Much improved for the fitting of headgear and has now scored twice on AW tracks. Yet to encounter ground this soft since his debut and sire's progeny are generally better on faster surfaces.

Beaten an aggregate of 98L on his last two starts and a visor goes on. Hard to recommend here with the ground an additional concern.

Made a promising start to his handicap career off this mark last month when being denied by just a head at Lingfield on yielding ground. Very possibly still improving and has to have a big chance in what appears to be a similar quality race.

Won a poor Brighton maiden last term and the handicapper is just beginning to evaluate him more accurately. Has looked a tricky ride and tackles a trip his pedigree suggests may be too far.

Regular around here and a winner over slightly further last summer. Made to look one paced last time in similar conditions and he would appear to be a better horse on quicker ground than forecast.

Has done little to justify the 180,000 gns connections paid for him and gelded since his latest start. Makes his handicap debut against more moderate opposition and rider is 6-19 for the stable. Looks worth checking for a market move.

Sole win came almost four years ago. Having first run for new stable and has plenty to find on form. Needs to prove his effectiveness on soft ground and others make more appeal.

Verdict

Many of these have questions to answer so it may prove best to rely on RETRIBUTION. The lightly raced gelding recently produced his best effort on his handicap debut. A 5lb rise may seem harsh but with scope to improve that should be less of a concern. Free Forum is an expensive purchase making his handicap debut. The jockey booking suggests he is one to note in pre-race trading. Seven Clans arrives in form following a good spell on the AW. He will find conditions far more testing here but would obviously go close if handling them.
