Ran well back on turf at Doncaster last time (7f, good to firm) from 1lb lower and has generally been in good form in all three starts this spring. Steps back up in trip for this and the same stamina doubts remain as has previously been the case.

6f Ripon maiden winner a couple of years ago but has been unable to cut the mustard in handicaps, showing only brief glimpses of ability and threatening to add to that win only once at Newcastle in October from 2lb higher. Coming back to form last time and with this pilot booked he could go close.

7f Brighton winner last June (good to firm) from 6lb lower when with Richard Hughes and is proven over this trip despite not yet winning at it. Has been competitive in defeat from this mark and should go well.

7f Lingfield maiden handicap winner in January from 6lb lower, but only just held from today's mark over C&D last time (good to firm). Also acts on slow side of good and has to enter calculations.

It's been a while since he recorded the last of his four successes and has one here to his name (7f, good to firm) from 2014. Now 9lb lower than that latest victory and went close from this mark at Chelmsford in October. Not without claims.

Both wins have been on the All Weather over this trip, including last time at Chelmsford from 4lb lower. Unknown quantity on turf given that only his debut has been contested on it and therefore cannot be ruled out.

7/2
Has three successes to her name from 1m-1m1½f, including over C&D and 1m1f here last season. Goes into this 1lb lower than the best of those and showed signs of a revival back here last time. Looks a leading player.

Forecasts

Rustique (7/2), Ross Raith Rover (9/2), Athollblair Boy (9/2), Samphire Coast (5/1), Gulland Rock (6/1), Tommy's Secret (7/1), Langham (15/2), King Oswald (10/1), Castle Talbot (11/1), Mulled Wine (20/1), Lemon Thyme (50/1)

Verdict

Athollblair Boy showed signs of a return to form last time and with the former champion up he looks interesting today. Castle Talbot should also be competitive from this mark, while Langham, Tommy's Secret, Ross Raith Rover and King Oswald are others with some sort of claim. However, the suggestion is RUSTIQUE, who loves it here and is on a good mark.
