Didn't offer much in 4 quick runs last summer, but after 8 months off he proved a different proposition sent handicapping when winning 12-runner event at Lingfield 9 days ago. Scored with plenty in hand and he's the one to beat under a penalty.

Has improved in handicaps this year, in first-time cheekpieces when doubling his tally at Wolverhampton in February. Run of good form halted on turf debut at Nottingham 15 days ago, though had a wide trip so could bounce back with blinkers applied.

Off the mark at Wolverhampton in March and confirmed that improvement when second of 5 at the same course 19 days ago, again seen to good effect from the front. Looks the likely pace angle in this race as well.

Modest form in his 3 qualifying runs, but just 12 days on from his reappearance he failed to improve on handicap debut when fourth of 5 at Wolverhampton (7f) 2 weeks ago. Stamina on dam's side of pedigree as he moves up in trip.

Down the field in 3 maidens in quick succession, well held at Wolverhampton (7f) on latest outing 19 days ago. However, the market could be informative as she goes handicapping with return to 1m promising to suit.

Little impact in a trio of novices at this course, merely closing up late when finishing sixth in 10-runner event 18 days ago. Has work to do on his handicap bow.

Forecasts

Raspoutine (4/7), Lexington Express (9/2), Aneirin's Sword (9/2), Clear Above (10/1), Cobalt Comet (66/1), Action Reaction (66/1)

Verdict

RASPOUTINE left his previous form behind with a comfortable success on handicap debut at Lingfield 9 days ago and he looks to hold leading claims under a penalty. Aneirin's Sword could be the biggest threat quickly returned to all-weather, ahead of Lexington Express.
