Made a flying start for the Tony Carroll yard with two wins from four starts and market can reveal expectations of what is expected on debut for this yard returning from a break. Scored from a 19lb higher mark in a 2014 handicap so no doubt he's on a good mark if ready to go.

Kept very busy last year but has become a tad frustrating to follow. Close third for this yard last time was a promising effort under this jockey but no certainty to back that up over 2f further and the step up in trip doesn't look like an obvious positive move, unplaced on the two other times he's attempted it.

Mark looks high for his recent achievements and probably more effective over sprint trips. First-time visor will need to bring about some improvement but he does have nice draw to work with if he gets away on terms.

Promise on both her starts since a significant absence but will need to up her game if she's to get involved and handicap mark looks stiff on what she's achieved.

Yet to record a win in 15 starts to date but been a little unlucky in some respect and nearly scored on debut for this yard in December. Disappointing favourite last time though and while return to this track is a positive, having placed three time here, she has questions to answer after her last effort.

7/2
Once rated 90 on turf, he's looked very well-handicapped on occasions for this yard but he's been nothing short of frustrating to follow and his price rarely represents his chances. Best recent efforts have come without the visor that returns today and he's hard to recommend on the back of his four most recent unplaced efforts.

Respectable third last time but this C&D winner's mark can only be described as fair. Drawn okay for her normal front-running tactics but likely to find one or two too good.

Not won since a victory at Southwell in 2015 and while he's been running consistently well of late, he's been struggling to get into the places and looks to have place claims at best.

Still a maiden after 17 starts and shown nothing in three starts for this yard. Has threatened to score from this kind of mark in the past but can't be put forward with any confidence after her recent efforts.

Forecasts

Quiet Warrior (5/2), Athletic (7/2), Rosie Crowe (5/1), Hidden Gem (6/1), Keene's Pointe (6/1), Limerick Lord (11/1), Jack The Laird (12/1), Lily Ash (25/1), Just Fab (33/1)

Verdict

The market may well reveal what is expected from QUIET WARRIOR following a switch of yard but he's so well-handicapped on old form, he's very difficult to look past. Hidden Gem needs to bounce back after a poor effort last time but she has shaped like a winner in waiting on some of her recent starts. The consistent Rosie Crowe is drawn well to make all from the front but she may find a couple too good once again.
