10/3
Course winner. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 11/4) 28 days ago. Doesn't look the easiest of rides but possesses raw ability to be a big factor at this level.

Five wins from 19 runs last year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. 13/2, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 5 days ago. Type to bounce back given overall AW profile.

C&D winner. Three wins from 11 runs last year. Latest win here in November. 3½ lengths seventh of 9 to Lihou in handicap at Southwell (5f, 18/1) 12 days ago. Needs to cast that effort aside.

Forecasts

Gannon Glory (2/1), Vespasian (10/3), Mick's Spirit (10/3), Alafdhal (6/1), Lihou (15/2), Watermelon Sugar (22/1), Pop Dancer (28/1)

Verdict

The return to 5f may see VESPASIAN in a better light and he certainly possesses the ability to win in this grade. He's marginally preferred in favour of recent Southwell winner Lihou and Alafdhal.
