9/2
Just one win from 44 starts before managing to put back-to-back wins together on his last two starts at Wolverhampton. Drawn well for a repeat bid but may struggle with a 6lb higher mark and holds a poor course record of 0-13 along with a similarly poor record over this trip (0-17).

5/1
Remains a maiden after 15 starts but has begun to look like he's capable of winning a race in two starts around here this year. First-time visor may eke out a little more improvement and can't be dismissed from the same mark as a close up third last time when he didn't get a clear run.

Three runner-up efforts in August of last year but closer to last than first in three subsequent starts. Remains a maiden after 27 starts and may need the run after a break so probably best watched on her return.

Unplaced on last five starts and yet to get off the mark in 20 attempts. Unplaced on three of her four starts when fresh so others preferred on return from a mid-season absence. First-time visor applied.

Only career win came on her debut on turf and unplaced on her last seven starts but minor promise when 3L fifth of 10 over the minimum trip last time from 1lb out of the handicap. Hasn't really shaped like this step up in trip is going to suit and looks vulnerable once again from out the handicap.

Well beaten in his final two starts of 2016 but glimmers of improvement in a first-time tongue tie behind Hold Firm over 1m at Lingfield on his reappearance. New headgear combination needs to spark some improvement. Engaged at Lingfield 29/3/17

Finished third behind subsequent winner Hold Firm at Lingfield when last seen but failed to threaten to any significant extent and his best efforts have come at the other AW tracks across the country.

15/8
Going from strength to strength since the turn of the year and maybe scored with a little in hand last time at Lingfield. Comes in search of hat-trick but jockey has lost 2lb off her claim since the last win so the filly is effectively up 8lb. While she's less exposed than plenty in here it remains to be seen if she's quite as effective around here.

Forecasts

Tigerfish (15/8), Locommotion (5/2), Tasaaboq (9/2), Home Again (5/1), Bold Max (10/1), Wild Flower (10/1), Zebelini (20/1), Daydream (20/1), Isntshesomething (33/1)

Verdict

While he's still a maiden, HOME AGAIN looks like an interesting contender in the first-time visor. He's looked like a different animal in two starts this year and it's possible he can finally get his head in front in what looks like a weak affair. Tigerfish has gone from strength to strength this year but her come from behind style may not be as well suited to this track and she has a rise in the weights to deal with. Tasaaboq is another who has a rise in the weights to deal with but he's one of the likelier sorts to give his running.
