10/1
Opened account over 6f here last spring and improved on that form when second on nursery debut at Windsor (6f) in July. Proved rather disappointing next 2 starts so needs to hit the ground running back from 8 months off/following wind surgery.

10/1
Lightly-raced maiden who was well supported back from 5 months off and matched pick of his 2-y-o form when third in a Kempton maiden (7f) in January. Over faced at listed level on latest outing 6 weeks ago but gelded subsequently and return to handicaps much more suitable.

9/4
Justify colt who knuckled down well when opening his account at the third attempt in a Chelmsford maiden (7f) when last seen in October. Boasts a fine pedigree and he's very much the type to do better again now handicapping as a 3-y-o. Respected.

Opened his account despite doing plenty wrong at Kempton (7f) in January. However, proved easy to back and ran poorly starting out for new yard when eighth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (7f) 26 days ago. Others preferred back on turf.

11/1
Son of Land Force who was well suited by step up to 7f (also gelded) when seeing off 12-rivals in a Chelmsford novice in October. That may not prove his limit and Ryan Moore an eye-catching booking on return from 6 months off.

Profitable filly who remains a maiden following 7 attempts but backed up previous best when third of 9 in handicap at Epsom (7f) in October. Eased 1 lb ahead of return and the betting may prove a useful guide back from 6 months off.

9/2
Progressive in novice/maiden company, looking likely winner before hanging right straight when second at Chester (7f, soft) in September. Better than result (raced freely) when fourth on nursery debut at Haydock (7f) final start. Gelded ahead of return and likely he can do better this term.

Built on debut effort when winning 9-runner novice here (6f) last June. However, went the wrong way in handful of starts thereafter, including when last of 5 in a first-time visor at Catterick (7f) in October. Gelded ahead of return/yard debut and the market should prove a useful guide.

Improved when winning 8-runner event on handicap bow at Chelmsford in February, overcoming positional bias. Lines up here following a creditable fourth back at that venue (6f) 18 days ago and she's one to consider back on turf, particularly if sharpening up her starts.

Forecasts

Spun To Gold (9/4), Runaround Sioux (4/1), Our Havana (9/2), Rating (8/1), Flag Of St George (10/1), Aljezur (10/1), Pressure's On (11/1), Flag Carrier (25/1), Empire Of Light (25/1)

Verdict

SPUN TO GOLD quickly got back on track when winning a 5-runner maiden at Chelmsford in October and with his pedigree suggesting he will go on improving this year, Andrew Balding's charge makes a good deal of appeal on return/handicap debut. Pressure's On, a winner on his final start as a 2-y-o, is also worth a look partnered by Ryan Moore. Runaround Sioux and Our Havana are others to note.
