Lightly raced maiden in Britain, has been running over hurdles since joining this yard, interesting now switched back to AW with blinkers on.

Completed double here a week ago when stepped up to this trip, probably had more in hand than winning margin suggests and bold hat-trick bid on the cards.

Off the track since September, plenty to find on previous AW form, sole win came over 5f and this trip is an unknown factor.

Really struggling in three runs around here this year, including when well beaten off in a mile claimer last week, impossible to muster any sort of confidence on current form.

Been finishing tamely over shorter trips since joining this yard, goes up markedly in distance now and it is essentially a shot in the dark.

Ran well to be second over a mile at this track in December, been off since and there must be some stamina questions to answer at this new trip.

Second in C&D claimer last month off this mark, since joined this trainer and does need a bit more on form it seems.

Running well in three starts for this trainer, landed a Fillies' contest at Wolverhampton eight days ago. That was over a shorter trip and she was in need of the line, this is tougher on first run in this country.

Previous C&D scorer has been running fair races without looking likely to score, mark continues to drop and could easily take a hand if fancying the job.

Has four wins at the track, including over this trip, and just some signs recently of a revival. Interesting to see how the market judges him.

Quirky, 19 runs since he last won. Went very close over 1m4f penultimate start but failed miserably to back that up last week. Hard to trust.

On a long losing sequence now, not to be trusted in the starting stalls at times, makes stable debut and easy to look elsewhere.

Good effort here seven days ago, beaten just three-lengths over this trip. Had previously won over 1m4f, not out of this.

Forecasts

Ligeti (6/4), So Sensible (6/1), Tenerezza (7/1), Hello Humpfrey (7/1), King Of Country (8/1), Ineffable (12/1), Settle For Red (14/1), I Will Excel (14/1), King Christophe (16/1), Manorov (16/1), Dark Amber (18/1), Pyla (33/1), Mulzamm (40/1), Spirit Of The Law (50/1)

Verdict

The manner of LIGETI's recent course double suggests he is more than content do just enough to win, he didn't have a big margin last week and is raised in the weights but he appeared to have more up his sleeve if required and can bring up the hat-trick in this race. Tenerezza is serving her new connections well and landed a nice touch at Wolverhampton last week, she was all-out to hold on and with more distance to cover and a tougher race in prospect, is vulnerable. King Of Country is worth a look in the betting now switched back to this game while previous C&D winner Manorov, Settle For Red and Hello Humpfrey are others with the potential to run well. 1. Ligeti 2. Manorov 3. Hello Humpfrey
