C&D winner in December and generally held form well since, left with too much to do over further here last week.

Consistent rather than progressive and was poorly placed over C&D 2 weeks ago. Mark has eased again and needs considering down in class.

Inconsistent performer who has posted just one decent effort for her current yard this winter. Drops in class back from a break.

Gained another win over C&D (last 5 wins have come here) in November and went close to following up there later that month. Disappointed at Southwell last time but shaped well here prior to that so worth another chance back at this venue.

Not the easiest of rides (can miss the break/race freely) but was a back-to-back winner at Wolverhampton in the autumn and has held form well since, going close there last 2 starts. Player.

Capitalised on drop in the weights when getting off the mark over C&D in January and wasted no time getting back to form when scoring over same C&D last week. Respected under a penalty.

Found run of good form coming to a halt at Wolverhampton when last seen in December. Type to bounce back but remains on a career-high mark.

Ended last season in top form, notching second win in C&D handicap final start, seen to good effect having built an early advantage. Hit with a 9 lb rise, however, and entitled to need this after 6 months off.

Forecasts

Dingwall (3/1), Golspie (3/1), Mao Shang Wong (7/2), Riyadh Gem (5/1), Hashtagnotions (12/1), Prince Achille (14/1), Star Cast (16/1), Daring Leader (16/1), Toronto Raptor (22/1), Wath Court (40/1)

Verdict

PRINCE ACHILLE is worth another chance to confirm previous promise back at his favoured venue. Mao Shang Wong rates a serious threat down in class off a career-low mark, with the in-form Dingwall completing the shortlist.
