All three career wins have come over C&D, most recently in January and remained in reasonable form until shaping as though amiss here 20 days ago. Worth another chance.

Winner over C&D last month and ran to a similar level when fourth of 6 at Southwell (7/2) over 5f under a penalty 23 days ago. Should remain competitive back up in trip.

9/2
Solid form for grade when winning at Wolverhampton (6f) in January (the race not working out as well when fifth there last time) and could make more impact here, for all he's partnered by a relatively inexperienced apprentice.

18/1
Too keen latest start at Redcar in August but went close behind a subsequent winner at Southwell prior to that and would be interesting if returning from 195 days off in that sort of form.

Justified support dropped into classified company over C&D last month and though not disgraced in a similar event at Lingfield 6 days ago, he has more on his plate back in a handicap.

Hasn't tasted success in 36 starts since but returned to form from out of the blue when narrow second in C&D classified stakes 15 days ago. Tougher task to repeat that in a handicap.

Newcastle regular who's on a losing run and looks opposable returned to handicap company.

Forecasts

Sedgemoor (5/2), Teardrops (7/2), He's An Angel (9/2), Bonito Cavalo (9/2), Howzak (10/1), Yaahobby (11/1), Bernie The Bear (14/1), Golden Prosperity (18/1)

Verdict

TEARDROPS looks worth another chance given his overall record at this track. Returning Golden Prosperity has good claims if recapturing his latest all-weather form, while He's An Angel can feature prominently.
