22/1

Last won from this mark at Chester in September but has struggled at that track since returning from a 7-month break in May. Needs the return of cheekpieces to spark a revival.

5/2

Made up into a fairly useful sort last year but yet to fire either start since returning from 6 months off and first-time cheekpieces are now reached for.

Form: 5236-84

Fenlander¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Christian Howarth⁽³⁾| T: Mrs P Sly| OR: 72| D

8/11

Took 17 runs to get off the mark but has won his last 2 6f handicaps at Leicester, including in dominant fashion to beat 8 rivals by 3¾ lengths last time. 9 lb higher mark to contend with in pursuit of the hat-trick but likely to prove hard to peg back in current heart.

Form: 3-23611

Return Of The Gods⁷⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P J Dobbs| T: E Bethell| OR: 75| D

13/2

Won maiden at Wolverhampton in October but last in first-time tongue strap on handicap debut at Kempton returning from 6 months off in April. Strap removed now and he could bounce back making turf debut after further 78 days off.

Form: 31-8

Master Of Entropy¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: P Cosgrave| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 74

20/1

Lightly-raced gelding who showed ability in qualifying for a mark but was too free when sixth of 7 on handicap debut over 7.6f at Chester 13 days ago. Difficult to assess down in trip.

Forecasts

Fenlander (8/11), Cuban Lady (5/2), Space Bear (3/1), Emperor Caradoc (4/1), Return Of The Gods (13/2), Master Of Entropy (20/1), Paws For Thought (22/1)

FENLANDER is in the form of his life so may be able to dominate matters once more despite a hike in the weights, the rest all having questions marks over them in one way or another. Return Of The Gods could be very dangerous if bouncing back from a tame reappearance, though.
