2/1

Latest win at Newcastle in November. Respectable third of 10 in handicap at this C&D (11/4) 17 days ago, despite pulling hard/hanging left. Clearly still on a fair mark and one to be interested in.

3/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 5/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, respectable seventh of 13 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 60 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Makes tapeta debut. Merits consideration.

Forecasts

Roudemental (2/1), Soames Forsyte (3/1), Baby Steps (9/2), Visibility (6/1), Siam Fox (13/2), Enough Already (8/1), Crownthorpe (17/2), Golden Sands (33/1), Mercurius Power (33/1)

ROUDEMENTAL is clearly still on a fair mark and can take advantage if proving more tractable. Soames Forsyte was a shade disappointing at Kempton last time but isn't one to give up on just yet, especially as he remains lightly raced. Baby Steps arrives in good heart and completes the shortlist.
