Consistent sprint handicapper and another solid effort when third of five back on turf at Hamilton last time. No reason why he shouldn't give another bold account with the inside draw to help him.

Made all at Newcastle when racing resumed last month though 7lb rise for that looked a tad harsh and found a couple too good at Beverley since. Is building up a consistent profile and relatively early days so there should be more to come.

Has barely beaten a rival in two runs since racing came back and with yard going through a lean spell it's not hard to look elsewhere.

Won his maiden here last August on soft ground but poor form otherwise and although handicapper quick to give him a chance, would like to see more before supporting.

Landed a pair of handicaps at this trip last season. Not seen since October so has fitness to prove and a wide draw to overcome.

Made all on soft ground when last seen here in October and previous win was on good to soft so versatile regarding conditions. 5lb rise for latest is fair if ready to go after a break.

Won at Yarmouth last month and just possible the race came too soon when below that at Chelmsford since. Given a little rest since then and lightly raced so may have more to offer.

Well backed when third at Musselburgh on Friday and is certainly on a good mark these days. Would want then ground to continue to dry out to be seen at his best.

Front-runner who has been placed on all three visits here in the past. Back to best for this yard in two runs this term and should give it a go from the front off his low weight.

Won here last summer and other fair efforts at this venue. Weak in market on belated comeback and ran like it was needed so should strip fitter with that under his belt.

Forecasts

Militia (3/1), Longroom (10/3), Astrozone (5/1), Undercover Brother (13/2), Nibras Again (7/1), Buniann (8/1), Rapid Russo (17/2), Hawk In The Sky (11/1), Lezardrieux (12/1), The Grey Zebedee (20/1), Dream House (28/1), Archimedes (50/1)

Verdict

Plenty to consider in a wide open sprint and narrow preference goes to MILITIA from his inside draw. Astrozone is relatively lightly raced and along with Undercover Brother may have more to come and are worthy of consideration.
  1. Militia
  2. Astrozone
  3. Undercover Brother
