Southwell 17:48 Odds Comparison

Hasn't looked back since a second breathing operation last summer, winning twice from last 5 starts, including over C&D. Also has several other recent good efforts as runner-up to his name and looks sure to be in the mix once more.

Long time without a win but took a step back in the right direction when third of 6 in a handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 9 days ago, challenging deeper than ideal. Back up in trip today which may suit.

Kept busy of late and holds form claims judged on creditable third of 9 at Lingfield over 7f last week, but the drop back to 6f doesn't look ideal.

Twice a winner over C&D and he turned in a creditable effort when third of 8 at Kempton in first-time blinkers at the start of March. However, he was in nothing like the same form when racing freely 5 days ago and isn't the easiest to predict.

Finished last turf season with 3 poor outings in higher grades than this but he'd started the campaign with a winning reappearance, so merits some respect back on all-weather on return from 195 days off.

Promising enough start for new yard when third at Wolverhampton in February after 8 months off but struggled both outings since and needs the return of cheekpieces to perk him up.

Tumbling down the weights but better than the result on last couple of outings and has come good in the spring the last couple of years, so he probably has more to recommend him than first meets the eye.

Won at Newcastle over 5f in January but form has tailed off in three subsequent runs at that trip. Has recorded a win over this C&D but needs to bounce back.

Maiden who has failed to live up to his attractive pedigree due to his inability to settle. First run for new connections.

Won 3 times at Newcastle (all at 5f) over the winter but has gone off the boil the last couple of outings. Best when able to dominate matters.
