13/8
Likeable veteran who scored at Redcar in April and backed it up with a solid fourth at Doncaster (1m4f) 14 days ago. Goes really well on soft ground so this C&D winner is a player eased 1 lb here.

Resumed winning ways at Lingfield in March. Left with too much to do when fifth of 14 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, soft) 36 days ago. Shortlisted.

10/3
Dual 1m2f winner last autumn who posted an encouraging reappearance sixth of 14 at Bath (11.5f) 36 days ago. Well in the mix off a 1 lb lower mark.

Fair 1m2f maiden in 2022 but he came in last of 6 in 8.5f Wolverhampton handicap on his return after nine months off the track. Has a bit to prove now.

7/2
Consistent sort who scored at Doncaster (1m2f) in October. Beat only one in 1m2f Haydock handicap on his return but he's the type to bounce back.

Forecasts

Lunar Jet (13/8), At Liberty (10/3), Red Derek (7/2), Masqool (9/2), Whirlwind (10/1), Equion (25/1)

Verdict

LUNAR JET handles soft ground really well so this likeable C&D scorer can quickly resume winning ways eased 1 lb for a good Doncaster fourth last time. At Liberty rates a big threat though if, as expected, building on an encouraging reappearance sixth at Bath, while in-form Masqool is another who needs factoring into an open handicap.
