C&D winner was largely consistent last summer but ended his season with 2 alarmingly poor runs. Probably best watched on return.

Won over C&D last autumn before following up at Huntingdon. Shaped as if needing run on return earlier this month and may do better here.

Productive last summer, winning twice over hurdles before making at second time lucky over fences at Huntingdon in October. Fell on return last month but remains on fair mark.

Temperamental sort for Paul Nicholls but made a winning start for new yard at Fontwell 9 days ago. 6 lb higher mark requires more but yard do well with similar types.

Scored at Fakenham in January and returned to form with a good second at Huntingdon 16 days ago. Not certain to be in same form this time but a repeat effort would see him go close.

Down in weights and produced his best showing for a while when runner-up on return at Warwick last month, though again didn't fully convince with finishing effort. 3-time C&D winner merits consideration.

Forecasts

Atlantic Storm (11/8), Dogon (5/2), Somekindofstar (9/2), Jamacho (8/1), Larch Hill (9/1), Tikkinthebox (20/1)

Verdict

DOGON went with more zest on his first start for Dr Richard Newland last time out and is taken to follow up that Fontwell win a tricky contest. Atlantic Storm's fine C&D record puts him well in the mix, whilst Somekindofstar is another with strong claims if able to build on his Huntingdon effort.
