Investec Private Banking Handicap

Won three times last year but just struggling a little to get his head in front this time around. Wouldn't want any rain to arrive, step up in trip not certain to suit and others probably better handicapped.

40/1 winner at Yarmouth in September and followed that up with an easy win at that same course on final start of 2016. Only just denied in Listed company on his reappearance and very much respected back in a handicap.

Smart debut winner and not disgraced in the Derby trial at Lingfield last time on his second start this season. Looks on a fair mark and he's the type to do better as the season progresses but he doesn't always settle well in his races.

Narrowly got up at Chelmsford last time and while the front two finished clear, the runner-up and the horse back in third have failed to frank the form since so he may struggle off 8lb higher.

Probably in need of his comeback run at Bath and backed that up with a smart win here last time over 1m½f. 6lb higher but local trainer does well around here and this jockey rides the course well; should go well with the step back up in trip sure to suit.

Has run to a consistent level in three maidens to date but likely to find this tougher off a stiff looking mark on handicap debut.

Bounced back to form at Ascot last time, running on strongly in the final stages of the contest to score at 33/1. Probably not been the easiest to train and doesn't look a straightforward sort in his race (can often take a keen hold or miss the break) but no doubt he's capable and 4lb rise looks a little on the lenient side.

Keen going sort who got his head back in front when returned to Nottingham last time. Shapes like this step up in trip will suit and he's versatile ground wise so has to be considered if he can settle a little better.
