9/2
Three wins from 8 runs last year. Too keen when 25/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Goodwood (8f, good to soft) when last seen. Will need to settle back at 7f if he's to make an impact on return.

17/2
Third in the Lincoln on reappearance/first run for this stable last season. Couldn't match that form subsequently but dangerous if back to his best after 6 months off.

7/4
Consistent sort shaped well on a rare outing over 6f last time when respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at this course. Respected back at 7f from 2 lb below his last winning mark.

8/1
C&D winner. Two wins from 6 runs last year. Latest win here in February but found recent run of good form coming to a halt when 3/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at this course (7f, AW) 31 days ago. Type to bounce back quickly.

Likely needed the run when tenth of 14 in handicap (40/1) at Doncaster (7f, good) 29 days ago. Should be much sharper here and could have a say now racing from his last successful mark.

4/1
C&D winner was in good heart for much of last year. Found to have bled when bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (7f, AW, 8/1) in December. Could get back on track following a break.

13/2
C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2024 but creditable third of 10 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm, 10/3) 16 days ago, shaping as though will be well suited by this return to 7f. Should give another good account.

Forecasts

Diamondonthehill (7/4), State Flag (4/1), Signcastle City (9/2), Bell Shot (13/2), Rey De La Batalla (8/1), Navagio (17/2), Society Lion (22/1)

Verdict

A competitive handicap made even more trappy by an obvious lack of pace. DIAMONDONTHEHILL is marginally preferred having shaped well on a rare outing over 6f last time and he may be rewarded for his consistency back at 7f. Third in the Lincoln on his first run of last season, Navagio would be a serious player if back to his best on reappearance, while State Flag had a largely positive profile last year and could get back on track following a break.
