Looked rusty when opening his account over C&D (winning by neck from Battle Borne) on return, though turf form from last year offers hope of better now handicapping.

Ran creditably when fourth of 10 in C&D conditions race in December and is likely to have benefitted from a break.

Has a fine course record but was taken on for the lead when 3¾ lengths sixth behind Neo Smart over C&D last time. Doesn't look much pace on this time, though.

Three-time C&D winner placed in better company than this over the winter and shaped as if still in good form when fourth over 7f here last time. Looks to have plenty in his favour.

Showed a good attitude to land 13-runner C&D handicap latest and ought to still be competitive, despite a 5 lb rise.

Looked rusty on stable debut when behind Neo Smart over C&D and while not fully exposed on this surface, it's hard to be confident.

Enhanced fine strike rate for current connections with career-best success over 7f here last time but 5 lb rise may prevent a follow-up.

Finished 6 lengths eleventh of 14 to Una Matata in handicap at this course (7f) latest and may again prove vulnerable in similar company.

Maiden chased home a couple of next-time-out winners when fourth of 9 over C&D in November and could be in the mix if ready to roll.

Has been given a break following a lesser effort when tenth of 14 in 1¼m handicap here in December and drop back in trip may suit, given all his wins have come over 7f/1m.

Forecasts

Daler (9/4), Ohailbhic (10/3), Ocean Manifest (11/2), Neo Smart (15/2), Ben Lawers (9/1), Howyoulikethat (11/1), Merlin The Wizard (12/1), Una Matata (16/1), Hugo's Girl (28/1), Battle Borne (40/1), Selective Power (50/1)

Verdict

HOWYOULIKETHAT will appreciate the return to 1m and can land a fourth C&D success. Hugo's Girl most recent form has worked out well, while Ocean Manifest should have less competition for the lead this time.
