Clearly isn't the easiest to train but showed plenty to work on after 9 months off when fifth of 17 in 1m handicap at Newbury (good) 14 days ago, left with lot to do. Back up in trip and needs considering.
C&D winner who won twice at Chelmsford during the winter. Ran poorly after 7 weeks off at Newcastle 15 days ago, so bounce back needed now returning to turf.
Showed improved form on first outing since leaving Owen Burrows (sold 110,000 gns) when landing a 20-runner handicap at Newbury (10f, good) 14 days ago, keeping on well. Looked a totally reformed character on that occasion, so a 7 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up.
Course winner. Three wins from 10 runs last year and shaped as if better for the run after 6 months off when sixth of 20 to Moktasaab in handicap at Newbury (10f, good) 14 days ago.
Shaped better than the distance beaten suggests after 7 months off when well held in 20-runner handicap won by Moktasaab at Newbury (10f, good) 14 days ago, heavily eased off after reportedly losing action. Worth another chance.

Forecasts
Moktasaab (1/1), Caradoc (2/1), Sweet Reward (6/1), Roscioli (14/1), You're Hired (20/1), Nao Da Mais (50/1)
MOKTASAAB has looked ungenuine in the past but he did nothing wrong when scoring on his return for a new yard at Newbury a fortnight ago and a 7lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up. Caradoc and Roscioli look most interesting of the opposition.
