11/2
13/2, respectable fourth of 16 in useful handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 94 days ago, not ideally placed. 4-4 over C&D and easy to see him winning again back from a break.

11/2
Off 8 months, tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable second of 5 in handicap at Thirsk (14f, good to firm, 85/40) 7 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. One to be interested in with that under his belt.

Course winner. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 15/2) 50 days ago, slowly away. Up in trip. Visor back on. Can make presence felt if back on song.

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, first run since leaving Jane Chapple-Hyam when last of 9 in handicap at Chester (12.3f, heavy, 9/1) 16 days ago, eased as if amiss. Plenty to prove.

25/1, didn't need to improve to win 10-runner handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 21 days ago, just holding on. Still well treated on best form after 2 lb rise.

11/8
Progressive when notching 3 wins on the Flat for Nigel Tinkler last year. Won a juvenile hurdle for this yard in January and showed he's still ahead of mark back on the Flat when seeing off 9 rivals at Kempton (11f, 9/4) 19 days ago. Can go well again.

Forecasts

Goblet Of Fire (11/8), Optician (11/2), Boldly (11/2), Eleanor Cross (7/1), Fearless Bay (10/1), Rocha Do Leao (14/1), Buxted Too (16/1), Glory Nights (22/1), The Bay Warrior (28/1), Strike Alliance (40/1), Deadlock (100/1)

Verdict

It's easy to see OPTICIAN successfully defending his unbeaten C&D record back from a break. He topped off a wonderful winter with a solid effort in a much more competitive contest at Lingfield when last seen and can make it 5-5 here on his return. Goblet of Fire can go well again, with Boldly and Buxted Too completing the shortlist.
