Triple winner over 6f/7f (all on heavy), including the latter trip here last season. 6lb higher than that now, but showed at Southwell last time that he can still be competitive. Fast ground a concern, but possible contender if conditions soften.
Has shown steady improvement since making his debut 13-months ago, including when scoring at Newcastle (7f, AW) when last seen in February. 6lb higher for this return from a break, but potentially still well treated. Acts on good to firm.
Scored at the fourth attempt back in 2018 (1m, soft). Has gone close a few times since, but has been unable to take advantage of a receding mark. Well treated on his best efforts, but not sure he is one to trust.
Made the frame several times before breaking his duck at the eighth attempt in an Ayr handicap (1m, good) last September, when with Karl Burke. Changed hands for 11,000gns in October, and not ruled out on his reappearance.
Triple winner from 7f-1m. Has run well several times since his last success, including when runner-up to his stablemate on his return from a break at Newcastle last week. That form looks good in context and he could be a big player back on turf.
Placed in five of his 14 starts, but remains a maiden. Best AW efforts would give him claims from this mark, if able to transfer that to turf, but is inconsistent and not easy to be confident what he will produce.
Left Sir Michael Stoute after being a well held 3-1 chance on debut at Kempton (1m, AW) last August. Cost current connections £10,000 in January and was held on stable debut last week. Drops 3lb and far from written off on handicap debut.

Forecasts
Kind Review (11/4), Al Ozzdi (11/4), Moxy Mares (7/2), Power Player (6/1), Ghadbbaan (13/2), Fox Kasper (10/1), Stallone (16/1), Alonso Cano (16/1), Momtalik (22/1)
If the heavens open it would enhance the chance of Stallone here, but there are a few others of interest too. Alonso Cano may be capable of better from today's mark, Ghadbbaan likewise, and Fox Kasper is another to consider. Kind Review is still going the right way and the handicapper may not yet have his measure. He is feared, though preference is for AL OZZDI, who looks a big player after last week's Newcastle outing.
- Al Ozzdi
- Kind Review
