Experienced campaigner who has won eight races and has run well on his last three starts, including when third of eight over C&D. Handicapper has given him a chance.
May have needed comeback run at Chelmsford in November and shaped much better when second of five at Newcastle recently. Can go well again off the same mark.
Only limited promise in three starts for this stable since leaving Roger Charlton's yard. Latest effort over C&D was the best of those runs and he may do better again off 2lb lower.
Landed a 1m maiden at this track in November, but has finished out of the frame in two subsequent starts at Newcastle and Chelmsford, latterly over 1m2f. Drop in trip, slightly lower mark and return to this venue may prove a profitable combination.
Wolverhampton maiden winner last month and latest second over 1m in a Chelmsford handicap was a solid effort. Down 1lb and a furlong in distance, and looks a player if handling Fibresand.
Running consistently well without being able to get his head in front. Latest second over 5f at this venue bodes well, but step up to 7f is a shot in the dark.
Winner of six races, but has not got his head in front for some time. Good second over C&D two starts ago, however, and runs off the same mark with his stable among the winners.
Not getting any younger and was well below his best when last seen over hurdles in May. Plenty on his plate returned to the Flat and AW after his break.
Forecasts
Space Bandit (5/2), Gentlemen (4/1), Esprit De Corps (9/2), Creek Harbour (5/1), Sooqaan (7/1), Luis Vaz De Torres (8/1), Crosse Fire (12/1), Port Lairge (250/1)
Top-weight Gentleman should go well along with Luis Vaz De Torres and Esprit De Corps, but this may be fought out by Space Bandit, Creek Habour and SOOQAAN, with marginal reference for the latter, who ran well off this mark over C&D a couple of starts ago and hails from a stable in good form.
