7/4
Winner at Lingfield (10f) in March. 10/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good to soft) 9 days ago, running creditably despite being unable to dominate. Should give another good account.

3/1
Showed improved form to land back-to-back Chelmsford handicaps (1m) in January. However, he wasn't convincing with his application when last seen, hanging left when last of 8 at Yarmouth (1m) in April. Short break needs to have had a positive effect.

Successful twice on AW/turf from higher marks last summer. Respectable efforts in defeat earlier this year and likely he'll come on for his first start for 3 months at Lingfield 18 days ago. Worth considering.

11/1
Signed off last season with success in first-time blinkers at Kempton (7f) in September, albeit seen to maximum effect from the front. May have needed last month's return to action at that venue but he does need to step up plenty on that to figure here.

Forecasts

Legende d'Art (11/8), Shuv H'penny King (13/8), Bakersboy (7/4), Almaan (3/1), Helluvaboy (11/1)

Verdict

A tricky small-field opener and it may pay to side with SHUV H'PENNY KING. He's fallen below his last winning mark and, expected to come forward from his first start for 3 months at Lingfield in May makes appeal partnered by Benoit de la Sayette. Legende d'Art who scored at Yarmouth recently is feared most, ahead of Bakersboy.
