9/4
Held form well since winning over further here in November, behind a couple of subsequent winners when fourth over C&D latest. Needs considering.

This winter's all-weather efforts have been no more than respectable and similar story back on the turf at Bath on Sunday. Blinkers back on. On a good mark if showing more spark.

Ended last season in top form, winning 2 of last 3 starts. Struggled off revised mark at Newcastle on return 3 weeks ago but might have needed the run.

10/3
C&D winner who has made more of an impact off his reduced mark this year but not enough to make himself of significant interest, hanging right at Lingfield latest.

Confirmed herself at the top of her game with a third success of the year at Kempton last month. Not disgraced back on turf at Bath on Sunday and can go well again.

Not the easiest of rides but got off the mark at Ffos Las in September. Made little impression after 5 months off at Southwell 19 days ago but entitled to be sharper now.

Classified winner at Chelmsford last summer but poor efforts next 2 starts 4 months apart. Showed a bit more here last time but not enough to make her of interest back in a handicap.

Forecasts

Naughty Niall (9/4), Port Noir (3/1), Crafter (10/3), Ciotog (17/2), Daring Leader (10/1), Kaaress (16/1), Eager Puccini (18/1), Dors Delight (18/1), Dinah Myte (25/1)

Verdict

NAUGHTY NIALL's latest fourth over C&D is solid form for this level so gets the vote in this lesser race. In-form veteran Port Noir is the obvious threat, while Ciotog is on a good mark if showing a bit more.
