On a 22-race losing run and last win came in 2015. Latest third was a fair effort and blatantly well-handicapped on best form but there's no guarantee he will back his latest effort up and trainer is 0-21 around here.

Not won since 2014 and yet to ever win in six starts on the AW. Habitual hold-up performer who hasn't shown enough in four recent Tapeta starts to be of interest in a competitive race despite having the services of a talented 5lb claimer.

C&D winner who has to go down as unlucky when narrowly denied here last time. 2lb lower than his last winning mark and he's an interesting contender provided they go a good enough gallop.

Badly out of form when last seen and capable of blowing his chance from the stalls, as seen on several occasions in his career. Has a sizable absence to overcome and hasn't run well fresh in the past so he's opposable this time around.

Unplaced on last six starts but he does have a C&D win to his name. Jockey has his first ride under rules here and it will be interesting to see what the market makes of him after he was a well beaten favourite at Lingfield when last seen earlier in the month.

Benefited from the drop back in trip at this course last time out on his first start on these shores. A 4lb rise looks fair for that effort and the drop back further in trip could bring out more improvement.He's less exposed than several of these and an interesting player for a young jockey with a 16.67% strike rate on the AW.

Unplaced in eight career starts and very disappointing at Lingfield last time. Jockey having her first ride under rules today and she will no doubt have better oppurtunites to get a win on the board.

Failed in hat-trick bid last time after probably going a little too quick on the front end. New mark has kicked in now and he may be vulnerable for win purposes.

Didn't make it to the racecourse until the age of five and very little to show in four starts to date. He will need the first-time cheekpieces to have a dramatic effect if he's to shed his maiden tag.

Forecasts

Lucent Dream (6/4), All You (4/1), Spiritual Star (13/2), Hold Firm (9/1), One For Jodie (12/1), Pc Dixon (14/1), Stormbound (16/1), Green Howard (16/1), Gambino (20/1), Bella's Boy (33/1)

Verdict

LUCENT DREAM had shaped well on several of his starts before scoring last time and there could well be more to come from this unexposed six-year-old. All You is another with course form and he was unlucky not to win over C&D last time; he's a danger off the same mark. Hold Firm is another with claims but may find things a little more difficult of his revised mark.
