7/4
Relatively consistent minimum-trip specialist who is raised 5lb for a win at Lingfield last time (5f, good). That seems a little harsh but he did showcase great ability that day an could have more to offer.

11/4
10-time winner but no handicap victory since March 2015 (sole win since came in claiming company), and has switched trainer twice in that time. Difficult to fancy.

4/1
Has been repeatedly going close recently, with three second-placed finishes in a row, all surmounting to form which seems fair enough. Slight concern (though no surprise) to see his handicap mark creeping up, however.

7/2
Up 3lb for a victory last time in a similar race to this quality-wise, though in a larger field. That seems like a fair increase and there should be more to come from her over a trip she has proven very effective over.

16/1
Couldn't overcome a rise in the weights at Bath last time having won well at Yarmouth the time before, and still cannot be ruled out now 5lb higher than that winning mark on ground that should be fine for him.

Forecasts

Zipedeedodah (7/4), Come On Dave (11/4), Flowing Clarets (7/2), Entertaining Ben (4/1), Hurricane Alert (16/1)

Verdict

This can go to FLOWING CLARETS, who has done all her best work over 5f so far and goes up a fair 3lb for a convincing victory in what looks a similar race to this at Lingfield last time. Zipedeedodah also won at that course last time out though a 5lb rise in the weights seems a bit much for what was hardly an easy wide-margin victory, while Entertaining Ben has been very good at finishing second recently and should get his head in front sooner rather than later.
  1. Flowing Clarets
  2. Zipedeedodah
  3. Entertaining Ben
