Rating is dropping but efforts since joining this yard are not encouraging, struggling to reproduce any of the promise formerly shown in Britain.

Thriving in two runs here last month, just failing to see it out over 5f latest, upped in trip and 2lb higher now but sure to give his running.

Disappointing on stable debut last month over 5f, has won over this trip on turf before though both AW runs have been below the norm for her.

Well off the pace around here of late, including two runs in January, mark is sliding all the while but now two years since she produced a winning effort on this track.

Recent record at this venue makes him almost impossible to fancy, he's been toiling over this sort of trip and 7f didn't bring any improvement latest.

Yet to place in six starts on this surface, including two previous attempts at this trip, formbook gives him plenty to find despite slipping mark.

Extended winless career record to 19 over C&D a week ago, though there were at least some tentative signs of better to come.

Not beaten far over C&D off this mark early last month and return to this trip ought to suit, looks set to be involved.

Hasn't been seen at this track for the best part of two years and been off since September. Running some fair races last year on turf and off current mark, could give this a go.

Now a 20-race maiden, ran competitively over C&D last month off this mark third of 14 but needs more surely.

Better effort on second start for this yard when five-lengths fifth of 14 over C&D last month. Not well suited by current terms however.

Struggled in maiden company here of late, switched to handicapping now should do somewhat better.

Big step forward on three AW runs is going to be needed to feature at the business end if getting in as second reserve.

Forecasts

Times In Anatefka (5/2), Strategic Heights (7/2), Red All Star (7/2), Burren View Lady (4/1), Mr Bounty (8/1), Little Cupcake (9/1), Bubblesontherise (10/1), Pillar (11/1), Mr Bernard (14/1), Jan Steen (16/1), Chicago School (20/1), Zippy (20/1), Scobias (25/1), Onchu (25/1), Illusive Force (25/1), Little Kodi (33/1)

Verdict

Red All Star went close over C&D last month and should be in the mix again while Times In Anatefka landed a touch with a rapid double at Wolverhampton recently and must be respected on the back of that. Many of these are out of form, having questions of one form or another to answer and so a tentative vote goes the way of MR BOUNTY. He hasn't run here for almost two years but was running some decent races on turf last summer. Off since September, he's on a lowly mark and should be able to get involved. Strategic Heights was in fine fettle last month around here and probably rates as the most likely scorer though he will priced accordingly.
  1. Mr Bounty
  2. Strategic Heights
  3. Red All Star
