Course winner. Three wins from 17 runs last year and took a step back in the right direction when sixth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 15 days ago. Visor back on. Becoming well treated.

Latest win at Musselburgh in October and shaped better than the bare result when sixth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 20/1) 15 days ago, not much room from 2f out.

11/8, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Musselburgh (9f, good to firm), suited by increase in trip. 14lb higher now. Off 136 days. First run for yard after leaving Thomas Dowling.

Forecasts

English Spirit (11/4), Kingwell (9/2), Lunarscape (11/2), Surprise Picture (6/1), Asgard's Captain (13/2), Mr Boson (13/2), Admiral Nelson (12/1), Pembrokeshire (14/1)

Verdict

The vote goes to LUNARSCAPE, who found only a well-treated pair too strong on her stable debut at this course 16 days ago. Asgard's Captain has been hit hard by the assessor for his wide-margin win at Musselburgh back in August but further improvement can't be ruled out on first start for Dylan Cunha. Surprise Picture has dropped to a handy mark and completes the shortlist having taken a step back in the right direction at Newcastle last time.

  1. Lunarscape11/2
  2. Asgard's Captain13/2
  3. Surprise Picture6/1
