Bright start on all weather for new yard this year, placed in pair of handicaps prior to resuming winning ways at Chelmsford (13.3f) 3 weeks ago. May do better again over this longer trip.

Three time winner on AW for Nick Littmoden who proved his effectiveness on turf when landing Jamaica Flight Handicap (18f) for new yard at Pontefract recently. 7 lb higher now but he's interesting.

Forecasts

Margaret Dumont (7/4), Ben Lilly (5/2), Arabescato (10/3), Sashenka (4/1), Victoriano (12/1)

A host of these arrive in excellent order including ARABESCATO. He posted a career-best effort when opening his account on turf at Pontefract earlier this month and it would come as no surprise to see him do better still. Margaret Dumont and Ben Lilly head up the dangers.
