Not scored since 2024 and disappointed at Naas (6f) 10 days ago. May do better back over longer trip here but others appeal more.

Four-time C&D winner. Disappointed here latest but posted good second over shorter trip previously and would be a player on that form.

Took a step back in right direction when third of 9 in handicap at this course (10.7f, 14/1) 5 days ago. However, return to shorter trip not guaranteed to suit. Cheekpieces back on.

Just 1 from 23 Flat runs but has been in good heart this year, latest when respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at this course (7f) 12 days ago, never nearer. Likely to be in the mix again.

Returned to form when creditable third of 9 in handicap at this course 5 days ago. Races off same mark and can make his presence felt. Cheekpieces back on.

Six-time C&D winner but was again below form when well held over shorter trip last month. Others more persuasive.

Belatedly off the mark over C&D in January and run with credit in both starts since, latest when fourth of 14 in handicap at this course (7f, 14/1) 12 days ago. Likely contender.

Yet to trouble the judge after 8 starts and application of cheekpieces had little effect here last week.

C&D winner who acquitted himself well in a couple of starts here in January. Ought to appreciate return to shorter trip and merits consideration.

Forecasts

Kitty Bear (18/5), Master Garvey (4/1), Alex Belardo (4/1), Comfort Line (9/2), Punk Poet (9/1), Star Mind (10/1), Mehmar (11/1), Alto Sax (12/1), Palazzo Persico (14/1), Deep Vein (50/1), Hi George (150/1)

Verdict

MASTER GARVEY was too keen when fifth over a longer trip here last time and gets the nod in a race which may not take a great deal of winning. Kitty Bear and Alex Belardo rate the principal dangers.
