Palace Pier gelding. Half-brother to useful 6f-1m winner Meshakel. Hasn't progressed from debut but gelding operation/cheekpieces may help having looked a hard ride on qualifying run at Chelmsford last time.

Only 1 lb higher than when successful over C&D in December and she was unlucky not to finish closer when sixth of 12 at Newcastle last time, finishing with running left having been denied a clear run. Remains one to be interested in.

Went the wrong way from his debut last summer and hasn't been done any favours by the handicapper ahead of this return from 6 months off.

Much improved on reappearance/handicap debut when third of 12 at Newcastle, despite never really settling, and high hopes he can build on that.

Placed in higher grade for Ms Claire O'Connell and was well backed returning from 4 months off when sixth of 10 on stable debut at Wolverhampton, racing freely. Could be capable of better with a run under her belt.

7/2
Proved a different proposition under positive ride in first-time cheekpieces when winning with something in hand at Newcastle 7 days ago. Should be able to get a prominent pitch despite a wide draw, and he looks capable of defying a 6-lb penalty.

Best effort when fourth of 6 on qualifying run at Chelmsford (200/1), though that was still only poor form, and he'll need to improve to be more competitive on handicap debut.

Maiden who was third in this grade here (6f) on New Year's Day but didn't have an ideal track position at Newcastle latest, finishing seventh of 9 on first start for 9 weeks.

Steps up markedly in trip having run as well as could be expected when fifth of 7 in 5f maiden (125/1) at this course (5f). Her handicap form prior to that was hardly inspiring, though.

Ran too badly to be true at Newcastle latest, but she'd only looked barely modest prior to that.

4/1
Maiden who has been running creditably in all-weather handicaps over longer trips (fourth of 7 at Lingfield last time) and with just an even pace forecast, he can remain competitive under a more positive ride back down in trip.

Again below form when eighth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton in January and doesn't look obviously well treated even if bouncing back.

Forecasts

Fickle Mcselfish (7/2), Akrivos (4/1), Maximum Velocity (5/1), Popty Ping (6/1), Quick Quasar (13/2), Mereside Princess (9/1), Saxon Grace (9/1), Kwidsin (11/1), Tickettothestars (33/1), Sirhana (33/1), Forceful Lady (50/1), Serragasso (80/1)

Verdict

FICKLE MCSELFISH still looks well treated under a penalty and can follow up his Newcastle success. Popty Ping stands out as the main danger following a luckless run last time. Maximum Velocity, who finished third in the same race, is another to consider.

  1. Fickle Mcselfish7/2
  2. Popty Ping6/1
  3. Maximum Velocity5/1
