15/8

Didn't cut much ice last year but has dropped down the weights as a result. Fitness seemed to tell late on when third of 13 in a handicap at Pontefract 18 days ago on return from 7 months off and he should be much sharper now.

Form: 60700-3

Dyonisos¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: L Morris| T: Ian Williams| OR: 85| D

9/2

Recorded 3 wins around 6f in France last year and looks to be finding his feet for current yard. Built on his third at Meydan in February when second of 8 in a handicap at Newmarket 11 days ago and may do better still if settling better here.

Form: 006-832

Tiva¹⁹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Mark Winn| T: D O'Meara| OR: 84| CD

13/2

Won back-to-back handicaps last August including over C&D, but out of depth in listed races on final 2 outings. Makes seasonal return in more realistic company and with her stable amongst the winners so looks one to strongly consider.

20/1

Bounced back to win a 5f handicap at Southwell on all-weather 8 days ago. Faced with 6 lb higher mark here but is equally capable on turf and holds place claims.

Form: 53-2281

Age: 8| Weight: 8-10| J: Myla Coppins⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 78| D

5/1

Useful sprinter at best but well below form for James Evans last year. Has slipped to a handy mark as a result, though, and his new yard do well with similar types so he isn't without hope on seasonal bow, given he's gone well fresh in the past.

8/1

Second over C&D in September before recording third win of the season at Redcar in October. Excuses when down field when last seen (poorly drawn) but this veteran may strip fitter for this first start for 6 months.

Equity Law^p¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 76| D

12/1

Won at Catterick in September and shaped well when sixth of 17 in a handicap at Musselburgh on return from 6 months off 13 days ago, travelling smoothly before lack of a recent outing told. Should strip fitter for the outing but this is a step up in grade.

Form: 14188-6

Vince L'Amour^b,t¹³

17/2

Stepped up markedly on reappearance effort when finishing 2nd of 17 at Musselburgh 13 days ago. Consistency isn't his strong point, though, and this looks tougher.

Form: 9186-82

Forecasts

Seven Questions (15/8), Dyonisos (9/2), Dream Composer (5/1), Tiva (13/2), Copper Knight (8/1), Vince L'Amour (17/2), Equity Law (12/1), Castan (20/1)

TIVA scored in back-to-back handicaps last August including over C&D and returns with her stable in good form so looks the one to beat. Seven Questions has dropped down the weights and should be sharper following his encouraging third at Pontefract 18 days ago and Dyonisos should have a say, too.
