7/2
Placed over C&D last time out in a potentially useful horse in Dubai One. Also won over this trip when at Dundalk when trained in Ireland and should find mark and draw both workable.

7/1
Has won much better handicaps than this in the past as well as over C&D. Second at Chelmsford last time was encouraging and this looks easier, so he could be one to side with.

Just ahead of Reckless Endeavour over C&D last time out but is only up 1lb for that effort. That was his best effort for a while and he holds claims if building on it.

All three wins have come on turf, but is fairly lightly-raced on the AW. Still needs to leave his last effort (over 6f at Wolverhampton) a long way behind to have a say here.

Ended last year in fine form, winning a 6f handicap at Chelmsford having run well in a races at Kempton. 5lb higher now but should be able to handle this mark and can go very well.

Recently stepped back up to this trip at Newcastle when winning a slightly weaker handicap than this. Up 5lb won't make this easy and he has to defy a break.

Has mostly been regressing since winning a nice handicap at York in September 2015, and is best watched on his first start for a new yard.

Behind a couple of these over C&D towards the end of December. Dropped 5lb but still yet to prove he is up to performing at this level.

Fair strike-rate overall, but all of his more recent wins have come in weaker events than this, and he's liable to be outclassed against some more in-form rivals.

Forecasts

Human Nature (7/4), Reckless Endeavour (7/2), Kasbah (9/2), Boom The Groom (7/1), George Dryden (10/1), Leo Minor (14/1), Ascot Day (16/1), Reflektor (25/1), Upavon (33/1)

It may be worth siding with grand campaigner BOOM THE GROOM. A winner on multiple occasions at a much higher level than this, he ran well at Chelmsford last time and on his best form would have plenty in hand with the rest of these. Recent C&D placer Reckless Endeavour may be next best, ahead of the fairly progressive Kasbah.
