Inconsistent on the Flat in recent months, underperforming when down the field at Nottingham (10.2f, good) 11 days ago. Last seen in the sphere when winning at Musselburgh in November 2022 but it's tough to know what mood he will be in, so others look more solid.

Has made a promising start for his new yard, finishing runner-up for the second start in a row at Southwell (20.4f, soft) earlier this month. Looks sure to be winning again soon.

Fairly useful Flat performer who took very well to hurdles last summer, completing a maiden/novice hat-trick. Last seen in winning action at Stratford (18.7f, good to soft) 8 months ago and returning just 2 lb higher, he warrants plenty of respect (has had a wind op).

Has clearly been hard to train but still has time on his side and resumed his progression on his second start back from a lengthy absence when winning 9-runner handicap at Bangor (16.7f, good) just over 3 weeks ago. 8 lb higher and capable of kicking on granted a clear run at things.

Fairly useful 12f Flat winner for Heather Main and scored readily in this sphere for his new yard in 2m Huntingdon novice last month. Followed up from a generous opening handicap mark at Southwell (15.8f, soft) earlier this month and every chance he can complete the hat-trick.

Fairly useful form at best in Ireland, but after a 14-month absence off he made a discouraging start for his new yard when tailed off at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) earlier this month, possibly amiss. Fared no better at Worcester since, so others more persuasive.

Off the mark at Worcester last summer when trained by Alan King. Ran up to his best back hurdling after a chasing mishap when going down by a short head back at Worcester (16f, good) 11 days ago and it surely won't be much longer in adding to his sole win.

Back-to-back winner off higher marks over fences in summer 2022 but more miss than hit in various race-types since. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

Fairly useful maiden on the Flat for Joseph O'Brien. Had cut little ice in 2 starts for Sheila Lewis but got his career back on track making his handicap debut minus cheekpieces for another new yard after 5 months off when scoring at Market Rasen earlier this month. Task is now to build on that.

Forecasts

Mostly Sunny (6/4), Forget The Way (10/3), Maxcel (11/2), Myristica (13/2), Elham Valley (12/1), Right Now (14/1), Byzantine Empire (28/1), Sonning (33/1), Cillians Charm (80/1)

Verdict

This can go to FORGET THE WAY, who has made a cracking start for this yard this season and surely won't be much longer in adding to his sole win. Mostly Sunny arrives on a hat-trick, and with further improvement on the cards, Dan Skelton's 5-y-o can give the selection most to think about, with Elham Valley and recent Market Rasen winner Right Now rounding off the shortlist.
