10/1

Pour Moi gelding who finished runner-up in pair of German minor events at 10f during first half of last year. Booking of Simon Walker very much an eye-catching one now handicapping for new yard and he's worth a second look.

11/2

Latest win at Chelmsford City in December. 11/4, below form fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (12f, AW) 20 days ago, fading final 1f. Cheekpieces back on and return to this shorter trip rates a plus.

Forecasts

Asgard's Captain (11/8), Blue Yonder (7/2), Chagall (11/2), Mr Trick (11/2), Rosenpur (10/1), Escobedo (16/1), Luna Magic (25/1), Eagle Eyed Tom (33/1), Rolypolymoly (50/1)

The form of ASGARD'S CAPTAIN's yard debut success at Wolverhampton 12 days ago has been franked and, with the possibility of a little more to come now his stamina is drawn out further, he could well be the answer. Mr Trick returned to this shorter trip and Newcastle-scorer Blue Yonder head the dangers, with Jennie Candlish's ex-German recruit Rosenpur another to monitor closely.
