13/2
One win from 26 Flat runs, finally off the mark here in January. Good second of 9 in handicap (7/2) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 20 days ago and he's clearly going through a good spell currently.

10/1
C&D winner. Seventh of 9 in handicap (13/8) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 24 days ago. That was disappointing back in this grade but he's capable of bouncing back.

28/1, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 46 days ago. Lurks on a dangerous mark at present so isn't ruled out.

First run since leaving Charlie Fellowes when tenth of 12 in handicap (50/1) at this course (5f) 18 days ago. Back up in trip and needs to leave that effort well behind.

5/1
C&D winner. Latest win here in March. Good second of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 6/1) 17 days ago. This is an easier band of handicap so he seems sure to go well.

7/2
6/1, improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap at this course (7.1f) 4 days ago, just holding on. Carries penalty back in trip and may have even more to offer for this yard.

Forecasts

Kath's Toyboy (7/2), Papa Cocktail (4/1), Blackjack (5/1), Gunnerside (6/1), Thismydream (13/2), Politics (10/1), Spartan Fighter (10/1), Majeski Man (11/1), Bond Boy (25/1), Fai Fai (80/1)

Verdict

BLACKJACK has enjoyed a productive period on the AW and an excellent second in a better handicap than this at Chelmsford last time suggests he's ready to go in again. Politics is a danger if shrugging aside a lesser run at Lingfield, with Thismydream likely to give it another good go.

  1. Blackjack5/1
  2. Politics10/1
  3. Thismydream13/2
