Thoroughly decisive winner on return at Doncaster last season, but more miss than hit since (well held on the AW when last seen in January) and probably needs some assistance from the handicapper.

Improved when landing 7f Glorious Goodwood handicap last summer. Shade below par final start of 2020 (gelded since), though, and opposable starting out for new yard here following 7 months off.

Fairly useful winning juvenile who went close at Lingfield (7f, AW) in October, his sole start of 2020. Best to overlook reappearance run over a mile here last month and he's worth a second look.

Kempton novice winner last year and bounced back following a below par display over this C&D when going close in first-time cheekpieces at Newcastle (7f). 3 lb rise fair and should be in the mix.

Winner of 3 of his 8 starts on the AW, but failed to fire back from a break at Wolverhampton last month and needs a clear career-best now returned to turf.

Drew a blank last season, but back in the winning groove at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) recently. 4 lb rise fair and he's unexposed at this trip, so another bold show would be no surprise.

Ex-French winner who was runner-up twice in good 7f/1m Ascot handicaps in 2020. However, profile now has a patchy look to it and will need to bring his 'A' game on this return/debut for new yard.

Pretty useful at his best for Aidan O'Brien and made the frame on 3 of his 4 starts in AW handicaps during the winter. Should pick up a race or two for present connections, but others preferred here.

Improved when landing back-to-back C&D handicaps last June. Second half of 2020 campaign was a struggle, but has edged back down the weights as a consequence and he's not ruled out.

Built on debut promise when landing a Chepstow maiden last June. Followed up in good style back from 10 months off at Wetherby (7f, good) and brings plenty of potential to the table now handicapping.

Winner of decent 6f handicap on the other course here last July. However, she has subsequently failed to scale those heights and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Ametist (1/1), Walhaan (13/2), Dazzling Dan (15/2), Riot (11/1), Maxi Boy (12/1), Arigato (14/1), Theotherside (14/1), Teston (20/1), Society Lion (28/1), Pistoletto (40/1), Corvair (66/1)

Verdict

This is all about AMETIST, who quickened up in good style when landing a Wetherby novice on return last month, and this unexposed 4-y-o should have more to offer now that he goes down the handicap route. Arigato is respected on the strength of his back-to-back C&D victories in 2020 and Dazzling Dan isn't without hope, but Maxi Boy should come on for his seasonal debut here and is feared most.
