Won at long odds last October on return from 13-month absence but suffered a heavy fall over hurdles subsequently and was below form when seventh of 13 in handicap at Kempton (20/1) 10 days ago. Plenty to prove.
|
Showed fair form in Flat handicaps last autumn but last 4 outings came over hurdles with little success. Returns to Flat after wind operation (reportedly made a noise last time) and wears first-time cheekpieces. Others preferred.
|
Yet to win from 7 starts. Seemed stretched by the trip when seventh of 11 in handicap at Kempton (10/1) 59 days ago but had shaped as if back in better heart prior to that and no shock if she makes a greater impact here.
|
Shaped much better than previously for this yard when second of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (11/8 fav) 12 days ago, lacking clear run on home turn. Gambled-on there and these sort of races have clearly been in mind, so gets the nod now sporting first-time cheekpieces.
|
Won at this course in December and has since run respectably when in frame all 3 starts since, most recently when third of 9 in handicap over 10f here (17/2) 16 days ago, dictating a steady tempo. Has proved his stamina for today's 12f trip and holds place claims again.
|
Has returned to the Flat with three consecutive thirds in handicaps on AW since mid-December, including over C&D (16/1) 21 days ago. Can make his presence felt.
|
Won twice in August but did far too much too soon bidding for hat-trick when sixth of 9 in handicap at Brighton (8/1) last time. Best watched on first start after 6 months off.
|
Lightly raced gelding, Seventh of 10 in novice at Kempton 26 days ago, having been flattered when third previously. More required on handicap debut.
|
Inconsistent type who belatedly opened his account in conditions event at Chelmsford City (3/1) 6 days ago for new yard, though he had the run of the race. Now has to back that up under penalty.

Forecasts
Kathleen Mary (2/1), Voix De Bocelli (4/1), Bownder (4/1), Shahbaz (5/1), Roland Garros (11/1), Man Is King (12/1), Sea Of Charm (25/1), Imperial Decision (25/1), Johnny Boom (25/1)
SHAHBAZ shaped much better when runner-up at Wolverhampton 12 days ago, keeping on well under pressure, and having been brought along with amateur races in mind, this looks ideal with cheekpieces back on. Voix de Bocelli has been consistent of late with three consecutive placed efforts in handicaps on the AW. The suspicion remains there's a bit more to come from Kathleen Mary and she can complete the placings.
