9/4
Won 7-runner handicap (11/2) at Leicester (1m, heavy) on reappearance 8 days ago. A good chunk of his 6 lb rise is offset by his promising apprentice's claim.

5/1
C&D winner. Not at best on AW when last seen in November but she's feasibly handicapped if ready to roll after a break.

50/1, last of 13 in handicap at Kempton (1m) on recent return from a long absence. Might be seen in a better light back on turf but can only really watch for now.

Lightly-raced maiden. Ran poorly at Beverley on his final 3-yo start but returns as an unexposed sort. One to note in the betting.

11/1
Three-time C&D winner. 2 lengths sixth of 7 to Victoria Falls in handicap (10/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) on reappearance 49 days ago. Entitled to strip fitter for the outing and a player at a venue which evidently suits.

4/1
Career best when winning 11-runner C&D handicap (heavy, 7/1) 10 days ago, pushed out. 3 lb rise is unlikely to prevent another prominent showing.

Forecasts

Diffident Spirit (9/4), Nine Elms (4/1), Hot Chesnut (5/1), Alibaba (13/2), Enzos Angel (13/2), Eponina (11/1), Victoria Falls (12/1)

Verdict

EPONINA knows where the winning post is here and might prove the answer to this tight-looking handicap. Recent C&D scorer Nine Elms is feared most, while Hot Chesnut is nicely handicpped if ready to roll after 170 days off the track.

  1. Eponina11/1
  2. Nine Elms4/1
  3. Hot Chesnut5/1
