8/1
Confirmed himself better than ever when registering a clear-cut success in 9-runner handicap at Pontefract (10f) in April. However, found it tougher going under a 5-lb penalty in a stronger race and without the same advantages at Epsom only 8 days later.

4/1
Latest win at Kempton in November and produced a career best to go very close back down in trip and grade when third here (10f, AW) in January, doing well under the circumstances. Never involved in a hot handicap at Newcastle 3 months later but worth another chance on this return to turf.

11/4
10f maiden winner for Aidan O'Brien who probably needed the run after 9 months off when sixth of 7 in handicap at Newbury (16.5f, good, 6/1) on stable debut 29 days ago. Back down in trip.

6/5
Back on the up when resuming winning ways in good style in 7-runner handicap at Brighton (11.9f, good, 13/8) 28 days ago, well ridden returned to front running. 7 lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid, especially with the likelihood of another easy lead.

18/1
Latest win at Wolverhampton in February and shaped as if back in form when ninth of 16 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 22 days ago, left with lot to do. This a first turf start since July last year.

Forecasts

Candyman Stan (6/5), Vice President (11/4), Power Of Destiny (4/1), King's Code (8/1), Charlie's Choice (18/1)

Verdict

CANDYMAN STAN resumed winning ways in good style at Brighton 4 weeks ago and, with another easy lead potentially on the cards, he promises to follow up. Power of Destiny was never involved back from 3 months off in a hot race at Newcastle recently but is worth another chance on her return to turf based on the promise of her penultimate run.
