Victorious over 1m6f at Chelmsford in March but struggled over the same trip at Yarmouth (good-to-firm) at the start of this month. Interesting down in trip racing off a mark 5lb higher than for that Chelmsford triumph.
In good form around this time last year winning twice over 1m2f including on good-to-firm ground at Sandown in July. Absent since and is one to note racing off a 7lb higher mark on her seasonal debut.
Placed three times from nine starts to date most recently in a 2m hurdle at Ludlow (soft) in January. Returns to the Flat here having finished 28L fourth in a maiden hurdle at Doncaster (good) the following month.
Making his debut for this stable when beaten 6¾L into seventh over 1m2f at Newbury last time out. Remains of interest with a top jockey booked to ride.
Placed on three of his 11 starts to date including when finishing 1¾L second in a 1m2f handicap at Sandown (good-to-firm) last August. Absent since disappointing in first time cheekpieces (absent here) at Newbury (1m2f, good) the following month.
Off the mark at the 17th time of asking when victorious by 1¾L in a 1m4f handicap here in March. Struggled off a 4lb higher mark over the same C&D on his return to action recently and interesting to see how he fares dropping in trip.
Placed over 1m and 1m2f last year and finished a decent sixth on his return from nearly 12 months off the track at Newbury (1m2f, good) recently. Market support would be notable in this contest.
Struggled when finishing ninth in a 1m2f handicap at Sandown (good-to-firm) in May last year. Absent since and others hold more obvious claims on this occasion.
Sole victory from 14 previous starts came over 1m4f at Wolverhampton in May last year. Some decent efforts in defeat since and cheekpieces worn in the past (including when winning) replace the cheekpieces worn at Kempton (1m4f) last time.
Beaten 7L when finishing seventh in a 1m2f handicap at Lingfield earlier this month. Has run well over this trip in the past and interesting to see how she performs in this event.
Maiden after six starts and ended his time with Brian Meehan by finishing fifth in a 1m2f claimer at Windsor (good-to-soft) in October 2017. Others make more appeal on first start in well over two years.
Successful over 1m4f here in early February and has finished fourth on two of his three subsequent starts including when beaten 2¾L over the same trip at Lingfield earlier this month. Races off a mark 3lb higher than for that course victory.
Decent effort in finishing 9½L second in a 1m4f seller at Southwell in early March. Cheekpieces fitted for the first time and likely more needed if he's to take this event.
Forecasts
Crimson King (4/1), Francisco Bay (9/2), Double Legend (5/1), Employer (6/1), Craneur (8/1), Archippos (10/1), Peckinpah (14/1), Confils (14/1), Willkommen (16/1), Bartholomew J (20/1), Margie's Choice (25/1), Sea Tide (50/1), Ididitforyoooo (200/1)
CONFILS was a winner of her final start of last year and she can make a winning seasonal reappearance by taking this handicap contest. The selection can get the better of Employer who is making his second start since joining his current stable while third place can go the way of top weight Bartholomew J who is dropping back in distance.
