Stripped much fitter for a turf comeback run returned to Tapeta here over a furlong further running right up to his best. Stayed on well to lead close home but has proved vulnerable in the past off marks like this.

Not seen out for a while with his last two runs having come on the AW (well-held here last time). Now returns from a long break still above his last winning mark. Often travels well in his races but doesn't find much off the bridle.

Course winner but attempting to overcome a very long absence starting life with a new yard. Often slowly away and can only be watched for now.

Remains a maiden but may not have been seen in the best of lights in her last two runs. Given a very negative ride last time and given a lot to do and may be able to do better with some more positive tactics.

Cheekpieces go on for the first time stepped back up in trip after trying 6f for the first time last time. Offered little and went with minimal enthusiasm; not hard to leave alone.

A regular visitor here she looks at home on the surface but remains a maiden with the trips she has been running over (including this one) looking to sharp. Likely to get going too late again over this trip and wants further.

Still a maiden (like many in this field) although she did run one of her better races last time over 1m2f at Chelmsford in a lowly 0-50. Down in trip and up in class here and that doesn't offer much hope for breaking his maiden; cheekpieces now go on

Offered very little on her first outing since she left Mark Brisbourne although she has won over C&D in the past. Hard to fancy here given that rather lack-lustre run last time.

Second run back from wind surgery having been well held in a selling handicap here over 1m4f on his debut for this yard. Showed very little prior to his surgery/move and still a maiden after 13 starts; hopes pinned on a first-time visor.

This will be her third run back from a long absence but she's shown as little in those two previous runs as she did prior to the break. Career record now reads 0/12 with help now sort from first-time cheekpieces.

Found 6f on the Fibresand far too short last time but is only modest in any case and has yet to win a race. Might find this trip more suitable but usually spoils her chance by being very slowly away.

Forecasts

Windsorlot (2/1), Billy Bond (7/2), Noneedtotellme (7/2), Joys Delight (15/2), Our Kim (15/2), Shamonix (22/1), Home Again (22/1), Moonbi Creek (25/1), Pivotal Dream (25/1), Madakheel (33/1), Orobas (66/1)

Verdict

Hardly much strength in depth here with the majority of the field yet to win a race. WINDSORLOT may well be able to get away with a mark this high in company this weak having won here three weeks ago. Billy Bond has at least won a race and despite the long absence he could well go close given that he usually travels well in his races. Joys Delight was given a lot to do this time and if she is given a more positive ride would have a much better chance while Noneedtotellme may well find this trip too sharp once more before running on into the places.
