7/2
Three wins from 12 runs last year. Career best when winning 6-runner handicap (5/2) at Chelmsford City (10f) 8 days ago, having run of race. May find things that bit tougher in this bigger field under a penalty but certainly not discounted.

C&D winner. Latest win here in December. 14/1, creditable third of 13 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 10 days ago, left with lot to do. Fancied to be thereabouts again.

Latest win here (8.6f) in December. 11/1, respectable seventh of 13 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 10 days ago, denied a run 1f out and running on. Return to this longer trip will hold no fears.

11/1
4-time course winner. Three wins from 11 runs last year. 9/1, good second of 9 in handicap at this C&D 35 days ago, finding only a less exposed rival too good. Mark has crept up a little but he's a player with a repeat.

12/1
Two wins from 6 runs last year. Probably needed the run following 6 months off when ninth of 11 in handicap (66/1) at Newcastle (8f) 24 days ago. Better showing anticipated returned to this longer trip.

10/1
Winner at Lingfield (10f) in December. Ninth of 14 in handicap (3/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 19 days ago, weakening approaching final 1f having not settled fully. Still, he remains early days with this yard and not one to write off from revised mark.

Eased in weights and ran well to finish runner-up here/Southwell last month. May of found another quick turnaround against him when below form seventh of 12 in a C&D handicap thereafter and he's not one to write off returning from 27 days off.

Forecasts

Eagle Day (3/1), Wadacre Gomez (7/2), Master Of Combat (7/1), Warren Hill (8/1), Ninth Life (10/1), Arcadian Nights (11/1), Hale End (11/1), Ernie's Valentine (11/1), My Little Queens (12/1), Law Supreme (25/1), Light Up Our Stars (40/1), Buxted Too (66/1)

Verdict

Having eased a little in the weights, ARCADIAN NIGHTS found only a far less exposed sort too good on his latest outing over C&D 5 weeks ago and he could be worth siding with to build on that now. Master of Combat, Ernie's Valentine and Warren Hill head up the dangers in what rates a very competitive affair.
