5/2
Latest win at Chelmsford City in November. Good second of 6 in handicap (13/8) at Kempton (6f) 13 days ago. 2 lb nudge fair enough and he's the one to beat.

17/2
Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap (40/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 33 days ago. Drop back to the minimum trip will be in his favour and likely to be on the premises.

10/3, career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 1 day ago. Good chance again in hat-trick bid if turned out quickly.

Improved to win 7-runner handicap (17/2) at Lingfield (5f, AW) 9 days ago. More needed under a penalty here.

Thrice-raced maiden. 100/1, seventh of 8 in minor event at Southwell (5f), slowly away. Off 176 days ahead of this handicap debut and big step forward needed.

Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 10 in nursery (22/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f). Off 91 days and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

12/1
Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, ninth of 10 in minor event at Southwell (7.1f) 46 days ago. Down in trip for this handicap debut. Will only be of interest if the market vibes are notably upbeat.

Forecasts

Jungle Dance (5/2), Zachary (5/2), Arlington (9/2), Desert Master (17/2), Lady Of The Garr (17/2), Tip Top Tank (12/1), Smooth Silesie (12/1), Grid Iron Maiden (14/1)

Verdict

The suggestion is DESERT MASTER, who has slipped to an attractive mark and shaped well on his first start since being gelded when fourth in a 6f Southwell handicap, leaving the impression that this return to the minimum trip would be just the ticket. Zachary hit the crossbar at Kempton recently and he won't go down without a fight, while the hat-trick seeking Jungle Dance would have to be feared if lining up again.

  1. Desert Master17/2
