7/2
Latest win at Southwell (7f) in January. Fourth of 7 in handicap (9/1) at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) 24 days ago, headed over 1f out and not quicken. Ease in class a plus back on all weather at least.

11/2
6-y-o who doubled career tally from a 1 lb lower mark at Kempton (7f) in October 2020. Nearer last than first confined to just 3 starts since on turf in Meydan, latterly over 1m in February. Does return with yard in good nick and he remains unexposed on AW.

4/1
Enjoyed a productive 2021, gaining fifth success of the year at Lingfield (7f) on New Year's Eve. As good as ever of late, second of 11 in a C&D handicap 24 days ago. Should go well again.

11/4
C&D winner. Bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (1m, AW) in April, losing momentum at a crucial stage but keeping on again last ½f. Not discounted from reduced mark given solid record around here.

Course winner. 66/1, 14½ lengths eleventh of 12 to Soft Whisper in listed race at Newmarket (1m) in September, ridden 3f out and labouring soon after. Probably best watched on first outing since.

4/1
Dual 6f winner in 2021 who ran right up to best on AW debut when creditable third of 9 in a C&D handicap 10 days ago, staying on without getting on terms. Not discounted in this groove.

12/1
C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Seventh of 10 in handicap at this course (6f, 20/1) 10 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Forecasts

Karibana (11/4), Mehmento (7/2), Sir Oliver (4/1), Natural Path (4/1), Light And Dark (11/2), Revolutionise (12/1), Lalania (100/1)

Verdict

A competitive handicap and it may just pay to take a chance on low-mileage 6-y-o LIGHT AND DARK. He returns with his yard going along nicely and, having tasted success on his sole previous try on all-weather, this could be the time to catch him. Karibana goes particularly well at this venue and is feared, ahead of Sir Oliver and Natural Path.
