Heavily penalised for a 6L victory in November and comes here on a 7lb higher mark. Handicapper is relaxing his grip and respected with trainer in form. Young rider has partnered seven winners.

Needed every inch of the extended mile to get the better of Whispered Kiss at Wolverhampton. Should be close between the pair again although the topweight promises to be better suited by the drop in distance.

Has shaped well on last two C&D starts when finishing strongly having given himself plenty to do. Rider's claim is a benefit as he attempts to recover last week's losses in a first time hood.

Landed a gamble here last week when Swilly Sunset was 3L behind. Made all that day and needs to step up again to defy a 6lb penalty.

Has only made the frame once in 11 starts and that came in a strongly run race over a mile. Should get the gallop she requires but trip may be on the short side.

Suited to forcing tactics at this trip but faces competition for the lead from Moi Aussie. Best recent efforts have come at Chelmsford and last two wins have come from marks below 50.

Has tens wins in his career but isn't getting any younger and signs of wear and tear last time at Chelmsford over 7f, slowly away and never threatening to take a serious role.

Last win came in 2013 off an 18lb higher mark. Has dropped significantly since return from a two year break but a further three month absence raises concerns for wellbeing.

Forecasts

Moi Aussie (6/4), Swilly Sunset (11/4), Whispered Kiss (3/1), Caribbean Spring (15/2), Win Lose Draw (15/2), Rosie Crowe (12/1), The Special One (12/1), Monsieur Royale (22/1), The Happy Hammer (25/1)

Verdict

The presence of Moi Aussie and Rosie Crowe will ensure a good pace for this. That should suit The Special One and Swilly Sunset with the latter benefitting from his rider's claim as he bids to turn the tables on Moi Aussie. WHISPERED KISSis another likely beneficiary as she has been somewhat keen on her last couple of starts over a mile. A strongly run race over this trip ought to be ideal and she can continue her progress.
  1. Whispered Kiss
  2. Swilly Sunset
  3. Moi Aussie
