5/1
Four-time winner in 2020, the latest over this trip at Windsor in July. Reappearance fourth at Chelmsford was creditable, but current mark (8 lb higher than for her Windsor success) looks tough.

Back to form when making a winning debut for this yard at Ascot (1m) last summer. However, below par both starts on AW since the turn of the year and this drop in trip poses a question. Visor added.

Successful sole 2-y-o start (for Jeremy Noseda) and made a winning return/debut for new yard at Beverley last year. No further progress in 3 subsequent appearances, but he's not one to give up on.

Generally reliable and bagged 7f handicaps at Redcar and Haydock last season. Effective at this trip, too, and he won't be far away if ready to roll following a 6-month break.

Largely acquitted himself well for Ed Walker in 2020, winner of 7f Yarmouth handicap off a 2 lb higher mark in June. Excuses on return/debut for new yard and now tried in a tongue strap.

Found just one too good on 4 occasions last term, including off a mark 3 lb higher than this at Haydock in September. Still, he hasn't managed to win a race for over 3 years, which is off-putting.

4/1
Without a win since 2-y-o campaign, but posted more good efforts than bad ones in 2020 and put in a good shift when third off this mark on return at Windsor (6f) 19 days ago. Needs considering.

Forecasts

Bomb Proof (10/3), Triggered (4/1), Mountain Brave (5/1), Via Serendipity (5/1), Northernpowerhouse (11/2), Blackheath (17/2), Danzan (9/1)

Verdict

None of these can be fully discounted, but BOMB PROOF, Blackheath and Triggered may nevertheless be the trio to focus on. The last-named gave it a good shot on his recent reappearance and Blackheath is entitled to major respect on much of his 2020 form, but there's a strong suspicion that the lightly-raced Bomb Proof will get back on track before long and he's been given a chance by the assessor.

  1. BOMB PROOF (IRE)
  2. BLACKHEATH
  3. TRIGGERED (IRE)
