Fourteen runs since last win in 2019 but caught the eye under a considerate ride after 6 months off when sixth over C&D 27 days ago. Cheekpieces go on and he's one to take seriously from this mark.

C&D handicap winner last August. Failed to progress in 2 subsequent yards last year but interesting that his leading stable perseveres. Has had wind surgery. Another to consider.

Enjoyed a highly productive 2020, adding a fourth Pontefract win to his tally in September. Shaped as if better for run when fourth there 18 days ago but possibly needs help from the handicapper.

Got off the mark with plenty to spare following 25-month absence in minor event at Newcastle (8f) back in December. Notable that he's been persevered with by connections so respected on handicap bow.

Lightly-raced sort who opened his account in 9-runner handicap at Wolverhampton in March. Did well to reel in one that was better positioned than himself at Lingfield next time so remains of interest.

Forecasts

Fierospeed (13/8), Silent Hunter (9/4), Thibaan (5/1), Wait Forever (6/1), Highwaygrey (11/1)

Verdict

WAIT FOREVER caught the eye under tender handling when sixth on reappearance over C&D last month. Having been placed form from marks in the high 90s last year, he's taken to strike with first-time cheekpieces applied. Thibaan ended last year with a pair of below-par efforts but he may provide the biggest threat returning after wind surgery, ahead of handicap-debutant Silent Hunter.

  1. WAIT FOREVER (IRE)
  2. THIBAAN (USA)
  3. SILENT HUNTER
