), Angel Of Light (25/1), Spryt (25/1), Zeteah (100/1)

Verdict

Questions hovering over plenty of these, but a chance is given to SAMPHIRE COAST after he showed some improvement on his recent spin around here. Reproduction of that effort should put him in the firing line again. Arcane Dancer must concede weight all round but has the ability to win at this level, while Limerick Lord threatened here on New Year's Day briefly and could reverse form with Powered from that race. 1. Samphire Coast 2. Arcane Dancer 3. Limerick Lord
