11/8
Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (well-backed 16/5) at this course (6f) 7 days ago, staying on to lead final 1f. 5 lb penalty to carry and he should remain competitive.

Career best when winning 5-runner handicap (5/2) at Lingfield (5f, AW) 15 days ago. Up another 3 lb and that could be enough to scupper his bid for the hat-trick.

Off the mark at the nineteenth attempt when winning 10-runner handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 16/5) 7 days ago, leading inside final 1f. 5 lb penalty to carry but he's been competitive from much higher marks previously so must enter calculations here.

17/2
2 wins from 4 runs this year. Latest win at Southwell in January. 11/4, bit below form fourth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 84 days ago, going with little fluency (possibly unsuited by track). Can get back on track here after a 3-month break.

4-time C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. Fifth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (14/1) 20 days ago, staying on after outpaced home turn. Inexperienced 7 lb claimer takes over and he could have a say.

50/1
Possibly needed the run after 3 months off when 4 lengths sixth of 10 to Wings of A Dove in handicap (18/1) at Lingfield (5f, AW) 7 days ago. Hard to see her turning the tables with that rival.

Forecasts

Sir Gregory (11/8), Wings Of A Dove (4/1), Hey Ho Let's Go (8/1), Bernard Spierpoint (17/2), You're Cool (10/1), Iesha (11/1), Scale Force (16/1), Toplight (20/1), Green Door (25/1), Ascot Jungle (50/1)

Verdict

WINGS OF A DOVE finally got off the mark at the nineteenth attempt under this excellent 7-lb claimer at Lingfield last week. She's been competitive from much higher marks previously and looks the one to side with here under a penalty. Bernard Spierpoint seemed unsuited by the track at Newcastle last time so he heads up the opposition back from a short break, with Sir Gregory also fancied to feature having scored at this venue last week.

  1. Wings Of A Dove4/1
  2. Bernard Spierpoint17/2
  3. Sir Gregory11/8
