Course winner with that win coming over 7f just over a year ago off a mark that was 10lb higher. He's run with credit since then although he did turn in a poor effort last time but he ought to be able to run his race in this lowly grade.

Generally runs his race but he's not totally convincing with his attitude of late and remains one to take care with. Always appear to travel well before finding little and did just that over C&D last time out.

Makes his handicap debut now having shown some questionable form in three maidens although he may have shown a little ability last time out but the ground will be very different this time. Doesn't scream out to be one that will improve for going handicapping.

Has a least managed to win a race but that came in the lowest grade handicap that you can find on her AW debut. That form isn't working out and the three subsequent runs have shown very little improvement.

4/1
Despite running some sound enough races she has shown on her last few starts why she remains a maiden (0/16) often looking less than straightforward under pressure. Ran poorly over C&D last time off 1lb higher and not one to trust implicitly.

9/4
Like a few in this field he remains a maiden although he did look a little unlucky over further on his penultimate start at this course (winner got first run). Ran poorly in a claimer last time but must have a good chance back here based on his penultimate run.

8/1
Managed to stall a long losing run last time out over 7f here and this three-time course winner generally runs his race here. His usual headgear was left off last time and is again here but he's never looked a solid candidate to follow up his last win.

Not really shown anything on the Flat (tried over hurdles last time) when running in a mixture of maidens and handicaps. Not really one to be interested in even in this bargain basement grade.

Forecasts

De Vegas Kid (9/4), With Approval (10/3), Lawfilly (4/1), Alketios (7/1), Lutine Charlie (8/1), Arquus (12/1), Ambuscade (12/1), Performance Art (25/1), Turaathy (25/1)

Verdict

We are dealing with almost the bottom run of the handicapping ladder here and some of these can’t all any further with Lutine Charlie not really looking one to build on his win last time it may well pay to give a chance to WITH APPROVAL who now features 10lb below his last winning mark. Lawfilly for all her relative consistency doesn’t really look a winning waiting to happen and De Vegas Kid who looked unlucky here on his penultimate run is preferred. Aleketios usually travels well in his races and is sure to catch the eye only to flatter to deceive once again.
