11/2

16/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 13 days ago, badly hampered. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Remains with a bigger effort in him, so warrants consideration.

11/2

10/1, creditable second of 5 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, good) 14 days ago. More to come if he settles better this time, so has to be taken seriously.

4/1

Latest win at Doncaster in April. 7/1, bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Sandown (8f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Type to bounce back quickly, although doesn't have much in hand.

9/2

17/2, fourth of 5 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, soft) 23 days ago, not clear run. Visor on 1st time. Needs to do more if he's to defy this mark, although it's still early days.

Forecasts

Roman Mist (3/1), Takeonefortheteam (4/1), Italian Breeze (9/2), Prize Fighting (11/2), Dartington (11/2), Bavardages (6/1), Latent Heat (10/1), Maysong (10/1), Dreamseller (18/1), Ventura Gold (20/1), Exhalation (40/1)

PRIZE FIGHTING made a pleasing reappearance, then shaped much better than the result (met trouble) in a much stronger race than this, so he's well fancied to open his account for the season with cheekpieces applied for the first time. Dartington and Roman Mist appeal as the main dangers.
