3/1
Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D (AW) 13 days ago, readily. Looks capable of following up from 7 lb higher mark.

28/1
Seventh of 9 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 66/1) 22 days ago. Down in trip. Yet to fully fire for current yard, so looks opposable again.

11/1
Thrice-raced winner. Winner at Newcastle in February. 14/1, sixth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 21 days ago, doing too much too soon. Remains low mileage and it's possible she could have more to offer.

17/2
Blinkered for 1st time, good second of 7 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 9/2) 15 days ago, left poorly placed. Cheekpieces back on. Can give a good account with return to 6f appealing as a positive.

Forecasts

Saturnalia (5/2), Epic Express (3/1), Tyger Bay (9/2), Arctician (9/2), Masterclass (17/2), Jungle Charm (11/1), Seductive Power (28/1)

Verdict

EPIC EXPRESS was a ready winner over C&D 2 weeks ago and sets a good standard if returning here in the same form. Masterclass did well to make late inroads from rear at Southwell last time and also merits consideration, with Saturnalia another to bear in mind dropped back to a sprint trip.
