Not far away at all off this mark at Lingfield last time out and has previously won over C&D. Has a fair draw here as well so makes plenty of appeal.

Beaten by Chevallier last month and is slightly better off at the weights now. This is an easier race than his last two assignments and he is drawn to run very well indeed at a course he likes (5-11 overall record).

C&D winner who has been outclassed in some very good handicaps in his most recent starts last summer. Off since August now and has a bit to prove on return to AW/this level of competition.

Drew a blank in seven races in Ireland last year and now moves to Britain for a new trainer. All wins over further and could be done for tactical pace in this contest.

Carries a 6lb penalty for winning at Kempton on Wednesday, but has shown pleny of progression over the past few months so can't be discounted if reappearing here.

Behind Chevallier two starts back and ran to a similar level at Chelmsford last time. Stays this far but potentially notable that he has only ever won over shorter.

Fair overall strike-rate for a handicapper, but well-beaten by Spare Parts at Kempton last time and has always struggled at this level.

Verdict

Spare Parts has just kept improving this winter and can't be ruled out from doing so again, so is respected under a 6lb penalty for winning at Kempton on Wednesday. Preference, though, is for MY TARGET. He has a very good record at this course, and is slightly better off at the weights with Chevallier, who beat him by under two lengths the last time they met. That re-opposing rival may be the biggest danger again after going close over C&D earlier in the month.
