Off the mark at the second attempt when making her seasonal debut over 7f at Chester (good) earlier this month. Comfortable winner on that occasion and every chance she can defy an opening mark of 87 with a good draw on her handicap debut.

Broke his maiden over 7f at Lingfield in January but struggled when making his handicap debut off this mark at Newbury (good-to-firm) last month. Interesting to see how he fares from a poor draw on his return to the AW for this.

Ended his two-year-old campaign with a head victory over 6f here in November. Had finished third over this C&D prior to that and is an interesting runner on handicap debut.

Finished second in two runs in 2017 including when beaten a neck over 7f at Lingfield last time. Races off a 3lb higher mark today and others look better handicapped in this.

Verdict

GYMNASTE was the impressive winner of her second start in maiden company over this distance at Chester earlier this month and can get off the mark at the first time of asking in handicap company today. The selection is well drawn in stall four and she can get the better of Archer's Arrow who has shown remarkably consistency so far in his career and is wearing cheekpieces for the first time here. Of the remainder Sea Shack has finished second twice over this trip including here on his penultimate start and is likely to race close to the pace today.
