5/1
Ended a long losing run at Wolverhampton (5f) in January and in good nick since, not enjoying a clear passage when sixth of 10 over C&D 6 days ago. Can go well again off the same mark.

Right back on track for her current yard when third of 9 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 33 days ago. Firmly in the picture off an unchanged mark.

Resumed winning ways at Wolverhampton (5f) in December but not at that level in two runs there since, just fifth of 7 on latter occasion 14 days ago. This C&D scorer needs to bounce back.

Course winner who posted his best effort of late when a running-on third of 10 in handicap over C&D 6 days ago. Must enter calculations.

Gained a third C&D win in December but he beat only two in handicap back at this C&D 6 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

C&D winner in December, 2024 but yet to hit top form in a trio of runs after 9 months off, fifth of 11 to Digital over C&D 17 days ago. Needs to take a step forward.

It's now 16 starts since his last win in 2023 and he came in last of 9 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 40 days ago. Others appeal more.

C&D winner who comes here in good form, having his second run in 24 hours when fourth of 10 in handicap over C&D 6 days ago. Weighted to go close.

In fine form this winter and bagged a second C&D victory in 11-runner handicap 17 days ago, fending off Our Absent Friends by ½ length. Up 3 lb but not taken lightly in his current mood.

It's now 22 runs since his last win in 2024 and he came in a below-par seventh of 9 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 17 days ago. More is required from this C&D scorer in a refitted hood.

6/1
A fair 5f scorer for Archie Watson who is shaping up well for his current handler, suffering a none-too-clear run 1f out when a close third of 7 in 5f handicap at Wolverhampton 10 days ago. Big shout eased 1 lb.

Forecasts

Lion's House (7/2), Emperor's Son (5/1), Water Of Leith (11/2), Digital (11/2), Amerjeet (6/1), Our Absent Friends (8/1), D Flawless (9/1), Darlo Pride (18/1), Blue Force (22/1), Catch Cunningham (28/1), The Fixer (33/1)

Verdict

Plenty are in with a shout but it could be worth siding with AMERJEET who has made a promising start to life with Michael Herrington and didn't enjoy the best of runs when a close third at Wolverhampton last time. Water Of Leith is weighted to have a big say and next on the list, although the likes of Digital, D Flawless, Emperor's Son and Lion's House all need considering too.
