Arrives in excellent form, and got up late to gain second win of 2021 over C&D 9 days ago. Carries 5 lb penalty but runner-up has gone in since so big player once more.

Still a maiden, and below-par fifth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 16/1) 10 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Makes fibresand debut and others more persuasive.

Only one win from 22 Flat runs, and cheekpieces on when seventh of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 4 days ago. Others appeal more.

4-time C&D winner, latest in January, but below-form fifth of 9 to Onebaba in handicap over C&D 9 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

8/1
Lightly-raced maiden who arrives on back of good fifth of 11 in 6f handicap at Newcastle (14/1) 12 days ago. Still low mileage, so much respected if taking to fibresand at first time of asking.

Twelve runs since last win in 2017, and only eleventh in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) when last seen on track 14 months ago. Makes fibresand debut with blinkers back on and easy to look elsewhere.

It's now eighteen runs since last win in 2018. Below-par fifth of 12 in handicap (11/1) at Kempton (7f) 113 days ago so hard to enthuse over on fibresand debut.

Forecasts

True Hero (3/1), Onebaba (10/3), Jazz Legend (11/2), Bold Decision (6/1), Archimedes (8/1), Bringing Glory (8/1), Excelinthejungle (11/1), Mercury (16/1), Gulland Rock (40/1), Hellofagame (80/1), Outofthegloom (150/1)

Verdict

Plenty of these have question marks against them so ONEBABA is taken to defy a 5 lb penalty for his recent C&D success and make it win number three already for 2021. Mick Appleby's in-form Bringing Glory has few miles on the clock so rates the chief threat if hitting the ground running on his fibresand bow, although Archimedes can't be ruled out lightly given his outstanding record here.

  2. BRINGING GLORY (IRE)
