2/1

Three course wins (2 turf, 1 AW) in 2020. As good as ever when narrowly denied over C&D 10 days ago. 2 lb rise unlikely to prevent another prominent showing.

Won on 1m Redcar handicap debut in November. Back on the up when placed over C&D in recent weeks. Looks sure to be bang there again under Ryan Moore.

7/2

Back to form at second time of asking for new trainer when winning 10-runner C&D handicap 14 days ago, dominating from the front. Up 7 lb but likely to remain very competitive.

18/1

Ex-French trained who showed he retains ability back from 15 months off when fifth of 10 over C&D 42 days ago. Fairly treated if he can build on that.

Forecasts

Stopnsearch (2/1), Convertible (10/3), Capla Crusader (7/2), Capriolette (17/2), Amsby (10/1), Avorisk Et Perils (11/1), Aztec Dreams (18/1), Compass Point (33/1), Bealach (40/1), Departmentalize (250/1)

STOPNSEARCH was a shade unlucky when only just failing to get up over C&D last time and is taken to gain compensation now. Convertible has a pair of good placed efforts to his name over C&D this year and is an obvious danger under Ryan Moore. Capla Crusader and Aztec Dreams are others who should have a say.
