3/1
Irish raider who is a very consistent sort. Won from a higher mark than this at Wolverhampton last year and this is less competitive than some of the races he's been running in at Dundalk of late. Hard to beat.

Some promise in one of his maiden runs in 2015 but has shown very little since in both codes and still waiting to get his head in front. Starts out for a new yard and the wait likely to go on a little longer.

7/1
Has found some form on the AW this year as so many do when switching to this yard. However, his habit of starting slowly is an obvious concern, particularly at this course and he's hardly straightforward. Others preferred.

7/4
Has shown a few bits of promise in maidens but this son of Frankel likely to do much better this year upped in trip. Makes his first start for a yard that have been flying on the AW this campaign and he's worth noting. Wears a first-time tongue-tie.

7/1
Just one win from 22 starts but that did come here and he tends to run his better races at this course. Struggled to get cover at Lingfield last time and likely to be doing his best work in the finish here. Smart 5lb claimer takes the ride.

5/1
Beaten favourite here when last season but an impressive C&D winner the time before. Not always sharp from the stalls but claims if he breaks on terms and can get an easy lead.

12/1
Yet to manage as much as a place in any of starts in either sphere. Not shown much over hurdles lately and opposable on his return to the Flat, even with the Champion Jockey back in the saddle.

Forecasts

Captor (7/4), Temasek Star (3/1), Volturnus (5/1), Marshall Aid (7/1), Di's Gift (7/1), Charlie Chaplin (12/1), Smooth Operator (22/1)

Verdict

The consistent TEMASEK STAR will find this easier than many of his recent assignments and he gets the vote ahead of Captor who is an interesting recruit on handicap debut. Marshall Aid may prove best of the rest despite his patchy win-rate.
  1. Temasek Star
  2. Captor
  3. Marshall Aid
