Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Louis Steward| T: M L W Bell| OR: 71

3/1

Good effort when finishing runner-up over this trip at Kempton in January on final start for Marjorie Fie. One to note on his debut for a new yard.

Winner of six of his 44 starts to date but held the last twice including over C&D on his return from a break. Probably best watched at present.

Frozen Lake^p1¹²

9/2

In good form so far in 2018 following up a Kempton victory over this trip with two second's including at the same venue last time out. Wears cheekpieces for the first time and is one for the shortlist following a 3lb rise in the weights.

Form: 98-0122

Natalie Express^h⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: K Shoemark| T: H Spiller| OR: 66| CD

Winning for the first time on the AW when successful over C&D in January. Ran well to finish third over 1m here following a 2lb rise subsequently and races off the same mark today.

Mister Freeze^t,v²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Joey Haynes| T: P R Chamings| OR: 64| D

10/1

Dual winner on Fibresand at Southwell including over this trip last time out. Effective on this surface too having finished runner-up over 1m here prior to that and he is an interesting runner today.

Form: 27-0531

Clement^v¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: R Havlin| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 61| CD

10/1

Some fair efforts in defeat this year but held on his last three outings and likely more needed if he's to record an eighth career success today.

Form: 044867

Forecasts

Interlink (3/1), Sea Shack (4/1), Frozen Lake (9/2), Tavener (9/2), Clement (10/1), Natalie Express (10/1), Mister Freeze (10/1), Black Caesar (12/1)

FROZEN LAKE has been running well of late and he can defy a 3lb rise for his latest placed effort by taking this 7f handicap. John O'Shea's charge was a winner at Kempton three starts back and looks capable of getting the better of his rivals today with Natalie Express taken to claim second having won over this C&D in the past. Mister Freeze showed his liking for this venue on his penultimate outing and can claim third today.
