Four time winner including off 2lb lower mark at Yarmouth over 6f in September. Well beaten in Class 2 handicap at Doncaster over this trip when last seen and worth a check in the market on return to action.
Successful three times in 2016 including over this trip at Epsom off a 2lb lower mark in July. Finished third off this mark over that same C&D when last seen in action in September and has a top jockey booked to ride here.
C&D winner who was beaten 4L over this trip at Chelmsford last month. Races off the same mark here and likely to run well with apprentice jockey on board on that occasion in the saddle here.
All seven victories have come over 6f including off 5lb lower mark at Lingfield last month. Ran respectably off this mark over that same C&D last time out but has a poor record (one place in five outings) over today's trip.
Winner over C&D in June 2016 but well beaten twice subsequently. Races off a 4lb higher mark here as he makes his debut for a new stable after over seven months off the track.
Finished third over 1m at Lingfield three starts back off 3lb higher mark but well beaten the last twice including when last over today's C&D last time out. Rated 8lb lower than when winning here in November 2015 but a bit to prove at present.
Beaten a neck off a 6lb higher mark in October but beaten just five rivals in four outings since. Return to 7f a positive here but last win came back in May 2015.
Winner over 1m here off 7lb lower mark in January. Not beaten far when sent off favourite the last twice including when runner-up over 1m here earlier this month. Drop to 7f shouldn't inconvenience and likely to run well again.
Forecasts
Saleh (7/2), Highly Sprung (5/1), Until Midnight (6/1), Black Bess (7/1), Mezmaar (7/1), Dutiful Son (15/2), Varsovian (8/1), Major Crispies (10/1)
SALEH ran well over 1m last time out and can register a second success of 2017 here having proven successful over 1m off a 7lb lower mark in January. The selection remains open to improvement and has a decent draw here as he seeks a third career success. Until Midnight ran well when beaten 4L over this trip on his return to action last month and can follow that up with another placing while Black Bess can claim third on her first run since September.
