4/5
Irish raider who confirmed recent promise on first foray on these shores when winning 8-runner handicap (4/1) at this course (14f) 12 days ago, driven clear. Well worthy of consideration again despite 6 lb rise.

Lightly raced for his age but essentially struggling for form since the turn of the year, weakening 1f out when sixth of 7 in handicap at this course (12.2f) 35 days ago. Needs to step up.

Three wins from 12 runs last year. Tenth of 12 in handicap (40/1) at Kempton (12f) 12 days ago, merely closing up late. Step back up in trip may help.

10/1
Course winner. Latest win here in January. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 5 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f, 7/2) 23 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and interesting if the market spoke in his favour.

12/1
Finished a good second here in January and quickly dispelled a lesser run tackling extended 2m when third of 9 in a C&D handicap 4 weeks ago, that despite not being ideally placed. One to consider operating from last winning mark.

4/1
Successful 3 times last year and having finished runner-up on 3 consecutive occasions, he resumed winning ways in 7-runner C&D handicap 19 days ago, getting first run. Rider's claims more than off-sets his rise in weights and he needs considering.

3-time C&D winner, latest in February. Dispelled a lesser effort without threatening when fourth of 9 in handicap (18/1) at this C&D 14 days ago. Each-way possibilities.

Forecasts

Slowdownbarney (4/5), Moon Over The Sea (4/1), Emaculate Soldier (9/1), Payment Plan (10/1), Grand Duchess Olga (12/1), Laser Focus (16/1), Black Smoke (20/1)

Verdict

SLOWDOWNBARNEY built on a sequence of placed efforts in Ireland when gaining a breakthrough success in a higher grade here 12 days ago and he may well be up to following up from this 7 lb higher mark. Grand Duchess Olga wasn't seen to best effect latest and rates a threat, with another last-time-out winner, Moon Over The Sea entitled to be in the mix, too.
