Twenty eight runs since his last success in 2021 but eased in weights this year and he ran creditably when third of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 25 days ago. Has a lower turf mark to work from if he can build on that and his yard continue in excellent form.

Won twice last year with give underfoot and solid return to action when fourth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 28/1) 49 days ago, weakening only late on. Should be sharper with that run under her belt and possibilities from 1 lb lower mark.

Latest win at Newcastle (6f) in March and run with credit next 3 starts on AW. Bit below form fifth of 12 in handicap (15/2) at Musselburgh (5f) 10 days ago and he still needs to confirm his effectiveness on ground softer than good.

Enjoyed a productive 2023, gaining a fourth success of the campaign at Hamilton (6f) in August. Better for his return when third of 13 in handicap at Thirsk (6f) 11 days ago and with his rider taking off a handy 3 lb, he's of firm interest here.

Confirmed positive signs from Catterick when running out a gutsy winner at Southwell (5f) 2 starts back but folded tamely when twelfth of 13 in handicap (4/1) at Thirsk (6f, heavy) 11 days ago. Needs to shrug that off turned out quickly.

Forecasts

Princess Karine (13/8), Westmorian (4/1), Mersea (9/2), Exalted Angel (9/2), Impressor (11/2)

Verdict

It could be worth siding with IMPRESSOR, who stepped forward from his comeback run when third over further at Thirsk 11 days ago and he's now just 1 lb above his last winning mark. Princess Karine and Exalted Angel are others to consider.
