C&D winner. Latest win at Chelmsford (6f) in November. Sixth of 8 in handicap (28/1) at Newcastle (6f) 19 days ago. Visor back on and rider takes off a handy 5 lb. Good showing not ruled out.
|
C&D winner. Latest win at Windsor (5f) in August. 22/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 38 days ago, weakening final 1f. Return to this venue needs to have positive effect now but that rates distinctly possible.
|
C&D winner. 3/1, respectable 2 lengths third of 7 to El Hombre in handicap at Chelmsford (6f) 16 days ago, keeping on without being ideally placed. Proving consistent and he's a live each-way player once again.
|
Five wins from 19 runs last year. 9/4, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Chelmsford (6f) 33 days ago by 3½ lengths from Araifjan, quickening clear. Expected to be bang there in this groove.
|
Ended long losing run over C&D in October and continued in form since, resuming winning ways at Chelmsford (6f) 2 starts back. Finished head second at Lingfield latest and whilst he's less-than-ideally drawn here, his yard continue in fine form.
|
Low-mileage sort who posted a career-best effort to make a winning yard debut at Kempton (6f) 17 days ago, doing well to come from as far back as he did in a steadily-run affair. Of interest again.
|
Thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 125/1) 23 days ago, always behind. Passed over here despite his sliding mark.
|
C&D who ended losing run at Chelmsford (6f) in December. 14/1, not disgraced from wide draw when fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (5.1f) 25 days ago. Another who is likely to face competition up front here.
|
Latest win over C&D in August. However, lost his form thereafter, only ninth of 10 in C&D handicap 54 days ago. Absent since and probably best watched faced with a tricky draw.
|
C&D winner. 13/2 and hooded for 1st time, won 8-runner handicap at Chelmsford (6f) 18 days ago, keeping on well. Possibilities again from 3 lb higher mark.
|
Much improved when landing back-to-back 6f AW events for John Butler in October/November. Changed hands for 8,000 gns thereafter and he's not scaled the same heights subsequently.
|
First run since leaving David Evans when bit below form 4 lengths fifth of 12 to Rebel Redemption in C&D handicap back in March, no extra inside final 1f. Absent since so market may prove best guide on return.

Forecasts
Libra Tiger (5/2), Alafdhal (7/2), Beauzon (11/2), Muscika (7/1), Porfin (17/2), El Hombre (9/1), Araifjan (10/1), Sarah's Verse (20/1), Rebel Redemption (33/1), Kodi Gold (33/1), Mustaffiz (33/1), Starjik (50/1)
LIBRA TIGER belatedly built on the promise displayed in maidens when making a winning yard debut over this trip at Kempton 17 days ago, doing well to reel in a pair ridden more prominently. Still low-mileage, he may have more to offer and earns the vote from a handy draw. Alafdhal is a thriving sprinter and feared despite having gone up plenty in the weights. Beauzon and Muscika complete the shortlist.
- Libra Tiger5/2
- Alafdhal7/2
- Beauzon11/2
