Has recorded a total of seven victories in a 61 race career so far including off a 2lb lower mark over 7f here on good ground last June. Ran well over that same C&D when finishing a close fifth earlier this month and worth a check in the market here.

Eight times a winner in the past with last two successes coming in selling and claiming company. Well held in five outings since joining this yard last autumn and others make more appeal today.

Completed a double at Bath in spring last year and running well without winning thereafter. Made a good start to 2017 when beaten just a neck in a 13 runner contest over an extended 1m at Windsor (good) earlier this month and likely to run well again here.

Beaten 2L when making his seasonal debut over 1m at Pontefract (good) earlier this month. Well handicapped on his old form (won and placed off much higher marks in the past) but probably on the decline these days.

Won two of his four outings as a two-year-old but failed to add to that tally last season. Finished a good second having met trouble in running on his return to actionoff a 2lb lower mark over 1m at Pontefract (good) earlier this month. Likely to be involved in the finish today.

Verdict

AMOOD experienced trouble in running when finishing seventh on the AW last time out and he can make a winning return to turf in this. the selection has won off a 1lb higher mark on turf in the past and can get the better of Marcano who finished runner-up on his seasonal debut while Desert Ruler who also finished runner-up on his seasonal debut earlier this month can claim third in what looks a competitive opener.
