Has plummeted in the weights following a string of poor efforts. Now 13lb below his last winning mark from a year ago and a change of headgear is tried.

Still a maiden after 13 starts and was beaten when hampered last time. Continues to look attractively weighted but a wide draw is unlikely to help her settle any better.

12/1
Narrow winner over C&D in February 2016 but has been fighting a losing battle with the handicapper since. Two runs back from an absence have been on turf but much better suited to AW surfaces. Handicapper has now dropped him 5lb since his last AW run and visor goes back on.

Won here as a juvenile but has been below the form he showed for David Barron on two starts for his new yard. Up in trip and new headgear applied. Record at the trip is 0-9 and best recent efforts have come at Southwell.

Recent performances have been lacklustre during a period when the yard's horses have struggled for form. Now 2lb higher than his latest success in January and arrives at a track where he has a poor record with just one placed effort in five appearances.

Remains a maiden after 17 starts but has been unlucky in last two C&D starts. Went down by a nose here in March and then ran into an improving type who has scored again since. Yard are 0-31 in last four weeks.

10-race maiden who finished tailed off last time. Performed a little better with a tongue-tie in three of her starts as a three-year-old. Of more interest now that equipment returns and up in trip on a track which has produced her career best performance.

8/1
Best recent performances have been on tapeta but has run well on this surface previously. Has slipped to a mark 15lb below his latest victory in July 2015. Has recently joined a yard that have been in good form with a 4-12 record in the last fortnight. Can take a good hold and gets stronger handling here with a tough draw likely to make settling him tougher.

Two best efforts came over a mile last autumn including here when coming from a long way off the pace. Has since beaten over a longer trip in a seller and then when switched to sprinting last time. Yard are 1-70 with runners on the Flat.

10/1
Two of his three wins have come around here although he does appear more effective over shorter trips. Recent efforts offer little encouragement that he can take advantage of a dropping handicap mark.

Offered a bit more last time and will get stronger handing here. Current form of stable is a concern as they are without a winner on the Flat this year and last nine runners have been well beaten.

Winless after 14 races and only irregular signs of possessing ability. Switches to the polytrack for the first time and looks risky despite the stable going well at present.

Would not be out of this on 2014 form, but the evidence since her return indicates that she is nowhere near that level.

C&D winner for previous yard and has deteriorated rapidly over her last five starts. Blinkers need to have a dramatic effect.

Forecasts

Home Again (4/1), Misu Pete (9/2), Shamlan (6/1), Daydream (6/1), Sir Jamie (7/1), Disclosure (8/1), Humour (10/1), Caledonian Gold (12/1), Majestic Girl (12/1), Cookie Ring (12/1), Suzi Icon (20/1), Autumn Tonic (20/1), Whaleweigh Station (20/1), Deftera Fantutte (33/1), Tamarin (33/1), Ashford Island (50/1)

Verdict

It is hard to be positive about many in this. Disclosure represents a yard in form and for whom the market has been a positive indicator. Home Again is proving difficult to win with and the stable have not been in good form recently. DAYDREAM has been well beaten on both starts for her new trainer but she now gets to race under optimum conditions with the booking of a good claimer further catching the ye.
