Bounced back to form in fine style last time out and he managed to win two on the spin last year, the latter of which came off a higher mark than this. Only up 3lb for his win and should go well again.

Running okay on the AW this year but one has to go back to 2014 for her last turf win and she's still above her highest winning mark. Set to struggle again.

5/2
Very effective when he gets an easy time on the front end but not guarenteed to get an easy lead and may struggle to get over to the rail from this draw. Never won off a mark this high and would probably want to see a fair amount of rain if he was to make a dent.

Only managed to score once in his last 42 starts. Plenty of seconds in that time and is a little more consistent than his record suggests but hard to argue he's well-handicapped in any way and will probably need his comeback run.

Losing run goes all the way back to 2014 and best efforts always came on softer ground than what he'll get here.

Two wins from 27 starts and not in much form towards the end of last year. Won a weak looking Chepstow race off a 2lb lower mark in August but this looks a whole lot more competitive.

9/2
Raced a little keenly on his return to turf earlier in the month and has only scored once in 19 turf starts. 8lb higher than that winning mark now but has showed a bit more for this yard than he had been doing for his previous trainer. Not discounted with top jockey in the saddle.

8/1
Very effective on his day as he showed at Yarmouth last time out when making all in game fashion but those days are few and far between and hadn't won since 2015 prior to that. On a very lenient mark if building on that win last time out but no certainty he will do that.

10/1
Not the easiest to predict and very unruly in the stalls when last seen at Kempton towards the back end of last year. Effective when he gets a strong pace to aim at and this jockey is well worth his 5lb claim; interesting runner, particularly if there's any market support.

Forecasts

Pettochside (5/2), Gold Club (9/2), Diamond Lady (6/1), Morache Music (15/2), Englishman (8/1), Picture Dealer (8/1), He's My Boy (10/1), Pour La Victoire (12/1), Gold Hunter (14/1), Joe Packet (25/1)

Verdict

PICTURE DEALER is well handicapped on his old form and there's a chance he'll be able to build on his win last time out at Yarmouth. The booking of Andrea Atzeni aboard Gold Club is eye-catching and it would be no surprise to see him run well again after a solid start for his new yard. Any market support for He's My Boy would be interesting.
