Holds a fine record here winning four of his last five starts over C&D including four on the trot between December 2017 and February last year off a 3lb lower mark. Could take some beating if in the form of 12 months ago.

Winner of two of his four starts over C&D including hitting the frame on the other occasions. Another bold show looks likely.

Winner on the tapeta at Wolverhampton and Newcastle for trainer Roger Varian but has appeared a little out of sorts in six starts for current connections. Others look open to more improvement.

Two from four over C&D with his latest win coming last month off a 2lb lower mark. Can go well but may find one or two better suited to today's conditions.

Put an end to Foolaad's fine run of victories over C&D last month off a 3lb lower mark. Has the form to make a bold bid .

Holds a 20% strike rate winning two of his 10 starts here over C&D landing a double in March of last year. Others make more appeal.

Genuine and tough sort who has been running well in defeat recently. Beaten a neck on return to the minimum distance at Wolverhampton last month. Can be expected to improve.

Forecasts

Ornate (9/4), Foolaad (4/1), Moonraker (5/1), Uncle Jerry (15/2), Samovar (8/1), Midnight Malibu (10/1), Suzi's Connoisseur (16/1), Erissimus Maximus (16/1), Crosse Fire (16/1), Atletico (33/1)

Verdict

Competitive heat which could see FOOLAAD get his head back in front on a track he landed four on the trot between December 2017 and February last year off a 3lb lower mark. The Exceed And Excel gelding can see off the attentions of fellow C&D victor Ornate, last months conqueror, Midnight Malibu and the interesting Uncle Jerry.
