CLOCH NUA justified good support and overcame a pace bias to boot when ending a long losing run over C&D 3 weeks ago and he makes most appeal with a repeat. Aspire To Glory and Coramento are others holding claims, along with Martin's Brig.

Verdict
Losing run is mounting up but best effort for a while without any headgear combination when second of 11 in minor event at Southwell (7.1f, 11/1) 8 days ago. Task is to back that up but definite claims if doing so. Engaged 3.55 Lingfield Wednesday.

Verdict
Modest gelding who barely had to improve on form shown in 2024 when winning 8-runner minor event (13/8) at this C&D 21 days ago by ¾ length from Martin's Brig, overcoming positional bias. Shortlist material.

Verdict
Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1, showed more than previously when 1¼ lengths third of 8 to Cloch Nua in minor event at this C&D 21 days ago, running on. Less exposed than most if he can build on that here.

5-time course winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2023. 16/1, good fourth of 11 in minor event at this course (7.1f) 13 days ago, rallying. Application of a first-time visor could well sharpen him up here.
