Couldn't build on the early promise he showed for Saeed bin Suroor, and has plenty of questions to answer for this new trainer having been gelded.

Trip and ground should both be fine for her, and is up 3lb for winning at 33/1 at Wolverhampton last time. Should go well on this return to turf.

Steps back down in trip having won over further than 1m4f at Newcastle last time out. Has had the tactical pace for this trip in the past but could probably do with a bit further these days, especially on such a flat track.

Hasn't had the most racing for his age but form from last couple of seasons is generally working out well and if overcoming a lay-off since last June he can't be ruled out.

Won in similar conditions at Pontefract in September off 1lb lower than this, but difficult to be enthusiastic about his form since.

The best of his recent runs came in similar conditions to this on turf at Doncaster two starts ago, and off just 3lb higher the course and draw should both be fine for him.

3/1
Hat-trick seeker who has won his last two races over C&D. Up markedly in the weights but looks very progressive and every chance he can take another step forward despite the likely softer ground.

33/1
All career victories have come over shorter than this on a sounder surface, so this looks a big ask before even considering his recent poor form.

14 time winner in his career but not getting any younger, not to mention the fact he has an absence since December 2016 to overcome here.

8/1
Two runs in handicap company so far have both been solid, and the ground shouldn't be an issue off the same mark he ran well off last time out.

Far from the easiest to win with, with his only career victory having come way back in August 2015. Tough to build a case for on stable debut despite going close two starts back.

Forecasts

Punkawallah (3/1), Rainbow Rebel (5/1), Splash Around (6/1), Stonific (13/2), Copper Baked (7/1), Doctor Cross (8/1), Royal Shaheen (9/1), Maghfoor (12/1), Mikmak (25/1), Pumaflor (33/1), Bounderby (33/1), Marcret (50/1)

Verdict

The hat-trick seeking Punkawallah is of obvious interest given his form and record here, but he's taken a sizable hike up the weights and preference is for STONIFIC. He ran well in similar conditions to this at Doncaster two starts ago and off 3lb higher should be able to run another big race in potentially an easier contest. Copper Baked is another for the shortlist after springing a surprise at Wolverhampton last time out.
  1. Stonific
