9/2
15-time AW winner enjoying a renaissance to his career for this yard. Three of his wins have come around here and produced another solid effort at this course last time out. Holds no secrets from the handicapper but not without an each-way shout.

9/1
A very smart sprinter on his day and yard do well with these types but the 273-day absence has to be a concern, particularly given his record fresh. Others preferred.

4/1
Losing run goes back to 2016 and needs everything to fall right to get his head in front. Came in for some market support before disappointing last time out but may do better on second start since wind surgery.

7/1
C&D winner with a bit of a hit and miss profile. Posted two fair efforts at Wolverhampton in December before he was unsuited to being held up off a slow pace last time out. Capable from this mark and can't be ruled out.

7/1
All 13 wins have come on AW including six over C&D. Back below his last winning mark after some below par runs elsewhere and warrants plenty of respect back at this venue.

5/1
Three time 6f course winner who gained a first win for some time back at 5f at Newmarket in August. Has been running okay in defeat since witched back on AW but probably a shade vulnerable at this trip in a race this competitive.

Saaheq11
Age: 5|  Weight: 8-12| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR:  79| D
11/4
Bolted up on his first two starts for this yard. Has been struggling in three starts on AW this winter but pedigree suggests he should go on these sorts of surfaces and may do better at some stage.

Forecasts

Saaheq (11/4), Boom The Groom (4/1), Captain Lars (9/2), Excellent George (5/1), Dynamo Walt (7/1), Foxy Forever (7/1), Green Door (9/1)

Verdict

DYNAMO WALT has to be feared at this venue, particularly now he's back below his last winning handicap mark and he's taken to land his seventh course and distance win in what has to be considered a competitive field. Boom The Groom is dangerously well-handicapped and he might do better on his second start since wind surgery while Foxy Forever has form over this course and distance; he had excuses at Newcastle last time.
