Sixteen runs since last win and hasn't looked the easiest of conveyance on last 2 starts on the all-weather. Rare turf run these days and this the lowest band of handicap he's contested.

4/1
Has just the one win to his name but fallen a long way in the weights and made more of an impact when good second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 60 days ago. Off since but a danger at this level if returning on his game.

Yet to win a race and expensive to follow for current connections, albeit he has shaped better than the bare result on a couple of occasions. Hood should help him settle on return and he may yet have a bigger performance in him.

Came from well off the pace to win 6f handicap at Wolverhampton in January. Mixed bag since and always behind back at 5f on a rare turf start 2 weeks ago.

C&D winner last summer and also successful on the all-weather in November. Held back by habitual slow starts of late, including both starts back with Tony Carroll. Visor/tongue strap back on.

Lightly-raced sort who landed 5f Chepstow maiden in August. Only ninth of 12 in handicap at Southwell 2 months later but shaped with a bit more promise on last month's return to action at Nottingham. This mark should be within range.

Nottingham winner on last season's reappearance but little to shout about after. Clearly capable fresh and has a basement mark to exploit, so she's of some interest in cheekpieces for the first time.

Losing run stretches 24 runs to autumn of 2024. Assessor has given him every chance and he stuck to it well when runner-up at Catterick 11 days ago.

Sole success came at Lingfield a year ago for Richard Hannon and doesn't make much appeal out of classified company these days.

Forecasts

Mister Sandman (7/2), Neptune Legend (4/1), Sioux Warrior (4/1), Newyorkstateofmind (5/1), He's An Angel (8/1), Rinky Tinky Tinky (9/1), Phoenix Beach (10/1), Up The Anti (12/1), Scent Of May (14/1), She Went Whoosh (25/1), Titus Thor (33/1), Coco Hill (33/1), Tilsworth Ony Ta (66/1), Bluesy Moon (66/1)

Verdict

A hood might help MISTER SANDMAN settle and if that does prove to be the case, he has it in him to win from this sort of mark. Low-mileage 4-y-o Scent of May is a big threat, with Sioux Warrior also of some interest.
