Without a win in three starts over this trip, seven time career winner, with her last couple of victories coming here over 7f. Unlikely to play a part in the finish.

Won twice at Dundalk before the end of last year but seemingly held by the handicapper subsequently since joining this yard. Has been running well so not without place claims.

7/1
AW specialist who has won three times at this course including last time out. While he's still feasibly handicapped, he's never won over this far and may prove vulnerable to those with more stamina.

6/1
Two of his three wins have come at this course over 7f but on a losing run at present. Placed behind Malaysian Boleh last time and gets a useful swing in the weights but not the most straightforward type.

4/1
Gained just his second win at Wolverhampton last time but ran well here the time before when placed. Still feasibly handicapped from just 3lb higher and every chance in this if he can build on his most recent performances.

Ended a very long losing run over C&D three starts back but had very little in hand and has struggled twice subsequently. Not consistent and opposable here.

Hinted at ability in three starts for her previous trainer but returning from a significant absence for stable/handicap debut and probably best watched.

Yet to place in eight starts but did run well at the start of last season in Irish maidens. Showed nothing subsequently though and work to do from out of the handicap on stable debut.

Forecasts

No Approval (3/1), The King's Steed (4/1), Mr Potter (6/1), Favorite Story (6/1), Touch The Clouds (7/1), Malaysian Boleh (7/1), Red Sniper (9/1), Hipz (11/1)

Verdict

THE KING'S STEED has seemingly found some consistency and he's still on a workable mark after his win last time out. No Approval has been running well without getting his head in front this year and may prove to be the main danger. Mr Potter may prove best of the rest given all his best form is at this course.
  1. The King's Steed
  2. No Approval
  3. Mr Potter
