Maiden after 11 career outings. Finished fourth here over 5f a month ago and interesting to see if he can repeat that effort here.

Well beaten here last month having won off a 6lb lower mark at Kempton the time before. Has won off higher marks in the past but others seem more likely here.

Finished runner-up over 7f on turf for previous yard three starts back. Well beaten on debut for this stable latest however and only previous success came when causing a 33/1 shock on turf off a 2lb lower mark.

Application of cheekpieces seem to have spark improvement and had Swendab back in second when winning an amateur riders event on her penultimate start. Ran well when beaten 3L off this mark over C&D last time out and top jockey booked here.

Dual C&D winner and successful over 6f at Chelmsford last time out earlier this month. Races off a 1lb lower mark in this contest and likely to run well again with a leading jockey booked for the ride.

Not beaten far when third over 6f at Dundalk last week but overall record is poor given he's now had 20 starts without tasting success. Others make more appeal for win purposes.

Held when finishing fourth on last two outings including when sent off favourite over 7f at Southwell last time out. Sole victory came over C&D off a 4lb higher mark but needs to step up on recent form here.

Not beaten far when finishing fifth here the last twice. Most recent of those outings came over this distance when running on late. Last win came off a 2lb higher mark than he races off here and yard have had a couple of winners recently.

Shown only moderate form so far including when beating only one home in a 7f handicap at Kempton last time out in January. Plenty to prove at present.

Unplaced in all four outings to date including against some higher rated rivals in claiming company last time out. Wore a hood on that occasion and makes her debut for a new yard here.

Forecasts

Castlerea Tess (9/4), Dream Ally (9/2), Pillar (6/1), Tasaaboq (13/2), Mr Michael (7/1), Celerity (7/1), Lizzy's Dream (9/1), Swendab (12/1), Neptune Star (20/1), George Bailey (25/1), Cooperess (33/1), Love And Be Loved (66/1), Let It Go (150/1)

Verdict

DREAM ALLY was successful off a 1lb lower mark earlier this month and can follow up that success by winning over the same distance at this track. The selection has won off higher marks in the past and numbers three C&D successes amongst his five previous victories with a wide draw unlikely to inconvenience too much given he is usually held up for a run. Mr Michael finished a decent fourth here last time out and can claim second for his Irish yard while the in form Castlerea Tess and Celerity are others to note here.
