racinguk.com Handicap (Div 1)

3lb higher than most recent Wolverhampton win and held on all three starts at that track since, all from today's mark. Has never run to her best in three tries here and probably one to watch today.

C&D scorer who has never been out of the first three in four starts here. Goes on any ground, with the win coming from 9lb higher than today around 18 months ago. Recent form largely consistent on All Weather and has to enter calculations.

Won a 7f maiden on only previous run here (good) in September and didn't run badly on handicap debut next time. Out of sorts, however, on all five starts since joining current yard, including in a seller and a claimer. Blinkers fitted today and now 12lb lower than last handicap run we might see a fair bit more.

All three wins have been from marks in the 50s and today he is 2lb higher than the best of them, racing from 61. Loves it here and likely to be very competitive, but winning from 60 or above continues to look beyond him even with claimer up.

Form so far slightly better on All Weather than turf and won from a 6lb higher mark at Kempton last time. Best effort on the green stuff was when third from 7lb higher at Bath a couple of seasons ago. Would have a squeak on that basis, though given he is a maiden on turf it is hard to back him with confidence.

1-28 so far and it has been 23 runs and 20 months since that Leicester maiden auction win. Has been sliding down the ratings and now 6lb lower than last turf run, when runner-up at Beverley in September. May run well but percentage call is each-way claims at best.

3lb below the mark from which he won at Wolverhampton in January 2016 and in reasonable form on the All Weather again this winter without success. Has failed to produce his best in four previous tries here and looks one to take on again.

Made the frame in a maiden and a Carlisle handicap last year though yet to win. Not a completely forlorn hope judged on a couple of creditable recent All Weather efforts and from 5lb lower back on turf she has a squeak.

Chelmsford maiden success last year is her only one to date, though she did go close for the only time in a handicap from a 4lb higher mark at Wolverhampton in January,

Not managed to add to his Wolverhampton maiden win from October 2014 and has been plummeting in the weights as a result. A further 1lb drop here won't do any harm, though whether it will do enough good to see him win is open to plenty of debate.

0-13 and the only real positive about her form is that she did make the frame from this mark at Doncaster when visored last year (6f, good to soft). Otherwise, nigh on impossible to recommend parting with their hard-earned at present.
