5/2
Won a pair of sprint handicaps on easy ground in the autumn, and probably needed the run when 3¼L fifth of 7 to Dark Defender at Newmarket on his return. Can be competitive if stepping up on that respectable effort.

5/2
Won at Windsor in May 2019 for Amy Murphy, and flashes of form for new yard, but was again below form with blinkers refitted last time, and isn't one for maximum faith at present.

18/5
Soft-ground specialist who won twice at Nottingham last season. Just a respectable effort when eighth of 13 at Redcar last time, and needs to up his game, accepting this is an easier task.

10/1
Failed to last home over 6f at Redcar last time, but showed plenty of dash, and handicapper has dropped him another 3lb. Well worth another chance to see whether wind surgery he had before his return has had a beneficial effect.

4/1
Won over C&D last August, and back near that form when ½L third of 10 to Shesadabber at Hamilton last time. Solid claims on balance, and ground conditions should be no issue.

150/1
86 runs without a win for this mare, and she is unlikely to be making the breakthrough from well out of the handicap here.

Forecasts

Erissimus Maximus (5/2), Autumn Flight (5/2), Show Palace (18/5), Marietta Robusti (4/1), True Hero (10/1), Celerity (150/1)

Verdict

TRUE HERO has been disappointing on the whole for Nigel Tinkler, but went with zest on his return before lack of fitness/stamina told. He's now 11lb lower than at the start of last season, and is taken to make the most of a good opportunity. Marietta Robusti was back to form last time, and will appreciate easier ground, while Autumn Flight, while high in the weights now, is a proven winner in the prevailing conditions, and merits respect on his second start back from a break.
  1. True Hero
  2. Marietta Robusti
  3. Autumn Flight
