Good winner last time out when comfortably winning at Doncaster and 6lb rise for that effort looks particularly lenient. Will be hard to beat if turning up in the same form and going on this ground.

Dropped another 4lb in the handicap and this trainer/jockey combination had a winner yesterday at Fontwell. Looks well-handicapped but best performances have come with cut in the ground so does have to prove he goes on this ground.

4/1
One win from 12 starts and showed very little on return from a break last time out. Interesting connections give faster ground another chance after disappointing last time having shown all his best form on a quicker surface. Can hang left and doesn't look the easiest ride so not one to get carried away with.

Pulled-up on four of his last six starts and still a maiden after 18 attempts under rules. Trainer not had a winner under rules for over a year.

Not won since 2012 and makes little appeal from a very long way out of the weights. Tongue-tie tried for the first time.

Forecasts

Today Please (11/8), Saffron Prince (11/8), Fingers Crossed (4/1), Sussex Road (33/1), Finch Flyer (100/1)

Verdict

TODAY PLEASE scored with a little in hand last time at Doncaster and his rise for that effort would appear to underestimate him; he makes most appeal in a weak affair. Saffron Prince looks well-handicapped but may be better suited to slower ground while Fingers Crossed should have the beating of the remaining two despite running a shade disappointingly last time.
