Not the most prolific on the AW and was well held here on previous visit in November. Similar tale over 6f at Lingfield latest and others more likely now with handicapper due to give him a break after this race.
Great strike rate on the AW, recording fourth win in eight attempts at Lingfield last month. Hasn't run around here before but a big danger if taking to the fibresand.
Went close in C&D event last month before slightly lesser effort at Lingfield latest, entitled to his chance back around here and likely to be there at the death.
Filly has won a Wolverhampton maiden but that came well over a year ago and little sign of a follow-up since.
Forecasts
Captain Lars (5/4), Dungannon (9/2), Crosse Fire (9/2), The Big Lad (8/1), I'll Be Good (8/1), Archie Stevens (10/1), Krystallite (25/1)
Top-weight Captain Lars couldn't be on better terms with himself right now and looks sure to run another big race. DUNGANNON however gets some relief here after a testing autumn on turf and he can make the most of it. The Big Lad must rate a huge danger if taking to this venue, given his excellent strike rate in this sphere.
1. Dungannon
2. Captain Lars
3. The Big Lad
