6/4
Ran creditably making his handicap/turf debut after 4 months off when third of 8 at Bath (8f, heavy, 12/1) 4 weeks ago. Back up in trip and may well build on that.

9/1
Found brief run of good form coming to an abrupt halt when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Newbury (20.5f, heavy, 33/1) 3 months ago. Makes Flat debut for this yard and not discounted provided he's ready to roll after a break.

11/4
17/2 and blinkered for 1st time, wasn't seen to best effect back on all-weather when sixth of 7 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 5 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Back up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Dual course winner in recent weeks, he should be in the mix.

12/1
C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in January. 18/1, went with some promise without totally convincing with her stamina on her first crack at hurdling when fifth of 8 at Plumpton (15.9f, good to firm) just over 3 weeks ago. More needed back on the level.

9/1
Temperamental sort. Ran better than previously this year when fourth of 10 in handicap (12/1) at this course (11.9f, good to soft) 13 days ago, slowly away. Not one to have maximum faith in building on that but drop back in trip should suit.

11/2
11/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, soft) 12 days ago. Remains a long-standing maiden though, so it's probably best to look elsewhere even though a promising claimer takes the ride.

Forecasts

On The Cards (6/4), Uncle Dick (11/4), Twilight Guest (11/2), Douglas Dc (9/1), Semser (9/1), Shalfa (12/1)

Verdict

Impossible to rule out any of the sextet, but preference is for UNCLE DICK, who has already won twice over 1m here this year and is fancied to add to that tally stepping back up in trip with his usual cheekpieces reapplied. On The Cards remains unexposed, so he can give the selection most to think about, with Douglas Dc rounding off the shortlist.
