Won well when last seen at Nottingham and has won on the polytrack at Kempton back in 2014. Only made it to the race course twice in 2016 so may be a delicate type and one that could come on for the run.
Four-time winner on four different AW tracks including a win here over C&D and has really hit form this winter. Signs the handicapper is catching up with her now and she may be more likely to score from this kind of mark at Chelmsford that suits her running style more. Obviously still in good form though and likely to give another good account.
Has a very creditable record at Southwell recording form figures of 2316214 with the latest win coming in a seller over 5f, not surprisingly he won that easily but on his past form he's well up to this grade. Draw not been particularly kind again though.
Been in fine form this winter but struggled under a penalty when last seen at this course in January. Needs the short break to have freshened him up and he is capable of scoring off this kind of mark.
Disappointing on fibresand debut last time and doesn't look an obvious type to take to the surface. Jockey has a good record here but his mount is likely to be of more interest when back on turf.
Unplaced on last seven starts but back down to his last winning mark at least and he shaped with some promise over C&D last time. Chance will depend on whether he's ready to go after a break.
Very well treated on some of his form and all five wins have come over C&D. One of the few winners for the yard in recent times and the stable form continues to be a concern here.
C&D winner here two starts back and while he was admittedly disappointing as favourite here last time, he's no doubt better than that.
Forecasts
Escalating (2/1), Lady Nayef (7/2), Dungannon (9/2), Crosse Fire (9/1), Archimedes (10/1), Captain Lars (12/1), Wentworth Falls (12/1), Orient Class (25/1)
Either LADY NAYEF or Achimedes would be difficult to peg back if allowed an easy lead with narrow preference going to the former, having won in impressive fashion here in January. The latter was left poorly positioned last time out and is no doubt better than that run. Cross Fire is capable on his day but yard form is a slight worry.
1. Lady Nayef
2. Archimedes
3. Crosse Fire
