East India^h²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: H Crouch⁽³⁾| T: George Baker| OR: 74

2/1

Beat Portage on juvenile debut for Aidan O'Brien but has failed to progress since. Fit from a sharpener over hurdles and worth a check in the market for a race that will take little winning.

Glens Wobbly⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: Jordan Uys⁽⁷⁾| T: J A Geake| OR: 73

10/3

Has a track record of five wins and four seconds in 19 starts. Stole a race at Chepstow last term when romping home by 15L. Went up to a career high mark subsequently but not disgraced on return last Friday. Best form has been shown over further.

Form: 18204-4

Pack It In¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: J Fortune| T: B J Meehan| OR: 72

5/2

C&D winner who landed a three runner contest at Lingfield last summer. Too keen when heavily supported on return but earns respect representing a yard who are 15-41 here for an impressive 79 points level stakes profit.

Attain⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 8-10| J: Edward Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: A Watson| OR: 63

3/1

Winner over this trip on turf at Sandown last season from a 7lb lower mark. Has scored on the AW since and has been kept busy this winter. This will be his 11th race of 2017 and his consistency is not enabling the handicapper to show him the leniency required to make a difference.

Glens Wobbly will ensure a good pace in this on a track that favours his style of running. The trip may be on the short side and he may set the race up for PACK IT IN who was too keen in a slowly run race on his reappearance. Brian Meehan has an excellent record here and his horses have been going well. PACK IT IN has C&D form on softer ground but showed he handled quicker conditions at Sandown last season. East India has shown enough to suggest he could be competitive but Attain appeals as being more straightforward and looks set to go close again.
