Age: 4|  Weight: 10-2| J: L Morris| T: M Appleby| OR:  51
11/4
18-race maiden but largely in good form for this yard and went close over C&D last time. Only up 1lb for that effort and every chance here in a contest as modest as this.

6/1
Sole win in 14 starts came over C&D two runs back. 7lb rise on the harsh side for that effort though and struggled from her revised mark last time. Dropped 1lb and running well enough at present to have an each-way squeak.

8/1
Won his maiden over C&D but only success since came in selling company and has been on a poor run of form of late. Needs to improve for his comeback run last time to have any say.

9/4
Yet to win in 18 outings but his more recent efforts have been encouraging since switched back to AW racing and he's finished third in his last two starts here. First-time cheekpieces may eke out enough improvement to see him go close.

Age: 5|  Weight: 9-10| J: Josephine Gordon| T: H Bethell| OR:  45| CD
8/1
Sole win in 24 starts came over C&D but struggling for form of late and sent off a big prices in five starts this winter without hitting the frame. Others preferred.

33/1
Yet to win in her 18 starts and only fourth of 13 in first-time headgear last time out. Blinkers left off today and given she's yet to hit the frame and returning from a sizable absence, she's readily opposed here.

Age: 5|  Weight: 9-10| J: R Havlin| T: D K Ivory| OR:  45
16/1
A 21-race maiden and soundly beaten on seven course starts. Goes marginally better around Lingfield and hard to fancy given the form of his four starts here this winter have been poor.

Age: 10|  Weight: 9-10| J: Philip Prince| T: R C Guest| OR:  45| CD
25/1
Useful front-runner on his day and a two-time C&D winner but long in the tooth now and he's out of the handicap here. Hard to fancy.

Chakriip163
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-6| J: Hollie Doyle| T: H Spiller| OR:  49
10/1
Well beaten on each of his five starts and can miss the break. Entitled to need the run on return from an absence.

Forecasts

Affluence (9/4), Don't Do It (11/4), Hidden Dream (6/1), Steel Helmet (8/1), Iberica Road (8/1), Chakrii (10/1), Nicky Baby (16/1), Outlaw Torn (25/1), Cloud Nine (33/1)

Verdict

A modest contest but DON'T DO IT wasn't beaten far over course and distance last time out and he arrives in better form than many of his rivals. Affluence is the main danger in first-time headgear and has placed on his last two course outings while Hidden Dream has been in fair form and that will count for plenty in this modest event.
