11/8
Dual winner over 7f last year including by 1L on good ground at Newmarket in September. Pleasing fourth over the same C&D on good-to-firm going when making his seasonal debut last month and is one to note in this contest.

9/2
Winner of three of his 16 races most recently by 1L at Leicester (good-to-soft) in September 2017. Fair eighth in a big field 7f race at Doncaster (soft) last November and interesting to see how he fares on seasonal debut.

Made a winning seasonal debut when successful by a length over this trip on the AW here in February. Not gone on from that effort and market support would be notable on return to turf.

Course winner was beaten a head in a 7f AW event at Chelmsford last September. Absent since finishing 2L sixth over the same trip on the AW here in November and likely to come on for the run.

Shown improved form since being gelded and completed a Kempton double when winning over 7f on the AW in November. Good second over the same trip here the following month and he is interesting on turf return.

Group 3-placed in Italy and first start since being gelded when finishing sixth of eight in a first time hood (retained) over this trip on the AW at Chelmsford last month. Market support would be notable in this contest.

Forecasts

Game Player (11/8), Graphite Storm (9/2), Maksab (9/2), Diocles Of Rome (5/1), Charles Molson (17/2), Pettifogger (14/1)

Verdict

DIOCLES OF ROME has won two of his three starts since being gelded and he can make a winning return to turf in this competitive small field handicap. Top weight Game Player ran well on seasonal debut last month and he can improve on that effort to finish runner-up ahead of Maksab who has a top jockey booked to ride in this contest.
  1. Diocles Of Rome
  2. Game Player
  3. Maksab
