In fine form this winter, winning no fewer than seven times including a C&D success. Below form a little in handicaps on last two runs but he could be very hard to beat back down in this grade.
Brings the second highest official rating in to this but he's been badly out of form lately, including his most recent starts on AW at Kempton. A drop in to this class may see him do better but needs to improve to be involved for win purposes.
C&D winner in claiming company at the start of last month. Not always the quickest away in his races, as seen last time at Kempton but he's dangerous to dismiss off this sort of mark if it all clicks into place.
Well beaten on all three of his starts and connections seemingly don't think he's well-handicapped having dropped him in to this company on just his fourth run. Must improve.

Forecasts
Captain Lars (10/11), Mishaal (9/4), Mamillius (7/2), Dutiful Son (9/2), Jackie Sparrow (8/1), Locommotion (16/1), Twickenham (25/1), Kaboobee (50/1)
CAPTAIN LARS has enjoyed a fine winter and connections seem to have found another winnable claimer to increase his recent record to eight wins. Mamillius is a player if he can bounce back but the main danger might be Locommotion who turns up in better form than the majority of his rivals.
