Found some improvement partnered with this rider during second half of last year, making it 3 wins from last 4 starts when taking 12-runner handicap at Lingfield (12f) in November. Worth considering again back from 98 days off.

Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 23 days ago. Remains early days but he does need to step up on that to figure here.

Winner at Wolverhampton in October. 3/1, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap back at that venue (9.5f) 19 days ago, pushed along 2f out and keeping on. Slightly longer trip may eke out a little more improvement.

80/1
40/1, first run since leaving David Menuisier when seventh of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 18 days ago, slowly away and always behind. Still, not one to give up on just yet at a low level.

Maiden who ran best race for this yard when second of 10 in a C&D handicap last winter. Absent since finishing tenth of 12 in handicap at Southwell 12 months ago however, and betting may prove a useful guide now.

Capstan (6/4), Nivelle's Magic (7/2), Trusty Scout (11/2), Fast Affair (7/1), Star Of Epsom (10/1), Drill To Dream (11/1), Truth Will Out (20/1), Zambezi Magic (22/1), Canal Rocks (50/1), Anticipating (80/1), Bloom Of Greece (80/1)

Verdict

NIVELLE'S MAGIC found some improvement to make it 3 wins from her last 4 starts on turf/AW during the second half of last year and with her attitude an asset, she's fancied to make her presence felt again back from 3 months off. Capstan, who justified support to score at Lingfield recently, is worth considering. Fast Affair and Trusty Scout complete the shortlist in the finale.
