4/1
11/4, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 19 days ago, driven out. 4 lb rise fair enough and should make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick.

18/1
C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 14/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 19 days ago, better placed than most. Each-way shout.

14/1
Lightly-raced winner. Good third of 9 in handicap (7/2) at Chepstow (10f, firm). Resumes on a 1 lb lower mark, but nine-month absence to overcome and, in any case, others look stronger.

40/1
Fourth of 6 in handicap (22/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 62 days ago. This 10-race maiden will probably find a few too good once more.

7/2
C&D winner last spring. Respectable 1¾ lengths sixth of 10 to Sammy Sunshine in handicap (7/2) at Kempton (11f) 26 days ago. Could have a big part to play granted a stronger pace to aim at.

7/2
Latest win here in February. Good second of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, good, 11/1) 12 days ago, no match for winner. Needs considering.

20/1
C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Last of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 20/1) 40 days ago, left poorly placed. Chance on old form, but hard to warm to based on recent evidence.

Temperamental sort. Two wins from 43 Flat runs. Good second of 15 in handicap (12/1) at this C&D 7 days ago, clear of rest. Place possibilities off the same mark.

Forecasts

Pips Tune (7/2), The Bay Warrior (7/2), Sammy Sunshine (4/1), Masqool (9/2), Thunderoad (17/2), Big Little Lie (14/1), Eagles Dare (16/1), Mythical Madness (18/1), Central City (20/1), Santa Florentina (40/1)

Verdict

THE BAY WARRIOR scored in good style on his sole previous visit here last spring and he could be the answer. Mark Usher's charge wasn't helped by the muddling pace when sixth in the Kempton handicap won by Sammy Sunshine last month and he has a good chance of turning the tables with that rival here. That said, Sammy Sunshine is clearly in good heart and she is feared most ahead of Masqool and Pips Tune.
