Off the mark at the 19th time of asking over 1m½f at Wolverhampton last time out and having only gone up 3lb with an ideal draw and Kirby aboard there are plenty of positives again here.
Well held in three 1m maidens and although handicaps should help it's hard to see how he's earned this mark.
Woverhampton winner in March finished second the last twice over 1m4f at Wolverhampton and 1m2f at Windsor. Big player on current form if safely negotiating stall 1.
Yarmouth 1m2f h'cap winner last summer but well held in two runs post-lockdown and from stall 14 she looks up against it here too.
1m4f Kempton winner in January finished midfield here next. Not ruled out on first run after a break.
Does most of his running at Wolverhampton these days but last five runs suggest he isn't one to be backing at present.
Third here last November but unplaced in five runs since then so others make greater appeal today.
C&D winner in January again showed liking for this track when third of 11 here last time out. Draw not ideal but still rates one of the more likely sorts.
Lightly raced maiden kept on into fourth of 12 over 1m at Chelmsford last time out and certainly looked there like the step up today would suit; intriguing contender.
AW stalwart but looks to be in decline now aged nine and recent efforts have suggested the handicapper needs to help now.
33/1 third at Chelmsford latest one of her best efforts but she's far from consistent so not sure to follow that up; place claims if she does.
Two poor runs her only starts in 2016 and not seen since. Impossible to fancy.
On a long losing run and although her fifth latest wasn't a bad effort she hasn't even placed since 2018.
Well held in novice races and last of 12 on handicap debut last month so remains one best watched.
Forecasts
Gold Standard (15/8), Red Archangel (5/2), Mistress Nellie (9/1), Famous Dynasty (12/1), Luxford (12/1), Sir Gnet (14/1), Four Feet (14/1), Elsie Violet (20/1), Voice of A Leader (22/1), Island Flame (33/1), King Oswald (40/1), Into Debt (50/1), Urban Scene (100/1), Bella Blur (125/1)
In-form GOLD STANDARD looks sure to make a bold bid from stall one after two solid efforts the last twice and he gets the nod over last-time out scorer Red Archangel who hasn't been harshly treated up 3lb. Upped in trip today, Four Feet is also interesting.
