Won lone start here way back in 2016 and remains a force on AW. Won two starts back at Lingfield before midfield effort at Wolverhampton latest. Well treated at these weights compared to a handicap and looks the one to beat.
Recent Southwell winner but was 6¾L behind Alsvinder latest in a Wolverhampton handicap and now worse off at the weights so hard to see reversal although well off with most nevertheless.
Bolted up by 6L on soft ground as a juvenile in the 2017 Super Sprint Stakes (Newbury) but hasn't won since; falling like a stone in the weights but can't take advantage here and 7lb worse off with Alsvinder than he would be in a handicap.
Run fair races the last twice finishing second in each of them but would receive 28lb from the top horse in a handicap rather than the 10lb he gets here. Hard to fancy.
Running well at present with wins here (5f) and at Chelmsford (6f) the last twice. Poorly off at the weights here but in current form every chance he makes the frame.
Dead-heat winner here two starts back who finished seventh of 11 at Chelmsford last time out. This will be tougher at the weights but if things drop right he could go well.
Won on this surface at Wolverhampton back in 2017 and also on turf last May. Returns here from an absence but overall form gives him plenty to find even if fully wound up on return.
Flat debutant beaten a long way at Carlisle and here in bumpers before Christmas. Complete sea change as far as distance here but hard to be optimistic.
Five-race maiden beaten some 26L latest although third at Southwell. Of limited ability from evidence so far and others in this field of far higher class.
Forecasts
Alsvinder (5/4), Bengali Boys (4/1), Zapper Cass (9/2), Lucky Lodge (8/1), Zylan (8/1), Duke Cosimo (14/1), Searanger (33/1), Dories Delight (66/1), Tommycole (200/1)
This looks a first-rate chance for the useful ALSVINDER who would give all of these rival considerably more weight in a handicap and he is confidently selected. Each-way alternatives look to be Zylan and Zapper Cass.
