20/1
Capable sprinter who hasn't won for nearly a year now but has crept back to under his last winning mark. Generally forces the pace but did too much last time out (ran very free) and folded up fairly quickly.

Has always looked best over the minimum trip and shaped nicely here last time in an apprentice event when he looked as though he would come on for that run. Headgear (cheekpieces) go back on here and although he has work to do with a couple of these on that run he could well reverse that form.

Has turned in some respectable efforts since his last win over 5f on the AW at Chelmsford and has run consistently since. Returns to a track where he's run some of his better races and can be given a chance here.

Looks a capable sort at this level and is closely matched with one or two on his running here last time out over 5f. Will have come on for that run but does look as though further will suit.

2/1
Could not be in better form than of late with two wins one over C&D off a 3lb lower mark defeating a few of these rivals. Only beaten by an unexposed three-year-old last time out in a better race than this and it won't surprise to see her go close back at a lesser level off a 1lb lower mark.

18/1
C&D winner last year off a lowly mark cashing in on a career low with the stable in a good spell but has found winning difficult since off higher marks. Well below form last time out back from a break but is edging back down to that last winning mark again.

Won a couple of races last year and ran a decent race on his return to action this year on the Fibresand. Failed to improve on that run here last time out when well behind plenty of these and work to do to reverse that form.

Not long with this yard and off the mark for them when winning at Wolverhampton over 5f on his penultimate start. Far from in the same form last time out and questions to answer here.

25/1
May well be on a long losing run but very much left the impression that he could be far better than his last run at Wolverhampton. Certainly wasn't seen to best effect there from a wide draw and trip and stayed on well to be nearest at the finish. Competes off a similarly lowly mark here and one to very much keep in mind.

33/1
Another C&D winner (there are five in the field) but looked to be well out of form when last seen producing some laboured efforts. Not won away from the Southwell Fibresand sine winning here in 2015 off a 9lb higher mark and probably best watched here.

Losing run starting to stack up now and stretches back to 2015 with the latest runs very uninspiring ones.

Runs from 4lb out of the handicap and well held at Newcastle last time out when a big price and would be one of the outsiders here.

Forecasts

Kinloch Pride (2/1), The Armed Man (4/1), Culloden (9/2), Searanger (6/1), Kodimoor (14/1), Fuel Injection (18/1), Pearl Noir (20/1), Lizzy's Dream (25/1), Under Approval (25/1), Teepee Time (28/1), Sir Geoffrey (33/1), Minty Jones (50/1), On The High Tops (150/1)

Verdict

Plenty of these have met before and Kinloch Pride looks sure to continue her good run here over a C&D she has run well over before. Searanger looks as though he could improve from his last run along with Fuel Injection who is falling in the handicap. The Armed Man looks as though he needs further and a smoother passage this time could well see LIZZY’S DREAM end his long losing run after he showed promise last time out.
