Said to like flat tracks which may explain some indifferent performances around here. Others make more a lot more appeal.
Surprised connections when winning on ground softer than ideal at Fontwell. Up 15lb for that and facing stronger competition.
Has undergone wind surgery since his close defeat by a well-handicapped rival last time. Has been improved by fitting a hood but another 5lb rise makes this difficult
Like many from this yard this term his form is something of a mixed bag. Claims on his penultimate run but he did not appear to relish the task last time.
Form of his Sedgefield victory amounts to little and his limitations have been exposed since. Hard to fancy off this mark.
Winner of three Flat races in the Czech Republic before joining current yard. Finally showed some ability on his latest start, but there were a few wayward moments too. Will be helped by the better ground and a drop into low grade handicap company.
Could be considered well-handicapped on old form, but he is without a win since 2015 and he would prefer it a lot softer than forecast.
The ground would have been to blame for a poor effort on his return two weeks ago, but he is a winner on good ground off 2lb lower in November. Can be let down by his jumping and he may vulnerable to a less exposed rival.
Has proved rather one paced to date and has been beaten a fair way in all his starts. Needs to improve drastically.
Has failed to see out 2m4f in novice events but now makes her handicap debut over shorter and on better ground. Precautionary check on the market is advised.
Yet to be involved in a finish and there were few positives to be taken from his handicap debut. Better ground may help and a precautionary check of the market is advisable.

Forecasts
Hollywood Ken (11/4), Delface (4/1), Marmont (9/2), Way Out West (13/2), Captain Jack (10/1), Nabhan (11/1), Global Thrill (12/1), Dont Be Robin (14/1), Alexander The Grey (14/1), Navajo War Dance (14/1), Goal (14/1), Sanok (14/1), Dusky Raider (14/1), Court Duty (20/1), Owners Day (20/1), Cascaye (25/1), Lara Trot (33/1), Cappielow Park (66/1)
There are a few in this who are open to improvement on this ground with Court Duty, Lara Trot and Sanok making most appeal of those falling into that category. Alexander The Grey has the ability to win at this level and his yard have been going well recently. Navajo War Dance has given the impression there is better to come and the fitting of headgear after wind surgery may be the catalyst for that to happen. On this occasion a final chance is given to CAPTAIN JACK whose novice form suggests he is well-handicapped. He was hampered on his handicap debut and this may be his day with better ground to help
