Bidding for a C&D hat-trick after two comfortable victories last month, most recently nine days ago. Both of those were against her own sex, however, and is off a career-high mark too so has a tough ask on her hands.

5/1
Poor record of one win from 25 runs. Yet to win on the AW, including third of six here (7f) last time and while 2lb lower, may need to improve more to get competitive with the trip possibly being on the short side.

3/1
Off the mark in style at Wolverhampton (6f) three runs ago and has ran well in defeat on both starts, including a ½L defeat at Lingfield (6f) last time. Up 2lb and career high mark but shouldn't be too far away, particularly off a strong gallop.

Course winner whose latest win came at Lingfield in January by 4½L but last seen finishing fifth of eleven in a C&D handicap 16 days ago. 1lb lower for this and entitled to consideration.

Dual course winner (6f/7f), most recently in October but proving to be inconsistent, including when fourth of six here last month. Not discounted on previous course victories but hard to catch when right.

14/1
Hard to win with but has shown some signs on last couple of starts that his turn might not be far away; back up to 6f after trying 5f last time, which is a help too for this C&D winner. 4lb below his last winning mark.

Tailed off all three starts so far this year since returning from a short absence. Yet to win in eight starts on the AW, and so he can be easily ruled out until showing more encouragement.

Forecasts

Fantastic Flyer (11/4), Rock Boy Grey (3/1), Human Nature (3/1), Venture (7/2), Ultimate Avenue (5/1), Spirited Guest (5/1), Lalania (7/1), Cappananty Con (14/1), Molaaheth (50/1)

Verdict

A tricky sprint handicap where SPIRITED GUEST is a tentative selection. He steadily improved throughout 2019 and can be forgiven a moderate effort on the Fibresand last time after a break. He will appreciate the return to this venue. Fantastic Flyer is in the form of her life currently and cannot be easily discounted for all this is a tougher assignment, against the boys off a career high mark. Rock Boy Grey was impressive at Wolverhampton in December and has held his form well since.
