Success at Brighton (1m, good) off this mark in September last year and placed over the same C&D later that month. Held since and returning from a break today.

Best effort in three starts came when finishing fourth of 12 over 6f here in November. Unraced since and worth a check in the market upped in trip on handicap debut.

12 race maiden but made a pleasing debut for this yard when finishing runner-up over C&D recently. Races off the same mark today and is one for the shortlist in this contest.

Well held in two starts since finishing a close fourth over 7f at Wolverhampton in February. Cheekpieces worn for the first time last time out are replaced with blinkers today.

Improving with racing this year and caught the eye when beaten just a neck off this mark when a fast finishing runner-up over C&D last time out. Likely to run well again today.

Placed twice this AW season and ran well over a trip (1m3f) that probably stretches her stamina at Kempton in February. Wears a visor for the first time today.

Pleasing debut for this yard when finishing 2L second over an extended 1m at Wolverhampton recently. Drop in trip not certain to suit today.

Beaten just 2L when making her handicap and stable debut over 1m at Chelmsford on her return from a lengthy absence recently. Interesting to see how she fares today.

Out of form since joining this stable and well held over C&D last week. Others make more appeal in this contest.

Forecasts

Rattle On (5/2), False Id (4/1), De Little Engine (7/1), Sir Jamie (8/1), Divine Messenger (8/1), Ixelles Diamond (8/1), With Approval (12/1), How's Lucy (12/1), Red Sniper (20/1), Caius College Girl (100/1)

Verdict

DE LITTLE ENGINE ran well on debut for this yard last time out and a repeat of that can see him taking this opening handicap. The selection has a good draw in stall six today and is taken to get the better of Rattle On who finished a close second here last time. The drop in trip should suit Ixelles Diamond and the visored runner can finish third on this occasion.
  1. De Little Engine

  3. Ixelles Diamond
