Consistent on the whole last winter when trained by Jim & Suzi Best and then James Owen. Returned lame when last seen 7 months ago and is probably best watched after another yard switch.

Age: 6|  Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: James Owen| OR:  58
Gained reward for consistency when winning at Chelmsford in February. Failed to really settle under an inexperienced amateur last time and should be closer to form here going back up in trip.

Improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap (18/1) at this C&D 22 days ago, getting first run. Visor reapplied now and overall profile suggests he's not certain to back that up.

Easter Sundaep49
Age: 7|  Weight: 8-9| J: Joanna Mason| T: J S Wainwright| OR:  45
Remains winless but ran well at huge odds when second at Newcastle in February, first-time headgear presumably the catalyst. Needs to back that up.

Forecasts

Lednikov (9/4), Yakhabar (9/2), Jack Andrea (11/2), Sycamore Gap (8/1), Backer Bilk (10/1), Silkies Sib (10/1), Arth's Gold (12/1), Heartened (12/1), Easter Sundae (14/1), Late Claim (20/1)

Verdict

JACK ANDREA arrives in top form and is fancied to make it 3 wins from his last 4 outings. Lednikov took advantage of a falling mark over 1¾m here last time and is respected again despite a hefty rise for that wide-margin win. Late Claim is also considered back down in class.
