Winner of last 3 renewals of this race, making his first start of the year on each occasion. Lost his unbeaten record at this venue when last of 7 over C&D in January, but fresh might be the best time to catch him and he arrives on the back of a longer break.

Dual winner for Aidan O'Brien and shaped well on first start for Dylan Cunha when runner-up in a Wolverhampton handicap in November. Wasn't in the same form in his 2 subsequent outings, but the market could be informative on stable debut.

Built on the promise of his return when winning under Jack Callan at Lingfield (1m) 19 days ago, his fifth career success (4 on all-weather). Effective at this shorter trip and he's a major player in his current form.

Got back on the up when doubling his tally in a Sandown handicap last summer, a good test at 7f possibly his optimum. Making all-weather debut, shaped as if needing the run after 5 months off when fourth of 5 over C&D 3 weeks ago, so he could fare better.

Resumed winning ways at Lingfield (7f) in January and caught further back than ideal when 2 lengths sixth of 10 to Apiarist at the same course (1m) 19 days ago. Return to shorter trip should suit, though needs things to drop right given his hold-up style.

Analyst's Verdict

This could go the way of APIARIST who proved better than ever when scoring at Lingfield last time, enhancing his good record on all-weather. He gets the vote ahead of the progressive Sarab Star, while Mount Athos can also make his presence felt bidding for a fourth consecutive win in this race.

Betting Forecast : 9/43.25 Sarab Star, 3/14 Apiarist, 7/24.5 Mount Athos, 10/111 God Of War, 11/112 Golden Mind, 16/117 Serengeti, 22/123 Tiger Crusade
