Held on recent return to action at Leicester but has now dropped below previous winning mark and isn't to be ruled out in this sphere.

Another that has not seen the winner's enclosure for a significant period of time. Rating continues to slide down however so could figure of taking to this venue.

Handicap debut at Southwell over 1m in December off 70 was promising but has struggled greatly since then. Comes down in trip and tongue strap applied here.

Has been supported in recent starts at Brighton and Windsor over this trip and not far off without looking like winning. Gets another 2lb relief now and is respected.

Unplaced in nine career starts and very disappointing at Wolverhampton last time in similar contest over extended mile. Doesn't stand out as a likely winner despite drop in trip.

Has been struggling on the AW this year and now must return to turf off 10lb higher mark, hardly making task any easier.

Won around here over a mile in August, was competitive off this sort of rating towards the back end of last season. Potentially won't want rattling fast ground.

Twice a winner on turf last summer over 7f, remains 3lb higher than most recent winning mark and hasn't sparkled in two runs this season.

Out of form at the end of last year, drops significantly back in trip for reappearance and a long time since he encountered a trip this sharp. Best watched on seasonal bow.

Achieved sole win in 19 starts to date on AW at Lingfield over 7f in March from a mark of 46. Only beaten one rival home in two further AW starts off increased mark since and hard to fancy now.

Filly has yet to score in ten starts and faces more problems in this with her being 8lb wrong in the handicap currently. Stiff ask.

Forecasts

Mezzotint (5/1), Danecase (6/1), Edge (6/1), Panther Patrol (6/1), Gatillo (7/1), Intimately (10/1), Rafaaf (10/1), Take A Note (10/1), Locommotion (11/1), Frantical (12/1), Pc Dixon (12/1), Flying Sakhee (33/1)

Verdict

PANTHER PATROL has been supported in a couple of recent runs and, while not able to record a win, hasn't been far off the pace. With another 2lb relief now, he might be able to take a race where there are plenty with questions to answer. Top-weight Danecase is back below his previous winning mark and could go well while Gatillo, Mezzotint and Intimately are other that would feature if putting things together.
