Age: 5|  Weight: 9-9| J: Darragh Keenan| T: J Candlish| OR:  65| CD
Won handicaps with something to spare over C&D and Wolverhampton in January and decent efforts in defeat last 2 starts, beaten only by a rejuvenated rival at Lingfield on Saturday.

Off the mark in a 7-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (8/1) 16 days ago when given a more positive ride than usual off a career-low mark. Not an obvious type to follow up.

Age: 7|  Weight: 9-6| J: Joey Haynes| T: I Furtado| OR:  62| BF| CD
Has done well for this yard, winning classified stakes over C&D and Newcastle in January. Disappointed back in a handicap at latter track (5/2F) latest but that was his sixth run of the month.

Yet to win from 11 starts but would have gone close granted a clear run when third of 8 at Newcastle (11/2) 8 days ago. Able to race off 1 lb lower here so big shout.

Won at Kempton (22/1) on final start for Hughie Morrison in November but appeared unsuited by the drop to sprinting starting out for this yard at Lingfield (33/1) 39 days ago. Back up to 1m today with hood removed.

Opened account at Newcastle in November but just respectable efforts in defeat since, fifth of 9 over 7f there (9/1) in January on final start for Richard Fahey.

Stopped the rot with a couple of seconds here before going one better over C&D (7/4F) 27 days ago to end a lengthy losing run. Should remain competitive up 3 lbs.

Back-to-back winner over C&D in October. Mixed record since, though probably went off too hard here 3 weeks ago.

Age: 4|  Weight: 8-12| J: Edward Greatrex| T: Ian Williams| OR:  54| D
Unreliable type but was gambled on when fourth over 11f here in January on final run for Thomas Faulkner. Potentially on a good mark but needs to show more.

Forecasts

Samra Star (7/2), How's The Guvnor (4/1), Asian Journey (5/1), Shielas Well (6/1), Roaring Ralph (6/1), Relevant Range (13/2), Minshaar (8/1), Magdalayna (25/1), Heretic (25/1)

Verdict

ASIAN JOURNEY is still seeking his first success but has been eased to a mark he's capable of winning from having looked unlucky at Newcastle last week. Roaring Ralph ended a lengthy losing run with a comfortable success over C&D 4 weeks ago so is next best ahead of Relevant Range, who should bounce back after a short break.
