Successful over C&D last June and stepped up on reappearance when sixth in a big field at Doncaster last month. One to consider from a handy mark.

Won a 1m Yarmouth handicap last spring but has struggled since, down the field at Lingfield on first outing since leaving Alan King. Might step forward from that.

Notched third win of last campaign when landing a big-field handicap over a mile at Doncaster last in September. Poor efforts to sign off, though, and might need his first run in 6 months.

11/2, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 26 days ago. Performing with consistency of late and handicapper has given him a chance since latest effort.

Three wins last season, including on penultimate outing at Newcastle, and final run at the same track is easily excused. Might need his return, however.

Signed off last season with an excusable effort and ran well on previous outing, so not a forlorn hope if tuned up after 6 months off.

Has looked back to his best lately, scoring twice in a short space of time at Nottingham. Merits respect as he bids for hat-trick.

First run since leaving David O'Meara when last of 12 in handicap (20/1) at Ripon (8f, soft) 10 days ago, lost all chance at start. Quite consistent last year and might return to form if he breaks on terms.

Hasn't won for a while but is becoming feasibly treated and wasn't seen to best effect at Pontefract last time. Not discounted.

Consistent performer who is reliant on a solid gallop and didn't get it at Newcastle last time, shaping as if still in form. Should play a part if the race is run to suit.

Well treated and returned with a positive showing at Southwell. Failed to back it up at Ripon but tongue strap is back on and it's too soon to write him off.

Hasn't shown much in 3 runs to date (left David O'Meara and off 8 months prior to latest effort). Faces a more realistic task in low-grade handicap for the first time.

Resumed winning ways at Southwell (1m) in December and didn't do much wrong when runner-up over the same C&D next time. However, form took a turn for the worse since, and he has a poor strike rate on turf.

Clear Angel (15/8), Nine Elms (7/1), Perfect Swiss (15/2), Yellow Bear (9/1), End Zone (10/1), Engles Rock (11/1), Forward Flight (12/1), Zumurud (12/1), Menelaus (12/1), Ciotog (12/1), Absolute Dream (20/1), Mac Ailey (22/1), Mr Trevor (22/1), Frog And Toad (28/1), Darker (33/1), Ahamoment (40/1)

15:35 Wetherby - 30 April 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

CLEAR ANGEL won here last season and his latest sixth in a competitive race at Doncaster looks like a solid piece of form, so he could be the answer to this wide-open contest. The hat-trick seeking Nine Elms is an obvious danger and End Zone warrants a mention.
