Runner-up twice at Kempton around the turn of the year and should find this easier than the Class 4 he contested at Wolverhampton 23 days ago. Cheekpieces are also refitted. Enters calculations.

Had quite a solid record on turf last summer but ran on poorly in 2 starts back from a break in January. Cheekpieces are refitted this time.

15/2
Completed a hat-trick when seeing off 6 rivals over slightly further here 4 weeks ago but didn't have much to spare so a further 3 lb nudge may be enough to bring his winning run to an end.

3/1
Won at Wolverhampton and runner-up at Lingfield (both 1½m) last month. Her hold-up tactics weren't seen to best effect when never involved at Kempton last time and it's likely she's still in form. Respected.

8/1
Modest maiden. Bounced back from a poor run at Southwell when third at Wolverhampton (2m) 16 days ago but he'll need to pull out more to land a first win here.

7/2
AW Flat winner in Ireland for Denis Hogan. Unable to make an impact over hurdles for Olly Murphy but fared better back on the Flat when third of 11 in 1½m Lingfield handicap last month. One to consider.

Looked suited by the step up to 2m when pulling 3¼ lengths clear at Newcastle 15 days ago. The return to a shorter trip is a slight worry but he's unexposed for a yard enjoying a good spell.

Forecasts

Take The Boat (3/1), Dynamite Defense (7/2), Fiddlers Green (4/1), Angelardo (11/2), Smokey Malone (15/2), King's Cruiser (8/1), Bohemian Breeze (14/1), El Ghaawy (20/1)

Verdict

There was a possible excuse for TAKE THE BOAT at Kempton last time and she can show she's still on a favourable mark. Dynamite Defense took a step back in the right direction when returned to the Flat 4 weeks ago and gets the nod for the forecast spot ahead of recent 2m Newcastle scorer Angelardo.
