22/1
5/1, unseated rider in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (15.6f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Fairly useful in this sphere at his best, but yet to strike on this side of the Irish Sea.

5/2
Multiple course winner, the latest off a 3 lb lower mark in November. Only sixth of 7 in handicap at this course (9.5f, 5/2) 66 days ago, but leading claims if back to his best.

10/3
C&D winner in January. 9/2, eighth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (19.4f, good) 32 days ago. That was a rather disappointing effort, but merits respect back in this sphere all the same.

9/2
Course winner in December. Creditable second of 5 in handicap back here (14f, 6/4) 66 days ago. Shouldn't be unduly inconvenienced by this drop back in trip and he's high on the shortlist.

11/2
Latest win at Southwell in January. Seventh of 11 in handicap there (12.1f, 22/1) 18 days ago. Perhaps a shade too high in the weights for now.

Sixth of 7 in handicap (40/1) at Southwell (11.1f) 11 days ago. Now 9 lb below last winning mark, but others make more appeal nonetheless.

6/1
C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2018. Good second of 5 in handicap at this course (14f, 14/1) 42 days ago. Reproduction of that effort would put him in the picture.

12/1
Four-time course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2020. Last of 7 in handicap (25/1) at Southwell (11.1f) 11 days ago and he has questions to answer at present.

Forecasts

Fitwood Star (5/2), Progressive (10/3), Three Platoon (9/2), Percy Willis (11/2), Inn The Bull (6/1), Richard R H B (12/1), Pearl Warrior (22/1), Red Force One (25/1)

Verdict

FITWOOD STAR was below par here when last seen in January, but the 6-y-o otherwise makes plenty of appeal. Indeed, he's 3-5 at this course and 4-5 in handicaps, and this step up in trip is unlikely to be an issue. Three Platoon opened his account over 1¾m here in December and has done little wrong in his two subsequent starts. He is second choice ahead of Progressive and Inn The Bull.
