Progressive type who completed the four-timer with another personal best at Haydock (11.6f, good to firm) recently. Up another 6 lb, but needs taking seriously all the same.

Four-time winner in 2019 (including both starts here) and shaped as though returning to the boil when runner-up off this mark at Sandown (1¼m, good) last time. Major player.

Decisive winner on the AW in February and creditable second off this 7 lb higher mark at Doncaster (14.5f) next time. Below par on latest start, though, and may again find a few too good.

Resumed winning ways over this trip at Salisbury last month and creditable third off this mark at Windsor since. Should give another good account.

Back to form when landing a 7-runner Leicester handicap (11.8f, good to firm) 13 days ago. This 4 lb higher mark should be within reach, but this is a demanding race.

Looked better than ever when winning in good style at Chepstow (1½m, good) on first start following a 14-month layoff. Now 7 lb higher in a tougher race, but she has to enter calculations.

Lingfield winner in January and solid placed efforts next 2 starts. However, trailed in last of 10 when last seen at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in March and strike rate on turf is modest (1-22).

Several solid efforts in defeat in 2019 prior to scoring on the AW in October. Not disgraced on first run for this yard over hurdles during the winter and worth a second look back in this sphere.

Forecasts

Gas Monkey (11/4), C'Est No Mour (4/1), Songkran (4/1), Sula Island (7/1), Kannapolis (17/2), Long Call (9/1), Hawridge Flyer (10/1), Blue Medici (10/1), One To Go (16/1), Make Haste Slowly (16/1), Running Cloud (20/1), Nabhan (25/1), Monjeni (40/1), Conkering Hero (100/1)

Verdict

GAS MONKEY is 2-2 here and is taken to maintain his 100% record at this track, having shaped as though ready to strike when chasing home a progressive type at Sandown. C'Est No Mour has been in good form of late and is feared with Simon Walker doing the steering. Kannapolis is another to consider, while decisive Chepstow winner Sula Island and the in-form Songkran need considering, too.

  1. GAS MONKEY
