11/2
Twenty three runs since last win in 2022 but he took a step back in the right direction when sixth of 13 in handicap at Musselburgh (8f, good, 13/2) 18 days ago. Handily weighted if building on that.

Twenty runs since last win in 2023 and only ninth of 10 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, heavy, 8/1) 6 months ago. Needs to bounce back on his seasonal return.

Latest win at Newcastle in December. Not so good on turf and came in last of 10 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Not discounted back on AW though.

A four-time winner last year and he posted a creditable third of 18 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, good, 28/1) 33 days ago. Back down in trip and one to consider.

Built on earlier promise when a very good second of 13 in handicap (9/2) at this C&D 23 days ago, sticking to task. Weighted to go well nudged up 1 lb.

Forecasts

Down To The Kid (7/4), Milteye (7/2), Jack Daniel (9/2), Dawn Of Liberation (11/2), Love Your Work (12/1), Panama City (16/1), Distinction (16/1), Harswell Duke (40/1), Apache Canyon (80/1)

Verdict

A tight-knit handicap in which marginal preference is for JACK DANIEL who signalled his turn is near again when a very good C&D second last time out and races off just a 1 lb higher mark here. Hat-trick seeking Down To The Kid heads the list of dangers ahead of Harriet Bethell's new recruit Milteye and the handily-weighted Dawn of Liberation.
