Ended his time with Declan Carroll with a 3½L fourth in a handicap over this distance at Wolverhampton in early December. Interesting runner racing off a mark 6lb lower than when winning at Musselburgh (5f, good) in May last year.

Followed up a good effort in finishing a neck second over this C&D in February with a 4L fourth upped to 6f at Kempton the following month. Notable runner racing off a mark 8lb lower than for his most recent triumph.

Ran well prior to weakening in the closing stages when finishing last of six in a 5f handicap at Lingfield in February when making his return from wind surgery. Worth a check in the market having won three times over this C&D in the past.

Unbeaten in two starts following wind surgery with both victories coming over this C&D. Defied a 5lb penalty when successful just under four months ago and he looks likely to play a leading role racing off a 5lb higher mark on this occasion.

Winning for the sixth time when victorious by 1L in a soft ground 5f handicap at Nottingham in October. Below that form when sixth over the same C&D the following month however and interesting to see how his first AW start since April last year.

Completed a double when victorious over this distance at Southwell in early March and ran well when runner-up over the same C&D ten days later. Races off a mark 6lb higher than for that latest victory but has won over this C&D in the past.

Forecasts

Tone The Barone (1/1), Spirited Guest (9/2), Abel Handy (11/2), Boom The Groom (8/1), Dapper Man (12/1), Zac Brown (22/1), Red Stripes (25/1), Bellevarde (33/1)

Verdict

TONE THE BARONE has a top jockey booked to ride here and he looks capable of defying a 5lb rise in the weights to complete a C&D hat-trick in this sprint handicap. The selection can see off his rivals here with top weight Dapper Man capable of finishing runner-up on his return to this distance while third place can go to Abel Handy who has won off higher marks in the past.
  1. Tone The Barone
  2. Dapper Man
  3. Abel Handy
