Ended a two year losing run when winning over an extended 2m7f on good ground at Fakenham last month. Has run well off higher marks in the past but may struggle to defy a 4lb rise on this occasion.

Winner over 2m on soft ground here under today's claiming rider off a 2lb lower mark in February. Seems to save his best for this track and interesting returning here following disappointing runs at Fontwell and Wetherby.

Finished runner-up twice and won once on his last three outings under today's jockey. Partnership were successful over an extended 2m4f here on good-to-firm ground a month ago and he's interesting off a 4lb higher mark in this.

Fair effort in finishing fourth on hurdling debut at Chepstow (good) over 2m last month. Well beaten in two subsequent starts in maiden hurdles but has a good amateur booked for a yard going well (2/8) upped in trip for his handicap debut today.

Winner over an extended 2m5f at Fontwell (good) under today's jockey last time out. Upped 6lb for that success he's an interesting runner having won off higher marks for this yard in the past.

Forecasts

Romeo Americo (5/2), Bostin (3/1), Phare Isle (3/1), Lime Street (5/1), Oliver's Island (11/2), The Game Is A Foot (8/1), Kayflin (12/1)

Verdict

OLIVER'S ISLAND is an interesting contender upped to this trip for the first time for his handicap debut and he is taken to register a first success here. Jamie Snowden's charge has run well under today's useful amateur rider in the past and is the least exposed horse in this contest. Romeo Americo has been in good form of late winning here over shorter last time and he can claim second ahead of another last time out winner in the shape of Bostin.
