Has gone off the boil of late. Others preferred.

Typically travelled well when landing 9-runner handicap at this C&D (10/3) 15 days ago. Should give another good account.
|
Not seen to best effect having been hampered 1f out when 5/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 15 days ago. Shouldn't be discounted at this level.
|
Course winner has been in good form most of the winter, latest win coming here in January. Respectable third of 8 in handicap (13/2) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 13 days ago and should run well again.
|
C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. Slowly away again when fourth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 13/2) 18 days ago. Each-way claims.
|
Keen sort returned to form (well-backed) on first run for yard after leaving Eve Johnson Houghton, third of 10 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago, again racing freely. Tongue strap back on and remains to be seen if he can build on most recent effort.
|
Course winner has been struggling for form, most recent seventh of 10 in handicap at this course (8.1f, 40/1) 15 days ago. Others preferred.
|
Turned in his best effort of the season when fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (12/1) 7 days ago. Could run well in first-time visor.
|
Only limited promise when fifth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (16/1) 15 days ago and hard to fancy from 1 lb out of the handicap.

Forecasts
Portoro (2/1), Clyde Bay (4/1), Yorkstone (11/2), Bomb Squad (7/1), Autumn Angel (10/1), Pinjarra (10/1), Lion's Dream (18/1), Melsmay (18/1), Create (25/1), Global Warning (40/1)
Two-time course winner BOMB SQUAD has been running creditably for most of the winter, and this looks a realistic opportunity to get his head in front again. Smooth-travelling Portoro remains of interest having won at this venue earlier in the month, while Lion's Dream is respected in a first-time visor having returned to form last time.
