9/2
Now 1lb lower than when a fine second in a Sandown handicap a year ago, and drops in class here, so possible he can put a couple of lifeless efforts this winter firmly behind him.

10/3
Fair fourth off a 6lb higher mark on his Kempton return, but well beaten when unseating his rider at Sandown on his latest start. Needs to leave that poor effort behind him.

9/4
Has dropped 14lb since finishing third at Uttoxeter just under a year ago, and while his form since has been poor, he is having his first start since leaving Claire Dyson, and a change of fortunes is eminently possible.

7/1
Proving very consistent, and although only fifth, she was far from disgraced in a race won by Everlanes (runs 2:30) at Taunton last time. Sure to be there or thereabouts once again.

17/2
Won at Towcester in 2018/19, and back to form when runner-up at Plumpton last month. May have found the run coming too quickly there a week later, and not dismissed now.

10/1
Ran his best race when third in a C&D handicap in December, and fared as well as could be expected behind a subsequent Grade 1 winner next time. Not so good at Huntingdon since, but may yet do better back here.

10/1
Lost his way having won over C&D two years ago, but out of the doldrums when a creditable second of 7 to Ultimatum du Roy at Market Rasen last time. Can win with a repeat.

Forecasts

Caltex (9/4), Clondaw Westie (10/3), Scotchtown (9/2), Hugo's Reflection (5/1), Troubled Soul (7/1), Dylanseoghan (17/2), Leskinfere (10/1), Dontminddboys (10/1)

Verdict

DONTMINDDBOYS was back to form when second to Ultimatum du Roy at Market Rasen, and as a dual C&D winner, he must be of interest off his reduced mark. Caltex is one of several who have joined Michael Scudamore from Claire Dyson of late, and it would be no surprise to see him well backed, and previous horses who have made that move have been. It may pay to forgive Hugo's Reflection his latest flop when turned out quickly, and he's a player on the form of his win at Fontwell last month.
