Latest win at Kempton in December. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good, 7/1) 12 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Has a bit to prove now.

C&D winner but he came in last of 5 in handicap (28/1) at Newcastle (8f) 46 days ago, folding tamely. Not easy to make a case for on latest effort.

Career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Redcar (7f, soft, 2/1) 12 days ago. Up 3 lb but he's not taken lightly in his hat-trick bid.

Forecasts

Makeen (5/2), Taskheer (9/2), Pallas Lord (9/2), Kats Bob (15/2), Espresso Freddo (8/1), Saisons D'Or (9/1), Spartakos (14/1), Goodwood Glen (18/1), Always Fearless (20/1), Kraken Filly (28/1), Lochnaver (50/1), Merricourt (66/1)

Verdict

MAKEEN caught the eye on his return when a luckless fourth at Leicester and can gain compensation in an open-looking handicap. Hat-trick seeking Pallas Lord rates a big threat, while Newcastle-scorer Saisons d'Or and course-winner Kats Bob are two others who can't be taken lightly either.
