12/1
Winner of 16 races in a 123-race career to date the most recent of which came over 5f at Wolverhampton in December. Good effort to finish runner-up over the same C&D last time but work to do on these terms.

7/2
Saw off Swendab when winning over 5f at Wolverhampton last time out. Weighted to confirm that form over today's extra furlong and he is one for the shortlist today.

Successful over this trip at Kempton on his penultimate start and ran well to finish 2L fourth over C&D subsequently. Interesting to see how he fares today.

15/8
Finished runner-up twice during the autumn but held in handicap company on all four starts since returning from a break. Reproduction of those earlier efforts would see him hard to beat today.

Faced just two rivals when finishing runner-up in a similar race to this over C&D last month. Held in handicap company since and more needed today.

9/2
Well beaten on both starts since returning from a break. Placed in a couple of claiming contests last year but needs to return to form if he's to register a fifth career success.

Age: 5|  Weight: 8-13| J: Kieren Fox| T: M Pattinson| OR:  47
66/1
Dual winner but has proven a disappointment in seven starts since joining this stable and looks likely to struggle on today's terms.

Successful over this trip at Chelmsford in February but held off marks in the high 40's since and more needed if she's to take this contest.

Forecasts

Impart (15/8), Newstead Abbey (7/2), Strategic Heights (4/1), Mishaal (9/2), Swendab (12/1), Alkashaaf (14/1), Monarch Maid (20/1), Chip Or Pellet (66/1)

Verdict

The drop into claiming company can see IMPART get back to winning ways today. The selection has seen his handicap mark fall 8lb this year but a repeat of his second at Chelmsford in November can see him register a third career success today. Newstead Abbey was a winner last time out and having placed in a similar race to this the time before he can finish runner-up today while Strategic Heights looks the pick of the remainder.
