5/2
Last time out winner at Windsor over 5f but stays this far as well, a 4lb rise seems fair and he should be competitive once again, especially given the recent improvement that he has shown.

7/2
Only 1lb above his only winning mark to date and hasn't been running badly lately, though perhaps not quite so well enough to suggest that he has a handicap of this nature in him in the near future. Others hold more convincing claims.

3/1
Remains a maiden but has run especially well recently, and seems just as effective over this trip compared to 7f. On the same mark as when running a fair race at Brighton last time, and will enjoy this switch back to the Polytrack.

8/1
Hasn't shown her best since starting off in handicap company nor since switching to this yard, but is down 3lb from when not completely disgraced in a better race last time, so she may be able to place at least.

Sole win to date came in selling company, but he is slowly working his way down to what should be a competitive mark for him, though he is possibly slightly more effective over the minimum trip.

5/1
On the same mark as when well beaten at Kempton last time out (7f, standard to slow), but can do better for the drop to this trip, which he appears to prefer. Still looking at a place at best, however.

Well beaten in three maidens and no better when stepping up in trip on handicap debut at Wolverhampton last time out. Dropped 4lb but plenty more still required.

Back down to sprint distances in a first time visor having failed to improve for a recent step up to longer trips. Yet to show any serious promise and is easily passed over once again.

Zavikon (5/2), Seprani (3/1), Kings Heart (7/2), Sixties Habana (5/1), Baby Gal (8/1), Shelneverwalkalone (12/1), Billy's Boots (16/1), Texas Wedge (25/1), Embleton (66/1)

Verdict

Last time out winner ZAVIKON may provide the answer here. Richard Hughes' colt is raised a fair 4lb for that victory at Windsor, and though that was over the minimum trip all indications are that 6f should be fine for him as well, and he comes into the race in good form and looking progressive. Seprani remains a maiden but is sure to appreciate this return to the Polytrack, while Baby Gal lacks the quality to win here, but may be capable of making up the numbers in the winners enclosure.
