9/2
Six time winner, with his three AW wins coming at Southwell (x2) and Wolverhampton. Probably has lost his way slightly since the turn of the year, and concedes weight all round (second top rated on official figures), and has not raced on Polytrack since February 2016.

7/2
Veteran, who is a four time course winner, and didn't get the luck in running in a C&D claimer behind Russian Reward early last month. Likely to go close at a similar level.

4/6
Top-rated (80), so if that mark is accurate, he should have a few pounds in hand of these rivals. C&D winner in the past, and his stable have enjoyed a blinding few weeks in terms of winners, with his recent 5L fifth of nine to Shamash over 1m4f in a Wolverhampton Class 4 handicap rock solid form at this level.

8/1
Former German racer with a sole career success coming over 1m3f at Dusseldorf in May 2014. Not at his best in handicaps during 2017 despite a sliding mark, and drops into a seller with a point to prove and a tough task at the weights.

100/1
Runner up in a 1m Kempton maiden in March 2016 (General Hazard third), but his career has since chartered a wildly different path to that progressive rival. He's regressed badly, and despite a plummeting mark (67 to 52) has scarcely beaten a rival home in his last five races. No surprise to see him in a seller, with the first-time hood applied.

100/1
Last on both career starts, in a 1m6f Newcastle junior bumper and in a 1m Lingfield maiden. Stable did win a claimer with Doc Sportello in December, but this horse needs the first time hood to have a transformational impact.

Forecasts

Viewpoint (4/6), Gaelic Silver (7/2), Anton Chigurh (9/2), Firestorm (8/1), The Dancing Lord (10/1), Haabis (100/1), Mister Flip Flop (100/1)

Verdict

VIEWPOINT looks head and shoulders above these rivals in a desperate race, and with Mick Appleby in good form, he can be expected to take advantage of an excellent winning opportunity, with the veteran Gaelic Silver probably the pick to follow him home.
