10/3
4-time C&D winner who added to his tally in a Wolverhampton claimer (12.2f) in January. Far from disgraced when fourth in a C&D handicap since and he's one to consider here.

3/1
Lightly-raced maiden. Not seen to best effect when fifth of 9 in a C&D handicap, plugging on from his off-the-pace position having been hampered soon after the start. Not dismissed out of hand.

Showed little in bumpers/over hurdles but glimmers of promise in AW minor events at upto 12f in recent months. Possible he can do better now handicapping and booking of Curtis catches the eye.

8/1, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at this course (10.2f) 15 days ago, challenged 2f out but no extra final 1f. Goes back up in trip now and fallen below last winning mark.

Maiden who went close on a couple of occasions for Archie Watson last spring. Better for yard debut when midfield in 12-runner handicap here (10f) 2 weeks ago and he may build on that again.

Three wins from 17 runs last year. Not at best when sixth of 11 in C&D handicap 25 days ago but no forlorn hope if bouncing back in a wide-open affair.

Progressed on AW last spring, completing quick-fire hat-trick. However, below best in a couple of starts in recent weeks, well held fifth of 6 in a C&D event 2 weeks ago. Needs to step up.

Forecasts

Motarajja (3/1), Lopes Dancer (10/3), Tommy R (4/1), Leopolds Rock (9/2), Ghostly (8/1), Myboymax (11/1), Zumaaty (20/1), Autonomy (22/1)

Verdict

A tricky opener with the narrow vote in favour of veteran LOPES DANCER. Successful from a 4 lb higher mark over C&D last year, he added to his tally in a Wolverhampton claimer on his penultimate start. Far from disgraced back here since, he can go well again. Motarajja and Leopolds Rock are just a couple of others to consider.
