11/1, returned to form when fourth of 5 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 10 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Visor on 1st time. Needs more help from the handicapper to feature.

Thrice-raced maiden. Showed a bit more than previously when fifth of 7 in minor event (80/1) at this course (6f, AW) 13 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Uphill task but Richard Kingscote booked.

Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (5f, 18/1) 8 days ago by 1¼ lengths from the reopposing Mehmo, keeping on well. Carries penalty. Not taken lightly.

5/2 and visored for 1st time, first run since leaving Jane Chapple-Hyam when 4¼ lengths fifth of 9 to Swooper in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 8 days ago. Hard to see him turning the tables here.

5/2, good 1¼ lengths second of 9 to Swooper in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 8 days ago, no match for winner and again looking tricky under pressure. Should be in the mix again.

Winner at Newcastle in November. Visored for 1st time, returned to form when second of 7 in claimer (4/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 25 days ago. Solid each-way claims under competent 5-lb claimer.

Took a step back in the right direction when 4 lengths third of 9 to Swooper in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f, 50/1) 8 days ago, running on late. Probably wants a return to 6f so others preferred.

Verdict

There seemed to be no fluke about the way SWOOPER got the job done at Chelmsford 8 days ago, taking advantage of a drop in grade and providing his young rider with a second career victory. He retains the partnership and is taken to follow up under a penalty. Mehmo wasn't beaten far behind the selection that day and he may have to settle for silver again, ahead of Hotalena.
