25/1
C&D winner in May and proved at least as good as ever when following up in 13-runner handicap (7/1) at Epsom (6f, good to soft) when last seen 7 months ago. Returns 4 lb higher and the likelihood is he will need this outing.

Back to winning ways in Newmarket listed race in April 2022 and, having been gelded, won the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot in June of that year. Ran poorly 7 months on when tailed-off last at Meydan in January 2023 not seen since. Has switched yards (130,000 gns) ahead of this handicap bow.

3/1
Group 3 winner in France in 2023 and just about a career best when runner-up in listed company on reappearance last season. Didn't come close to matching that form in 3 outings after though, and now makes all/weather/handicap debut returning from 7 months off the track (had wind op). Interesting.

Ran better than last time without returning to form when 5¾ lengths seventh of 10 to The Caltonian in handicap (40/1) at this C&D 16 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Others look stronger for win purposes.

Very useful front-runner who won 3 times during 2023 and signed off with highly-respectable pair of in-the-frame efforts. Well-beaten last of 9 on return from 6 months off at Haydock (7f, heavy) back in April and presumably has had his issues to not have been seen since.

Useful at 2 yrs, notably runner-up in the Norfolk at Royal Ascot. Ran respectably back up in trip when 4¼ lengths fourth of 10 to The Caltonian in handicap (12/1) at this C&D 16 days ago and more required if he's to double his career tally.

12/1
C&D winner. 3/1, rejuvenated by a return to synthetics after 11 weeks off when winning 10-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 18 days ago, edging ahead line to capitalise on a career-low mark. Should remain competitive from just 3 lb higher.

9/1, proved better than ever to record a sixth career success and his fifth at this track in 10-runner handicap at this C&D 16 days ago by length from We Never Stop. Was in good form around this time last year too and should go well again.

Latest win at Southwell in November. 15/8, again found only one too good when second of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford (6f) 6 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and inexperienced amateur takes over in the plate.

7/2
Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (10/3) at this C&D 27 days ago, leading over 1f out then storming clear. Handicapper has reacted with a 10 lb rise, but he may well have not finished improving on the all-weather.

Twenty-four runs since last win in 2022. Went close to ending a lengthy losing run from a gradually relenting mark when equal-third of 12 to We Never Stop in handicap (5/1) at Southwell (6.1f) just under 11 weeks ago. Considered having yet to finish outside of the first 3 on all-weather.

Promising individual. C&D winner. Four wins from 7 runs last year. 9/4, continued his run-to-run progression after 9 weeks off when winning 9-runner handicap at Kempton (7f) in November, pushed out. Freshened up since and merits consideration from a 6 lb higher mark.

Verdict

An ultra-competitive sprint with any number to consider but the vote goes to MARSHMAN, who boasts an excellent record when fresh and has had a breathing operation ahead of his handicap/all-weather debut. Heathcliff has won 4 of his last 6 outings and having been freshened up since his most recent success, he's put forward as the main threat. King's Lynn and recent wide-margin C&D winner Cajetan are another couple worth mentioning, too.
