C&D winner who doubled career tally at Yarmouth in September. Form proved rather up and down in 3 starts thereafter but still unexposed on all-weather and he resumes from 5 months off with his yard amongst the winners.
|
Recaptured the winning habit on all-weather, adding to his tally at Lingfield (6f) in February. 9-day turnaround may have caught him out at Wolverhampton last time but he's got the widest draw here.
|
Picked up the progressive thread on all-weather this winter, registering a fourth success at Kempton (6f) 3 weeks ago. Won readily from the front on his only other run here and definite claims again in refitted cheekpieces after a 2 lb rise.
|
Posted a career best when off the mark over this trip at Southwell (6/4) in December. Too free when fifth back there a month later but previous form worked out well and he's worth another chance to confirm revised mark is workable now starting out for another new yard.
|
Consistent sort who showed a good attitude when resuming winning ways in 5-runner C&D handicap 3 weeks ago, edging ahead close home. Respected from 3 lb higher mark.
|
Thrived in recent months, bringing up hat-trick of 6f handicaps at Kempton in February. Better than he could show (finished with running left) when fifth in handicap back there 3 weeks ago and he remains on a handy mark judged on pick of last year's exploits.
|
Lightly-raced 5-y-o who continues to go from strength to strength, making it 7 wins from last 9 starts at Kempton (6f) 4 weeks ago, showing a good attitude in the process. Handicapper applies a little more pressure but he looks sure to give another good account.
|
Gained reward for string of consistent efforts when narrowly ending losing run at Newcastle (6f) in January. Excuses on penultimate start and quickly back to form when second at Newcastle earlier this month. Well drawn to go forward in stall 2.
|
Seen just twice since scoring at Ripon (6f) last June and he was far from disgraced returning from 9 months off when fourth at Newcastle (7f) 3 weeks ago. Entitled to come on for that (has headgear back on now) and he remains low mileage on all-weather.

Forecasts
Combustion (11/4), Gold Star Hero (9/2), Hunky Dory (5/1), Supreme King (6/1), Ziggy's Condor (9/1), Lazzar (9/1), Hectic (10/1), Tyger Bay (10/1), Hierarchy (28/1)
No shortage of in-form sorts with COMBUSTION shading preference. He continued on his upward curve when making it a remarkable 7 wins from his last 9 starts at Kempton 4 weeks ago. A further 3 lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid in a race expected to be run to suit. Lazzar, Hunky Dory and Supreme King are others expected to be firmly in the mix.
- Combustion11/4
- Lazzar9/1
- Hunky Dory5/1
