Was in cracking form last year, winning four handicaps, but seems to be still paying the price for that. However, only just touched off over 7f here in January and a repeat of that would take him close here.

Found 6f too sharp at Kempton last time (still not disgraced) and better judged on earlier efforts. Has form at the track and likes to come with a late effort, so faster they go up front the better his chance late on.

Won back-to-back novice races in January and may well have found the slow pace against him when easily beaten at Southwell last time. Reasons to expect better here, then, and young enough to improve.

Some reasonable efforts over 6f around here in his time but not in any great form at present, and has yet to win over 7f. Looks a tough ask and others readily preferred.

Beaten ½l over C&D back in December and only 2lb higher here, so has chances from a handicapping point of view, but may need this after a short break and others make a little more appeal.

Back to form when successful over C&D last time (not his first win here this winter) and always capable at his favourite venue, but up another 5lb and a rise in grade might be enough to stop him today.

Won a couple of minor events last summer but found life a bit harder off his revised mark after that; lightly raced and could improve, but might need this after an absence, and others make more appeal.

Only just touched off at Southwell on latest start, finding a rejuvenated De Bruyne Horse just too good; nudged up a pound but fully effective over C&D and not totally discounted.

Forecasts

Dragon Sun (2/1), Glenn Coco (11/4), Fighting Temeraire (9/2), Nigel Nott (8/1), Extrodinair (10/1), Busby (12/1), Eljaddaaf (14/1), Gracious John (16/1), Zafaranah (25/1)

Verdict

EXTRODINAIR deserves another win after a couple of near misses over the winter and might have been unlucky to bump into a well-treated one at Southwell last time out. With not too much pace on, he can get across from his outside draw and make all tonight. Glenn Coco has a good record here and looks on a winning mark, so might prove the main threat. Nigel Nott and Eljaddaaf both have improvement in them and can make their presence felt.
