Verdict
A host in with chances but the suggestion is STRATOCRACY, who shaped encouragingly after 5 months off when third at Redcar earlier in the month and Kevin Frost's 4-y-o should have another win or 2 in him this time around. His main danger may emerge from Paris Lights, who ran a cracker back on turf last time, with Power of Gold taken to edge out Cosmos Raj for minor honours.

VerdictLatest win at Wolverhampton in January. 14/1, wasted no time getting back to form with his usual headgear discarded when fourth of 16 in handicap at Chelmsford (8f) 9 days ago. This a rare turf outing so percentage call is to look elsewhere.

Verdict8/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good) when last seen 6 months ago. Won on reappearance last year so this could be the time to catch him (has been gelded), but it's worth noting he's still yet to finish better than mid-division in handicaps.- Unnamed Favourite
