Fairly useful maiden on Flat but has failed to build on last spring's hurdles debut promise in 3 subsequent starts, including with cheekpieces/tongue strap enlisted last time. Now tried in blinkers.

Off the mark on handicap bow in this sphere last March and subsequently racked up 6 wins on the Flat in Jersey. Second to an improver back from a break at Southwell recently and she merits respect.

Winless following 19 attempts under Rules but knocking on the door of late, posting another solid effort in defeat when third of 16 at Southwell a fortnight ago. Claims off same mark here.

Though she has failed to make much of an impact in a bumper/3 starts in this sphere, improvement may be forthcoming now upped in trip for this handicap debut. Cheekpieces applied.

Shown little spark since landing a Navan maiden hurdle back in February 2015, and hopes pinned on change of scenery (making debut for new yard) sparking an unlikely revival.

11/1
Produced just about his best effort yet when fourth over 21.6f at Newton Abbot last month. However, subsequent Market Rasen display represented a sizeable step in the wrong direction.

Poor strike rate on the level and hasn't cut much ice in half-a-dozen starts in this sphere.

7/1
Consistent in summer 2018, including a win at Stratford in August of that year. Now 4 lb below that winning mark, but with good reason given that he's failed to fire on each of his last 4 starts.

Very lightly-raced under Rules in recent years and well held in couple of runs over fences since returning from a lengthy layoff in November.

Without a win following 7 runs between the flags and 8 starts in this sphere. Likely to struggle once more on this first outing since December, unless fitting of cheekpieces has a profound effect.

Forecasts

Dubai Outlaw (2/1), Molliana (10/3), Love The Well (10/3), Scotsbrook Night (7/1), Redemptorist (9/1), Kendelu (11/1), China Flower (28/1), Mike McCann (50/1), Golconda Prince (66/1), Pierlow (80/1)

Verdict

MOLLIANA and Love The Well boast the most compelling claims judged on recent exploits. The latter certainly deserves to get her head in front but preference is for Neil Mulholland's charge, who was returning from a 5-month break when chasing home an improver at Southwell 2 weeks ago and a reproduction of that effort would probably suffice. China Flower is one to keep an eye on now handicapping.
