3/1
Dual AW winner (both Wolverhampton, 1m/1m1f) already this year. Up 4lb for the latest of those. Remains at this level and has to be very much respected, having proved himself previously on Polytrack.

5/2
1-17 on AW, having won a seller over C&D in November. Has gone close twice in minor handicaps both here and at Wolverhampton. Should again be in the shake-up, and no surprise if the step away from handicapping pays dividends.

Yet to make the frame in 10 attempts. Her 4L fourth in a Wolverhampton handicap (1m) in December suggests she can't be written off, but she still has a fair bit to prove after two recent runs here.

20/1
C&D scorer in 2018, when 4lb higher and in handicap company. Very hard to fancy, however, on anything she has produced in recent times. Visored.

0-28 career record, but has made the frame twice, including here over 1m in November. Has only come anywhere near that form once in several starts since, and visor needs to have a very positive effect.

General level of recent form looks better than many in this field, and although comfortably held in second last time when back up to this sort of trip, she would have to be considered on that basis. Should be involved.

9/2
Without a win since August 2016 (1m3½f, good to firm) at Windsor. Won a maiden on Polytrack at Kempton before that, and ran well there again last time after an eight-month break. Bit to prove back in trip, but can't rule him out.

0-11, but was placed here for the only time in her career when 1¼L third over 7f in December, in a similar event. Well below that level twice since, however, and has stamina to prove.

33/1
Placed just once from 17 attempts on AW, that being over a similar trip at Lingfield in 2018. Not as good as she was then, however, and hard to fancy on any recent form. Hooded.

Forecasts

Cash N Carrie (5/2), Newgirlintown (11/4), Windsorlot (3/1), Officer Drivel (9/2), Castelo (20/1), Grasmere (20/1), Margaret J (25/1), Sherella (25/1), Stay In The Light (33/1)

Verdict

Moderate fayre where Windsorlot looks likely to be very competitive again, Newgirlintown could have a say, and Officer Drivel is not ruled out. However, CASH N CARRIE is the suggestion after some decent handicap efforts.
  1. Cash N Carrie
  2. Windsorlot
  3. Newgirlintown
