Didn't manage to win for Ivan Furtado but shaped with promise on a couple of occasions. Well held at Wolverhampton on last start and dropped another 3lb. Needs more for new yard.

13-race maiden on the AW who has been beaten on five starts this season running between 7f to 1m2½f. Mark is tumbling but needs to up his game all the same.

Remains a maiden and not really progressing. Saddle slipped two starts back so that can be ignored. Not beaten all that far last time when back in 10th over C&D but more needed to be involved.

Having first run for this yard and for nine months when well held here over 1m4f last week. Quickly dropped 3lb and should be fitter but plenty more needed.

14-race maiden but has not been disgraced in a couple of efforts here including when beaten 3¾L last time over 7f. Market likely to be the best guide stepping up in trip.

Six-race maiden but her best effort came over 1m here in October. Not at her best over this C&D the last twice and others have stronger claims once more.

9/2
13-race maiden with eight defeats coming at this venue. Running well in defeat here last twice but liable to find a couple stronger in this.

Struggling for form in handicap hurdles of late and returns to the flat here. Sole flat win came back in 2015 and is 0-2 on the AW. Not on a bad mark.

Shown very little in three starts since back from a break. Cheekpieces had no effect last time and now the tongue-tie is added. Needs plenty more.

Only had three starts on the back of a very long absence. Shaped a little better behind a thriving rival last time and needs to build on that now.

Age: 4|  Weight: 8-8| J: N G McCullagh| T: P Martin| OR:  42
20/1
Been out of form of late over hurdles but tends to save his best for the flat. 0-8 on the AW but is a long way below last turf winning mark. Could bounce back to from here and market check needed.

Yet to win in eight starts, though did shape with some promise here last time over this C&D. Penny could be dropping and not totally dismissed.

limited ability in four starts so far. Tailed off on handicap debut here over 1m4f last time and needs drop in trip to work.

First reserve - Sole win came at Lingfield in September off a 4lb lower mark. Starts life for new yard here and more needed.

Forecasts

Spanish Soprano (4/1), Mcguigan (9/2), Ragtime Red (9/2), Aunty Audrey (13/2), Miss Louise (7/1), Manorov (7/1), Feisty Katerina (8/1), Pact Of Steel (8/1), Alnahar (8/1), Mr Moondance (12/1), Lady Kimberley (14/1), Sheedy (14/1), The Factory Girl (16/1), Steelyeyed (20/1), Banrion Fuar (25/1), Getaway Queen (33/1), Stoneboat Bill (33/1)

Verdict

A chance is taken that STEELYEYED can bounce back to form returned to the flat off a fair mark. Manorov could be ready to bounce back to form and is another one that should be monitored in the market. Spanish Soprano is another who could bounce back in what is a wide open affair.
