C&D winner and got his head in front as recently as December at Lingfield, but effort here last time was very poor and he needs to leave that form a long way behind.

Rarely runs a bad race over 6f on the AW and is gradually making his way down the handicap to a dangerous looking mark. Holds place claims at least.

C&D winner here in September but all four runs since have left plenty to be desired, both over this trip and shorter. Others make more appeal.

Beaten less than a length over this trip at Wolverhampton last time and has also won over C&D in the past. In good form recently and a valuable 3lb is claimed off by this apprentice rider.

Second at Kempton last time was a good effort at a price, but she's on a long enough losing run now and is better on turf.

Well-beaten on just about all starts up to this point and needs to show plenty more off another career-low mark. Jockey booking a positive, however.

Forecasts

Haraz (9/4), Billyoakes (11/4), Monarch Maid (7/2), Black Truffle (7/2), Evanescent (4/1), Strictly Carter (6/1), Malaysian Boleh (8/1), Bop It (8/1), Fikhaar (12/1), Tisa River (33/1)

Verdict

A more open affair than the first division of this, where the suggestion is STRICTLY CARTER. This gelding has been performing well on his most recent starts on Polytrack and returns to that surface now. He acts over this trip and is drawn to go well, and therefore looks to be the one with the most going for him. Meanwhile Evanescent ran well at Lingfield last time and is another to consider, along with the potentially well treated Haraz.
