7/1
On a long, losing sequence, but has shaped encouragingly on a number of occasions and was beaten less than 2L after a tardy start at Lingfield last time. Runs off the same mark and should be thereabouts.

10/1
C&D winner who has five AW successes on his CV. Has not been at his best on recent outings, however, and needs to show something before he can be seriously considered.

7/4
Only win came at Wolverhampton in November, and has struggled off higher handicaps marks since. Seems to be in the grip of the handicapper and needs some respite.

Can still take a keen hold for one of his age, but has not win since February, last year and is gradually falling down the handicap. Seems to reserve his best efforts for Southwell these days.

10/3
Won two AW handicaps in March, including one over C&D. Ran respectably at Brighton last week and is not without a chance back at one of his favourite venues.

Pool Houseb37
Age: 6|  Weight: 8-13| J: R Winston| T: M Murphy| OR:  57
7/1
Has yet to win in 17 starts for his current yard and is not the most consistent of performers. Inching down the weights, but does not shape like a horse about to regain the winning thread.

Mowhoob37

5/1
Won once and finished second twice on his last three starts over C&D. Only 6lb higher than when successful and, in his current form, is one of the leading fancies.

Forecasts

Win Lose Draw (7/4), Hold Firm (10/3), Kafoo (9/2), Mowhoob (5/1), Freddy With A Y (7/1), Pool House (7/1), Stun Gun (10/1), Greyfriarschorista (20/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for most of these, but C&D form counts for a lot and bottom weight MOWHOOB boasts the best profile in that respect. Freddy With A Y looks poised to strike soon, top weight Kafoo should come on for his latest outing and Hold Firm is another to consider back at the scene of one of his triumphs.
  1. Mowhoob
  2. Freddy With A Y
  3. Hold Firm
