Struggled when finishing seventh over this trip at Kempton at the start of this month on his most recent outing. Interesting to see how he fares racing off a mark 4lb lower than when winning over C&D in January.

Winner of his two most recent starts including by 1½L over this trip at Yarmouth (good) last week. Return to the AW no issue and he looks likely to play a leading role under a 6lb penalty.

Dundalk maiden winner over this trip last November and ran well when finishing 1L second in a first time hood (absent here) on her stable debut at Wolverhampton (5f) recently. One to note in this contest.

Good 1¼L fourth in a 5f handicpa at Kempton in January and was hampered when finishing a well held tenth upped to 7f at Wolverhampton the following month. Return to this trip a positive with a hood tried for the first time.

Finished fourth on each of his last two starts including when beaten 6¾L fourth to Lezardrieux in a small field 5f event at Yarmouth (good) last week. Others make more appeal.

Verdict

LEZARDRIEUX looks capable of completing a hat-trick on his return to the AW by taking this three-year-old only handicap. The selection was a winner on turf on his most recent start and can confirm form with Sampers Seven who finished runner-up to him on that occasion. Third place can go the way of Limaro Prospect who had excuses when disappointing on his most recent start.
  1. Lezardrieux
  2. Sampers Seven
  3. Limaro Prospect
