Ran just once throughout all of 2019 when last of seven in a warm handicap at Ascot (1m; good to firm). Must now overcome 299-day absence, but has gone well fresh before. Do well to give weight away to these rivals.
Unlucky last time when unseating his rider after five furlongs at Newmarket (1m6f; good). Drops back in trip to 1m4f and switches to AW which is a positive given how close he went at Newcastle (1m4f; standard) last month. The one to beat.
Only two career victories have came on the AW, but he is yet to win in six starts in handicaps. Ran respectably enough when fourth on seasonal debut at Newbury (1m4f; good) when not really fancied. Looks vulnerable for win purposes.
Entitled to improve from his first run in six months which came at Newbury (1m2f; good) last month when well held. Has won at this track and yard are having winners so he would be foolish to rule out.
Bumped into one when runner-up to the improving Tulip Fields (4/7f) at Newmarket (). Still ran respectably but it was only a three-runner race and this is far more competitive. Hasn't looked like winning for a short while now. Place claims at best.
In quiet form since scoring over C&D in November, but is back down to that mark and has only had three starts over this trip. Subsequently far from exposed, and interesting if market support arrives for him.
Claims if back to the form of his Lingfield (1m4f; standard to slow) success in early January. This is a slight drop in grade after he has ran in class two contests the last twice. Makes stable debut for out of form yard though. Bit to prove.
Handicapper still showing no signs of relenting, so she remains 7lb above her last winning mark and has never won in a higher grade than a class 4. Beaten over 20-lengths on her seasonal reappearance last month, and others look more appealing.
Only had a handful of starts and made a likeable start to life in handicaps before finishing in midfield at York (1m6f; soft). Likely to improve as a four-year-old just as his full brother Call To Mind did. Very interesting runner.
Subject to late market support but failed to justify it when an underwhelming sixth of eight at Newmarket (1m4f; good) on his second run of the season. Sneaking suspicion he is a better horse on the AW but recent efforts would advise caution.
Gone well fresh in the past and is proven over this C&D. 4lb above her last winning mark which she has never won off before though. Looks vulnerable to classier types towards the head of the market but has place claims.
Gets in this contest off bottom weight, and always looked the type to improve once sent handicapping before suffering injury. Showed plenty of ability in maidens and betting likely to prove informative on this handicap debut after a 614-day absence.

Today may not be his day but Craster is definitely one to keep an eye on further down the line in handicaps given the ability he showed when last seen on a racecourse. Space Walk is likely to be an even better horse this season. He is yet to win in handicaps but progressed nicely last year, is lightly raced and his brother Call To Mind developed held a similar profile before he went onto develop into a group-class performer for this yard as a four-year-old. The vote goes to GOOD TIDINGS though whom if none the worse for an unfortunate incident last time should regain the winning thread after some solid recent efforts, most notably when second to the improving Alignak.
