Fair form in 7f novices, not seen to best effect when third of 5 at Kempton 39 days ago. Can do better now going into handicaps.

6/1
Making only second start for Ivan Furtado (had a breathing operation) when landing 8.5f handicap at Wolverhampton in February that worked out well. Left poorly placed from a wide draw when sixth there last time so he's well worth another chance off the same mark.

17/2
A 4-time course winner. Posted a creditable fourth of 12 in handicap over C&D 26 days ago but unreliable and no banker to back that up.

Resumed winning ways at Lingfield in February and not discredited when fourth of 8 in 1m handicap at Newcastle 40 days ago. This C&D winner is in the mix again.

Won 1m maiden at Lingfield in August for Simon & Ed Crisford. Yet to fire in a pair of handicaps over C&D and at Newcastle for his current yard.

Remains winless and he came in last of 7 in 7f handicap here 107 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Forecasts

Marry The Night (3/1), Dream Illusion (3/1), Holly Mist (16/5), American State (6/1), Soames Forsyte (17/2), Union Island (17/2), Looks Fantastic (20/1), Hachiman (40/1)

Verdict

AMERICAN STATE didn't enjoy the rub of the green when sixth at Wolverhampton last time and can bounce back in style at the chief expense of course specialist Marry The Night. Fellow C&D scorer Union Island and handicap debutante Holly Mist also need factoring in.

  1. American State6/1
  2. Marry The Night3/1
  3. Union Island17/2
