In good form since racing resumed winning once and finishing in the first four on four other occasions including when third over this trip on the AW at Newcastle last time out. Notable runner on return to turf.
Not beaten far when fifth in a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton in March. Gelded since and interesting to see how he fares with his best form previously having come on AW surfaces.
Completed a treble when victorious over this trip at Musselburgh (good) three weeks ago. Raised 6lb for that victory and looks likely to play a leading role once more.
C&D winner finished a fair sixth in a handicap over this trip at Bath (good) recently. Races off a 2lb lower mark here and is worth a check in the market having won off higher marks in the past.
Struggled in two starts since joining this stable most recently when last of eight over an extended 5f at Bath (firm) last week. Others make more appeal.
Finished runner-up on his two most recent starts including over this distance at Bath (good-to-firm) a week ago. Races off the same mark here and looks likely to run well in this event.
C&D winner finished a neck second in a small field event over this C&D at the end of last month. Failed to replicate that effort when 7L sixth at Bath (5f, good) subsequently and likely more needed on this occasion.
Winner of two of her last four starts most recently by 2L over this trip at Leicester (good-to-soft) earlier this month. Narrowly beaten at Ripon (5f, good) a week ago and another bold show looks on the cards.
Forecasts
Zulu Zander (3/1), Tabaahy (7/2), Alba Del Sole (4/1), Bal Mal (5/1), Aquadabra (8/1), Secretfact (10/1), Prince of Rome (12/1), Port Winston (125/1)
ALBA DEL SOLE has been in good form of late and she can register a third victory of the season by taking the opening sprint handicap. The selection is taken to get the better of Bal Mal who has won four of his last five starts including at Musselburgh last time out while third place can go to Zulu Zander who showed good form when runner-up at Bath recently.
