5/1
Three wins from 11 runs last year but finished last of 6 in handicap (4/1) at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) on final outing. Could bounce back after 6 months off.

10/1
Four wins from 13 runs last year. Not quite at his best at Ayr on final outing and it's possible he may just need the run after 6 months off.

9/2
Fair maiden. Respectable third of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 15/2) on final outing. Off 145 days but not taken lightly.

Course winner in July. Ended last season a little out of sorts but latest effort at Redcar best overlooked. Off 166 days.

28/1
4-time C&D winner who failed to justify support when only 8¾ lengths fourth of 6 to Havana Rum in handicap at this C&D (soft, 7/2) on final outing. Off 6 months.

9/1
Latest win at Redcar in October but wasn't in the same form at Newcastle (5f) on final outing. Off 141 days and his record suggests he'll probably need the run.

Forecasts

Mersea (7/2), Trilby (9/2), Slainte Mhath (5/1), Foreseeable Future (13/2), John Kirkup (9/1), Impressor (10/1), Slingsbytoo (11/1), Speedacus (11/1), Havana Rum (16/1), Redrosezorro (28/1)

Verdict

TRILBY is still a maiden but he ran well on his final 2 outings last year and is selected to make a winning return. Slainte Mhath could bounce back on her return to action, while Mersea should appreciate this marked drop in grade.

  1. Trilby9/2
  2. Slainte Mhath5/1
  3. Mersea7/2
