Ladies Day 9th May Handicap (Div 2)

Raced closer to the pace than ideal when sixth of 15 at Leicester in October, and having fallen a long way in the weights, he makes appeal down in grade for in-form yard.

Strong in betting when third of 13 at Redcar (1½m) in late-October, and though the drop back in trip doesn't look the obvious move, he's less exposed than his rivals.

More miss than hit following a career-best third at Leicester in the autumn, though likely to be in the mix if bouncing back to that sort of form on return (hood refitted).

Backed up his classified stakes win with a creditable third at Lingfield last time, and he cannot be totally discounted on first turf start for current yard. Engaged 5.35 Wolverhampton Friday.

Veteran whose form tailed off following a double last September, though following a rusty seasonal reappearance at Bath, he's quickly back on his last successful mark.

Has been running creditably on the all-weather at Wolverhampton, without shaping like a winner in waiting, and now switches to turf for the first time since joining current connections.

Inconsistent performer who shaped better second time up over hurdles at Catterick latest, and he may make an impact if on a going day returned to the Flat.

Underlined her inconsistency when trailing the field in a Southwell handicap last September, though does at least look the type who may benefit from first-time cheekpieces.

Sole victory came in a similar race with cheekpieces on at Brighton last summer, and while not in the same form when fourth in a classified stakes on stable debut/return at Southwell last time, he may do better back on turf with headgear refitted.

Ran better than on previous start, especially given his wide trip, when fourth behind Desiderata in classified company at Wolverhampton. However, he's hardly one for maximum faith.
