Beaten 12L when finishing sixth in a handicap over this trip at Kempton at the start of this month. Worth a check in the market racing off a mark 4lb higher than when successful over the same trip at Kempton in November.
Winner of his last two starts in 2019 including in a heavy ground 1m event at Yarmouth in October. Well held 19L ninth on seasonal debut at Kempton earlier this month and likely capable of much better with blinkers reapplied.
Wore a visor (retained) for the first time when finishing a good third in a 7f handicap at Yarmouth (firm) last time out. Races off the same mark here and is one to note stepping up in trip despite a wide draw.
Ended last season with a 5L second over this trip at Nottingham (soft) in October. Below that form when a well held seventh over 1m at Kempton earlier this month and interesting to see how he fares in this contest
Victorious by a neck in first time tongue tie (absent here) when contesting a 1m handicap at Southwell in March. Raised 3lb for that triumph and is worth a check in the market in this event.
Impressive 5L winner of a C&D handicap in January but struggled off a 4lb higher mark at Southwell ten days later. Market support would be notable racing off a mark 10lb higher than for that C&D success on debut for this trainer.
Failed to figure when finishing ninth in a 1m2f handicap at Kempton at the start of this month. Drop in trip a positive but others hold more obvious claims.
C&D winner finished a fair 5L seventh over an extended 1m1f here recently on his first start since the resumption of racing. Races off a 2lb lower mark here and has won off higher marks in the past.
Winner of two of his last three starts including by 3¾L over this C&D in December. Wide draw to overcome if he's to defy a 6lb rise in the weights on his first start of the year.
C&D winner finished 8½L seventh in an eight runner 1m event at Kempton on his most recent outing. Hung right that day and is probably best watched at present.
Won and placed from three starts this year most recently when beaten ½L in a handicap over 1m at Lingfield in early March. Races off a 1lb higher mark here with cheekpieces tried for the first time.

Earth And Sky (5/1), Star Of Valour (5/1), Golden Force (7/1), Purgatory (15/2), Scofflaw (9/1), Rock Icon (11/1), Critical Thinking (11/1), Tanqeeb (11/1), International Law (12/1), Dubai Acclaim (14/1), Makambe (16/1), Givinitsum (16/1)
PURGATORY proved a disappointment on his return earlier this month but with the blinkers returning he looks capable of registering a second AW victory in this handicap event. The selection ended last season with two victories and he is taken to get the better of his rivals here with Golden Force capable of finishing runner-up stepping up in trip. Third place can go to Tanqeeb who is fitted with first time cheekpieces receiving weight from all of his rivals.
