Losing run is mounting up but is falling in the weights as a result. Best effort for a while when sixth at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) last time. Down another pound and not totally discounted.
Been running well so far this year and only beaten a length at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) on first turf start 11 days ago. Drops back in trip here and likely to give it another bold go from the front.
Back-to-back wins at Wolverhampton and Chelmsford over this trip before stuggling off higher mark the last twice. Another that likes to go forward and competition for the lead here.
Led and picked up late doors on both his last two starts at Windsor and Pontefract over this trip. Plenty of pace on here and not guaranteed to suit but a player all the same.
Showed improved form to get off the mark over 5f last year at Winsor and wasn't seen again after that run. Looked badly in need of the run in two outings so far this year. Hood goes on first time but may find this all happening too quickly.
A five time winner over C&D and this could very much be run to suit. Won't want to miss the kick like last time but with so much pace on here but should be suited by how this pans out and a big player.

Forecasts
Jack The Truth (2/1), Jashma (11/4), Roundabout Magic (3/1), Dragstone Rock (3/1), Arzaak (6/1), Midnightly (8/1), Hollander (33/1)
This is likely to be run at a real clip with several prominent racers up against each other here. Every chance a few will take each other on and this could fall in to the lap of ROUNDABOUT MAGIC who has won over C&D five times and can add to that tally today. Jack The Truth is a player and Arzaak is starting to look well handicapped.
