Is 14lb higher than when gaining sole turf win at Yarmouth over this trip in July, since scored twice on the AW including off 66. Form tailed off end of last year, might benefit from this run.

Off the mark at the 14th time of asking at Lingfield in March over 7f on AW, has been placed in both starts since including last month turf at Doncaster and should be in the thick of this.

Now a 14-race maiden, has posted some decent efforts but was below best at Kempton in November when last seen and a watching brief is prescribed for this reappearance run.

Runner-up finish in 6f maiden at Windsor in the autumn is watermark so far and hasn't been able to threaten so far in two handicaps. Drops another 2lb now.

Consistent sort who is regularly placed in handicaps without getting his head in front, flopped at Nottingham six days ago over this trip but can be forgiven a blip.

Not without market support in career to date but only placed once in 12 starts, latest when beaten 6L in 6f maiden handicap on AW at Lingfield in January. Not completely out of things.

Filly has had her issues in the past, decent effort when 4L fifth of nine at Yarmouth 15 days ago over 7f. Will have to build on that however and that is a big question mark.

Mostly disappointing in nine runs last year, though was third over the C&D in October, bit to prove on form all things considered.

Turf record stands at 0/27, which is a big concern, but ran an excellent race on the AW at Chelmsford ten days ago from a 6lb higher mark so has to be considered for this.

Just the one success from 28 starts, he isn't get any favours on these terms and was well beaten off over C&D last month.

Forecasts

Lucky Louie (11/4), Bingo George (5/1), Captain Marmalade (11/2), Many Dreams (7/1), Greyfriarschorista (10/1), Frozen Lake (10/1), Vincenzo Coccotti (11/1), Quintus Cerialis (11/1), Virile (12/1), Cloud Nine (14/1), Bella's Venture (16/1)

Verdict

LUCKY LOUIE has held his form since winning on the AW at Lingfield in March, including on return to turf at Doncaster last month. He's also got the aid of a very proficient claimer for this contest and, on form, looks one more of the more solid options. Greyfriarschorista was in useful form on the AW recently and is weighted to have a big say in this but a record of 0/27 on turf is off-putting. Cloud Nine would be in the mix if building on recent Yarmouth effort while Frozen Lake is also worth considering on form from Doncaster now in this grade. Virile is given a chance to bounce back last week's tame Nottingham show.
