Improved on each run of last season, and finished the season running Malmoosa (who ran well in better class next time) to two lengths at Lingfield. Likely conditions fine and has been gelded since last seen, so further improvement not ruled out. Looks a major player.

Has won after a break, so absence since October not necessarily an issue, and has moved yards in the meantime. Best run towards the end of last year came here at Yarmouth, albeit over a bit further, but these conditions should be fine and if the market speaks in his favour, the money should be noted.

Only seen out twice last year, and better run of the two came first time up after a layoff, so the fact he's been off since October is of no concern. Drop back in trip looks a good move after appearing not to get home at Wolverhampton on latest start (over 1m4f) and not ruled out.

Was in great form last summer, winning back-to-back handicaps here at Yarmouth and Nottingham, but they were over much further and this trip looks very much on the short side for him. May need this and is best watched today.

Came right back to form after a couple of disappointing efforts towards the end of last season when making all at Chelmsford in March. Up 5lb for that, but likely conditions and trip both fine, and gives the impression there's more improvement to come.

Has been on the go for a year without a break now, and recent efforts don't suggest he's about to be entering the winners enclosure today. Good jockey booking but yard out of form, and surely more likely winners.

Forecasts

Theydon Grey (15/8), Mohatem (9/4), Celebration Day (9/2), Wapping (6/1), The Gay Cavalier (14/1), High Draw (14/1), Bertie Moon (50/1)

Verdict

Tricky to solve, with the puzzle of Theydon Grey muddying the waters somewhat. This will be his first run for William Haggas and if he can coax him back to his best form, he'd be dangerous. Preference at this stage is for WAPPING, who showed some quality form last year and may well have more to offer now he's been gelded. Celebration Day can get involved if building on his Chelmsford win and Mohatem looks the other that can get in the mix.
