76-rated handicapper for Ralph Beckett and off the mark for current connections at Ffos Las in September. Worth a market check.

Twice finished second on the AW in Britain last year in maidens at up to 1m5f. Not beaten far in a couple of handicaps here recently and should be thereabouts at the business end of proceedings.

One from 13 here and without a win for over 12-months off a 12lb higher mark. Will need to raise overall performance to play a role here.

Course winner on four occasions which includes a sole win over C&D. Handicapper starting to relent and place claims now 4lb lower than last winning mark.

Won three in a row on AW for Mark Johnston a couple of winters ago but hasn't won since and well beaten in a couple of more recent AW starts here earlier this month. Plenty to prove at present.

Winner of no less than six C&D contests the most recent of which came 12-months ago off a similar mark. Not seen since August but not entirely ruled out.

Made it two from two over C&D earlier this month when landing the spoils from Rips Dream - winner here Wednesday - and looks on course for the hat-trick, despite being 15lb higher than first victory.

C&D winner on three occasions and the gelding showed he was still in good shape when finishing second of 13 here over 1m4f earlier in the month. Capable of a decent run.

Generally well held in three starts since winning a Ballinrobe, 14-runner handicap in June off a 10lb lower mark. First time cheekpieces unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

Caught the eye on AW debut here when finishing third of 10 beaten 1L behind Leaderboard last month over 1m4f. Well held since and needs to improve on even his best form.

C&D winner but remains one from 11 here. Hurdling lately and first-time visor unlikely to bring about the required amount of progression needed to land a blow here.

Without a win in four appearances here but has hit the frame on three occasions. Open to improvement up in trip and back at this venue.

Losing run now dates back to 2016. Overall form in four appearances here over the years doesn't warrant support.

Well beaten and no impression in either of the gelding first two starts here in the last 30 days. Liable to find a couple stronger.

Too Precious (13/8), California Lad (6/1), Marine One (7/1), Syndicate (8/1), Carried (10/1), Easy Pass (12/1), Mcguigan (12/1), Itsalonglongroad (14/1), Sharjah (14/1), Thomas O'Malley (16/1), Saga Altais (16/1), Dayereh (16/1), Secret Wizard (20/1), Vastonea (25/1), Bibliotheca (33/1), Isharah (50/1), Fivehundredmiles (50/1)

Verdict

The Joseph O'Brien-trained TOO PRECIOUS made it two from two over C&D earlier this month when landing the spoils from Rips Dream, a winner here on Wednesday, and can land the hat-trick given the manner of the wins and current form. Four-time course winner, Carried is now below last winning mark and is capable of hitting the frame here along with California Lad and the top-weight, Syndicate.
