Winner off a 5lb higher mark at Kempton (good) 13 months ago. Well beaten in recent starts including when third in that same race when attempting to follow up last years success on his return to action last month.
Winner five times in his career but had just eight runs since winning a Listed handicap at Market Rasen (good-to-soft) in July 2014. Likely to strip fitter for his first run in over nine months over this C&D last month.
Run well on four of his five starts since joining this stable. Winner off a 9lb lower mark over 2m1f here on good-to-soft ground last month and likely to run well once more.
Registered a double over 2m5f & 3m last October but disappointed at Newbury subsequently. Ran well when 4L third of eight at Aintree (good) over 2m4f on his first run following a break last month and is an interesting runner here.
Had Forever My Friend behind him when finishing runner-up over 2m4f at Aintree (good) last time out. Races off a 1lb higher mark today and has the trip and ground to suit here.
Beaten ¾L when finishing runner-up over 2m3f at Market Rasen (good) earlier this month. Races from a long way out of the handicap here.
Forecasts
Altiepix (5/4), It's A Gimme (3/1), Dunraven Storm (9/2), Forever My Friend (8/1), Ashcott Boy (8/1), Accessallareas (28/1)
ALTIEPIX has been running well since joining this yard and can register a second success here following his victory over 2m1f at this track last month. of his rivals in this Dunraven Storm won off a higher mark than he races off here last year while Forever My Friend is another of interest dropping in trip today.
