7/2
Four times a winner on polytrack, including once over this C&D in 2015/16 but his only win since came on the turf at Brighton in September. Decent effort off this mark at Kempton last time out in January and couldn't be dismissed lightly.

7/1
A four-time winner over 1m2f here before opening his account over C&D in January off a 5lb lower mark. Twice edged out by Synodic off this mark over C&D recently and, for all his consistency, he looks vulnerable again.

6/4
Little impact in maidens but a revelation since going handicapping and arrives here having recently completed a hat-trick in great style over 1m3f at Kempton, forging clear to beat Solveig's Song by 4 1/2L. Obvious claims under a penalty.

15/8
Had been campaigned over 2m prior to producing a career-best effort to defeat Threediamondrings by just under 2L over C&D last time out in December (5lb lower mark), staying on strongly. Still lightly-raced, so no surprise if there's more to come.

Forecasts

Moayadd (6/4), Balancing Time (15/8), Bridge Of Sighs (7/2), Ruby Wednesday (5/1), Attain (7/1)

Verdict

MOAYADD has proved a total revelation in recent starts and took another huge leap forward when bolting up at Kempton last week. He remains ahead of the handicapper and a four-timer would appear within his grasp, though there was a lot to like about the way Balancing Time scored over C&D last time and he should ensure the selection doesn't get things his own way. Bridge of Sighs looks the pick of the remainder.
  1. Moayadd
  2. Balancing Time
  3. Bridge Of Sighs
