10/1
Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. 9/1, proved a bit of a let-down when 7½ lengths last of 6 to Manaafith in listed race at Lingfield (8f, AW) 5 weeks ago. Better showing anticipated back at 7f.

4/1
Latest win at Southwell in January. Not in same form when seventh of 8 in handicap (8/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 2 weeks ago. Not taken lightly back down in distance.

6/4
Six wins from 22 Flat runs, at least as good as ever when also winning 7-runner handicap (18/5) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 3 weeks ago, staying on to lead close home. Leading claims once again.

12/1
Course winner. Ran poorly when eighth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (9/1) 6 months ago. Will need to hit the ground running.

22/1
C&D winner. Last of 4 in minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW, 10/3) 3 weeks ago. Back in handicap company here and not without each-way claims.

9/2
28/1, not seen to best effect when sixth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 16 days ago, ideally needing stronger gallop. Down to a career-low mark and fancied to go very close with pace assured.

18/1
80/1, stiff task when 9¼ lengths thirteenth of 14 to Azure Blue in listed race at Newmarket (6f, good) when last seen 5 months ago, ridden too aggressively. May need this outing so others make more appeal.

16/1
C&D winner. 11/1, run best excused when seventh of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 4 months ago, doing too much too soon. Will need to settle much better if he's to have a say on return.

16/1
C&D winner. Ran as well as could've been expected when third of 4 in minor event (5/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 3 weeks ago, having run of race. Each-way player back in handicap company.

28/1
17/2, looked rusty after 6 months off on first run since leaving Marcus Tregoning when 5 lengths fifth of 7 to Tiger Crusade in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 3 weeks ago, very slowly away. Others more persuasive.

Forecasts

Tiger Crusade (6/4), Lord Of The Lodge (4/1), On A Session (9/2), Mums Tipple (10/1), Above (12/1), Sir Oliver (16/1), River Pride (16/1), Golden Spice (18/1), Amber Island (22/1), Power of Darkness (28/1)

Verdict

There was enough in ON A SESSION's sixth at Southwell last month to suggest he's about as good as he was last year, so having dropped to a career-low mark and with a decent pace to aim at almost guaranteed, he gets the nod for David & Nicola Barron. Tiger Crusade won for the second time this year at Lingfield 3 weeks ago and he may emerge as the main danger, ahead of Lord of The Lodge and Mums Tipple, in a fascinating feature contest.

  1. On A Session9/2
