Won at Ascot and Newmarket on her final 2 starts in 2022. Lost her action when last seen over hurdles at Chepstow and interesting to see what market makes of her chances back on the level.

Winner at Wolverhampton in December. Ran up to his best when fifth of 9 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f, good to firm) 21 days ago and shouldn't be discounted here having slipped slightly in the weights.

9/2
Attracted support and duly maintained his unbeaten record at Ayr when winning a 6-runner event there (15f, good to firm) 12 days ago in comfortable fashion. Nudged up 5 lb but would rate as a leading player if in the same form this time.

Useful stayer for Ralph Beckett a couple of seasons back but struggled in 3 starts over hurdles for Alan King during the winter. Lifeless efforts for new yard back on the Flat in recent months and it's best to look elsewhere.

Dual winner last seaon for Ian Williams but has failed to fire in 3 starts this year since joining this yard. Has a decent record at this course (3 wins) but others are preferred on recent efforts.

:Fairly useful 2m4f winner over hurdles for Charlie Mann in 2020. Stepped up from his return after yet another lengthy absence when third of 8 in handicap at this C&D (good) 21 days ago. Expected to be bang there from same mark.

Showed ability in a novice and a maiden for Tom Clover but has offered little in a pair of starts for his current yard, folding tamely on his handicap debut at Haydock last week.

Forecasts

Capone (6/4), Malakahna (7/2), Oman (7/2), Grand Canal (9/2), Percy Jones (10/1), Heart Of Soul (25/1), Lumberjack (50/1)

Verdict

Not a particularly deep contest, with CAPONE fancied to build upon his fine C&D third and score for the first time since 2020. Percy Jones still looks on a fair mark and ran well at Salisbury last time, whilst Grand Canal is another serious player if able to replicate his Ayr form here.

  1. Capone6/4
  2. Percy Jones10/1
  3. Grand Canal9/2
