11/4
5/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at this C&D when last seen in November. Down another 1 lb and he's very much one to consider.

12/1
Three wins from 17 runs last year. Bit below form fourth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 6/1) on latest start 138 days ago. 0-8 on AW and she looks vulnerable.

9/1
Course winner. 28/1, creditable third of 13 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 26 days ago. Reproduction of that would put him firmly in the picture here.

3/1
Three-time C&D winner. Four wins from 18 runs last year. Didn't need to improve to win 11-runner handicap at this C&D (7/1) 32 days ago. 2 lb nudge fair enough but this looks tougher.

7/1
C&D winner in February. 5/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago, slowly away. Cheekpieces back on and he's opposable on balance.

15/2
Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Fourth of 7 in minor event (6/4) at this course (10.2f) 17 days ago. Back up in trip and he's not without an each-way chance.

Forecasts

Gastronomy (11/4), Spirit Of Ash (3/1), Desert Quest (5/1), Yakhabar (7/1), Tiberio Force (15/2), Starfighter (9/1), Tafsir (12/1), Broctune Azure (80/1)

Verdict

GASTRONOMY has slipped to an attractive mark and shaped as though working his way back to form when fifth over this C&D on his latest appearance in November. If able to build on that back from a break, he could be the answer. Starfighter didn't do much wrong at Kempton last time and is second choice ahead of Tiberio Force.
