Has been running some nice races at Wolverhampton recently but has also won here three times. Drops in class from those latest efforts off a similar mark and should go well.
Finished very close on two starts so far this year and looks to type to have a win in him soon. The fact that he has won over this specialist trip before and that he has a low draw today are both further causes for enthusiasm.
Close third in a Yarmouth maiden last time was much more like it after a couple disappointing performances. Difficult to judge on evidence so far if this mark is suitable or not, though, and must overcome a break since September.
Exposed looking veteran who has shown little since a second and a first in two claiming events in the middle of last year. Should be noted that that most recent victory was his only previous run at this course, however.
Form since moving to this stable in November has not been encouraging. Though his handicap mark is slipping, others hold more appealing claims, especially as he has only ever won on turf.
Inconsistent sort who has shown his liking for this trip in the past when he feels like it, but doesn't always run his race. Course winner, which is a positive, but is drawn out wide, which is not.
Has been unlucky in not winning since December 2015, but those close finishes mean he remains on a higher remark than that which he won off that day. Is a triple winner over this trip, but is only 1/36 on Polytrack.
Makes first racecourse appearance for 576 days and first start for a new trainer. Neither of his two wins have come after a break, so best watched on return in a first time hood.
Has shown little since dead heating for first at Wolverhampton in December 2015. Has moved yard twice since then and both starts over 7f have been disappointing, difficult to see him winning here.
Sole victory came over further than this for a different trainer almost a year ago and finished last of all on sole start over today's C&D. Handicap mark is at least headed in the right direction, but there's a reason for that.
A switch back to 7f and the application of cheekpieces have revitalised this horse recently, with a win and a narrow second. Has also won over C&D and with only a minimal rise in the weights he looks a big player once again.
Has only won once, but that was an absolute romp over C&D in a maiden in November 2015. On a career low mark now, but must rediscover that sort of previous form to have a say here.
Forecasts
Dominium (7/2), Quintus Cerialis (4/1), Bookmaker (4/1), Indian Affair (5/1), Falcao (8/1), Harry Holland (8/1), Muthraab Aldaar (14/1), Only Ten Per Cent (25/1), Forever Yours (25/1), Murdanova (33/1), Layla's Hero (33/1), Talksalot (50/1)
Bookmaker is a horse who has been revolutionised by the use of cheekpieces, which combined with today's trip have made him look like a different horse of late. His recent victory was only a narrow one though, and he has some tough competition today, including INDIAN AFFAIR. He has finished close up in two starts so far this year and perhaps the furlong in front of him today, combined with the best of the draw, could be the answer to providing connections with a seventh career win. Dominium has been running some nice races at Wolverhampton recently and could have a say returning to a course where he's won three times.
