7/4
Gelded/off 4 months following his debut and well backed, he landed 9-runner novice here (7f) in October. Similar form despite still showing signs of greenness when third under a penalty at Chelmsford (7f) a month later and he's likely got more to offer now handicapping.

1/1
Has improved with each run to date, off the mark at third attempt in a Kempton novice (1m) in December and impressive when following up from the front in-runner handicap back at that venue 24 days ago. Big shout up just 3 lb.

11/2
Gelded/off 6 months before impressively landing 12-runner nursery at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in December. Had no trouble following up in 8-runner handicap here (7f) 21 days ago (well on top finish) and he appeals as the type to go improving for a while yet. Solid claims.

12/1
Earthlight gelding who has displayed fair form on 2 of his 3 starts to date, latterly when fourth of 10 in novice at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 5 weeks ago. Starts out in handicaps in a warm enough affair and likely he'll need to pull out more to play a lead role.

Forecasts

Molveno (1/1), Royal Alliance (7/4), Studious (11/2), Joseph (12/1)

Verdict

STUDIOUS has impressed in registering back-to-back victories following his switch to handicaps, marking himself down as the type who will go on improving for a while yet when successful over 7f here 3 weeks ago. The return to this longer trip will hold no fears and Mark Loughnane's charge earns the vote to complete the hat-trick. Molveno is also progressing at a rate of knots and he's selected as the chief threat, ahead of Royal Alliance.
