Didn't improve right away for the switch to a handicap/longer trip when third of 7 at Fontwell last time, and though lightly raced, her record is one of consistency more than progression thus far.

Yet to fire for new stable and hopes are pinned on the return of a visor (fitted for 3 of his 4 victories for previous yard).

Easy to back when fifth of 6 on handicap debut at Market Rasen last time and probably needs a bit more respite from the handicapper.

Ran his best race for a step up in trip when third of 16 in a competitive handicap at Taunton (3m) last December, and while back down in distance here, he needs considering with stable going well.

15/8
Lightly-raced 4-y-o made more impact than previously when well-backed runner-up on handicap debut at Ffos Las (2m). Needs to brush up on his jumping but this longer trip will help, and he's fancied to go one better.

Long-standing maiden chased home a low-mileage sort over C&D before bumping into another progressive one at Stratford last time, and he's likely to give another good account here.

Inconsistent sort finished well held from out of the handicap here in February and likely to be a similar story this time.

Struggling for form this season, faring no better for the switch to fences at Lingfield in early-February.

Forecasts

Maestro Du Mesnil (15/8), Brave Move (3/1), Churchman (4/1), Iamyouare (5/1), Geordies Betty (17/2), Shesupincourt (22/1), Chosen Bae (40/1), Tara Iti (40/1)

Verdict

Strong in the market when runner-up on handicap bow, MAESTRO DU MESNIL can prove that confidence wasn't misplaced. Churchman is knocking on the door but may again give second best to a less-exposed rival. Brave Move returns off a career-best effort and completes the shortlist.
