Four-time AW winner hasn't been in great form lately. Handicap continues to fall so disappointing if he isn't competitive in the near future.

Unsuccessful since landing an AW double back in March. Handicap at present is of interest but recent form far from inspiring.

Won three time this year including over C&D back in January. Below par in three starts to date after a layoff so more required to get competitive again.

Just the three races to date and promising on debut back in February before subsequent eight month absence. First handicap start here and not set an impossible task by any means.

Back to same mark as his AW win in January at Southwell. Midfield at Yarmouth latest after five month absence but with fitness now boosted he looks a leading player here.

Past course and distance winner and now back to last winning mark after four subdued efforts. Each-way chance although her form at present hardly inspiring.

Made the frame for the first time of her 27-race career when third over C&D latest. Not seen since however and hardly the sort to pin hopes on.

Have to go all the way back to October 2014 to find his last win. Best recent efforts come here but hard to get excited about form overall and he is 2lb out of the handicap.

Maiden of 12 starts making her first start of 2017 and for this trainer. 2lb out of the handicap so question marks aplenty.

Forecasts

Scotch Myst (11/4), Viva Verglas (4/1), Vroom (5/1), Ambitious Boy (6/1), Kyllach Me (8/1), Captain Bond (8/1), Wedgewood Estates (12/1), Tally's Song (16/1), Beau Mistral (20/1), Fred's Filly (100/1)

Verdict

Richard Fahey's SCOTCH MYST has the most compelling claims here based on an encouraging reappearance on turf and he should be more than capable back off his last winning mark on the AW. Lightly raced Captain Bond rates a clear danger with every possibility of improvement in his first handicap. Viva Verglas is one of several who make appeal from a handicap perspective despite being out of form.
