Run best excused on first outing since leaving Shaun Lycett when pulled up in 1¾m handicap at this course in October, clipped heels soon after start and then eased off. Drop back in trip not sure to suit, however.

14/1
Back to form on just his second outing for current yard when third of 8 in 1¼m Lingfield handicap in February, nearest finish. Seemed not to stay the 2f longer trip back there since, so return to slightly shorter in his favour.

Ended long losing run against her own sex over C&D in March and far from disgraced both outings since. Should remain competitive.

9/1
C&D winner who shaped as if better for the run after 4 months off when fourth of 6 in handicap at this course (11f) 32 days ago. Likely to strip fitter and must enter the reckoning.

Has tumbled in the weights and confirmed he's right back on song when second of 12 in 1¼m handicap at Lingfield 15 days ago, despite missing the break. Remains of firm interest.

Forecasts

Pleasant Man (5/2), Bint Al Daar (4/1), Tortured Soul (9/2), Bystander (11/2), Everyoneknowsadave (9/1), Sword Of Wessex (9/1), Victors Spirit (12/1), Robbo (14/1), Optician (18/1)

Verdict

PLEASANT MAN confirmed he's right back on song when runner-up at Lingfield and looks ready to strike back up in trip. Tortured Soul seems likely to give another good account, with Everyoneknowsadave also of interest with a recent run behind him.
