Good second over 1m2f here two months ago but below that form in two subsequent outings. Useful apprentice booked to ride dropping in trip racing off a mark 1lb higher than for his most recent victory.
Decent effort in finishing fourth in a C&D handicap last time out. Dropped 2lb for that effort and market support would be notable having won four times over this C&D.
Built on a string of second place finishes when winning by a short-head in a 1m handicap at Kempton last time out. Raised 4lb for that victory and is one for the shortlist on this occasion.
Returning from a break when beaten a head in a handicap over this C&D last time out. Raised 1lb for that victory and strong claims having won twice on the AW here in the past.
Held in recent starts including in a 7f handicap at this venue last time out. Handicap mark is steadily falling and was a handicap winner off a 3lb higher mark on turf last summer.
Making his seasonal debut when finishing 7L second in a 7f handicap at Wolverhampton just under a month ago. Has run well over this distance in the past and he is one to note on this occasion.
Forecasts
Sha La La La Lee (5/2), Insurgence (5/2), Family Fortunes (11/4), Chevallier (13/2), Sea Fox (11/1), Mythical Madness (14/1)
INSURGENCE was narrowly beaten on his return to action here last time out and he is taken to go one better than when finishing runner-up that day. The selection remains unexposed over this distance and he can get the better of Sha La La La Lee who can take second ahead of Family Fortunes who was a winner here last time out.
