5/4

Hooded for first time and shaped nicely when seventh of 21 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good) 30 days ago, missing break and also denied a clear run. Back up in trip which will suit and he's a major player.

Improved to win 9-runner handicap hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f, good, evens) 17 days ago. Down in trip. Fairly useful on the Flat and given a chance by the handicapper for his in-form yard.

7/1

15/2, posted another sound effort when second of 10 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f, good) 24 days ago, not ideally placed. Can get involved.

Robbo²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: S W Kelly| T: G & J Moore| OR: 78

33/1

Easy to forgive sixth of 8 in handicap (9/2) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 27 days ago given he was badly hampered. Up in trip, which looks well worth exploring.

Form: 582-756

11/1

C&D winner. Respectable seventh of 14 in handicap (28/1) at Newbury (10f, good) 16 days ago. Should strip fitter for that.

Forecasts

Promethean (5/4), Dancing In Paris (7/2), Expert Witness (7/1), First Officer (7/1), Fast Steps (15/2), Xiomara (9/1), Lilly Lux (10/1), Silver Gunn (11/1), Morcar (11/1), Ocean Heights (16/1), Croeso Cymraeg (16/1), He's A Latchico (25/1), Robbo (33/1)

PROMETHEAN's reappearance in the Spring Mile was full of promise and with Tom Marquand taking over back up in trip (will suit) he has plenty to recommend him. This is a good contest, though, with recent hurdles scorer He's A Latchico and First Officer (winner of this race a year ago) just a couple of potential threats.
