William Hill Best Odds Guaranteed Handicap

Won 1 of his 11 starts in Ireland last year. Makes debut for new yard, back from 5 months off, and market should prove best guide to claims.

Off the mark at Newcastle (7f) in December and similar form in defeat on next 3 starts. Needs to bounce back from a poor effort at Southwell last time, however.

Gained a deserved breakthrough success in 7f maiden at Epsom last July for Eve Johnson Houghton. Last of 6 in conditions stakes at Kempton (1m) on her reappearance/yard debut, though and looks on a stiff mark for handicap bow.

Dual winner last term who found improvement, back from 7 months off, when very good second of 13 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good) 25 days ago. Just 1 lb higher now and holds strong claims.

Backed up encouraging debut effort when winning 12-runner novice at this venue (7f, AW, 4/6) in December. Should be more to come on return/handicap debut. Blinkers on first time.

Fair form in his 5 outings over 6f/7f last year and posted good fourth of 9 in novice on return at Wolverhampton (7f) 22 days ago, not ideally placed. Warrants respect.

Made winning nursery debut at Newbury last summer and back on the up when narrowly defeated on return at Kempton in March. Failed to repeat that effort at Southwell since but he remains fairly treated.

Opened account at Nottingham in October and stepped up on return effort when good third of 6 in handicap over longer trip at Epsom 11 days ago. 1 lb lower now and is one for the shortlist.
