7/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in March. 14/1, last of 5 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) 89 days ago. Return to this surface in his favour and this represents a slight drop in class.

40/1

First run since leaving Geoff Oldroyd when last of 8 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm, 33/1) 41 days ago. Lots to prove at present but still worth a market check.

5/1

Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Chepstow (5.1f, good to soft, 5/1) 20 days ago. That was just his second handicap start so he may have more to offer.

25/1

8/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to soft) 49 days ago. Repeat of placed effort over C&D prior to that would bring her into this.

Forecasts

Cash In (5/2), Zoulu Warrior (5/1), Startling (11/2), Zuffolo (7/1), Ganesha (7/1), Masterclass (15/2), Ticktyboo (10/1), Desert Master (18/1), Invincible Annice (25/1), Project Black (40/1), Fumbleinthejungle (200/1)

Quite a few to consider with preference for DESERT MASTER, who got back on track in a classified contest over C&D last week and now has a handy mark to exploit. Zoulu Warrior made her second handicap start a winning one at Chepstow and he's a big threat, along with Ganesha.
