Ran well enough here penultimately despite 5lb rise for Wolverhampton win penultimately although held subsequently. Not one to rule out especially if the pace is frenetic.

Hardly prolific with 1-18 career record; wining at Ripon (6f, good) in May 2019 for a previous trainer. Showed little of late and looks regressive so best avoided.

Likes this C&D and not beaten far in first two races here post lockdown. Even when sixth of seven latest he was beaten just 3½L in a stronger race than this so definitely one to shortlist.

Does most of his racing on Southwell's Fibresand these days and while his form there is hardly anything to write home about it is certainly better than on other surfaces so not confident here.

C&D winner last October ran moderately on return at Bath but took a fair tug there so may be open to improvement if she settles. Not ruled out.

C&D winner in the past but form in recent times has been solid at Southwell but desperate everywhere else. Needs a leap of faith now back on the Polytrack.

Five-time winner now below last winning mark after an inconsistent spell of form. Interesting she belatedly wears cheekpieces here and could well be that they spark a revival; respected.

C&D scorer in December 2018 but won only once since and form since the turn of the year suggests she will again be struggling to make the frame.

Forecasts

Aquadabra (5/2), Roundabout Magic (10/3), Solar Park (7/2), Mercers (5/1), George Thomas (11/2), Warrior's Valley (6/1), Devil Or Angel (10/1), Terri Rules (12/1), Nautical Haven (12/1), Fairy Fast (22/1)

Verdict

In a race that won't take an awful lot of winning a chance is taken on ROUNDABOUT MAGIC who has run three pretty solid races here post-lockdown. He won't have to be particularly well handicapped here. Mare's Aquadabra who has run a couple of decent races on the turf lately and Terri Rules in the first-time headgear also make some appeal.
  1. Roundabout Magic
  2. Aquadabra
  3. Terri Rules
