VOLPONE JELOIS struck in a jumpers' bumper over this trip at Kempton earlier in the month, making all to notch a comfortable victory, and it would come as no surprise to see him follow up back in this sphere. Off a mark of 72 he appears competitively treated on his best Flat efforts. Mambo Dancer is 6lb higher than when scoring at Chelmsford last month but can fight it out with Western Way for the minor money. The last-named failed to sparkle on Fibresand latest but makes appeal on his earlier all-weather efforts.

In a race that lacks a standout candidate the marginal preference is for THEGLASGOWWARRIOR, who won twice over C&D over the winter. His two subsequent starts suggest that he can win a race of this nature off his current mark. At the other end of the weights Sam Missile makes some appeal, especially as he may improve for dropping in trip from 2m. Mister Belvedere's last couple of efforts last season were poor but he is a leading contender based on the pick of his form.

Plenty of these arrive here in questionable form, unlike GHOSTLY ARC, who won over C&D back in early February. That form is not the strongest but the handicapper has only raised the six-year-old 1lb in the ratings and that gives him a big shout this evening. Weather Front was second to the selection on that occasion but needs to bounce back from a disappointing effort at Wolverhampton. Zarkavon is another who merits consideration after she outran odds of 100-1 to finish second last time out..

The well-bred AMULETUM showed ability in a couple of starts in Ireland earlier in the winter and she made a promising start for this yard when finishing third over C&D a few weeks ago. The switch to handicap company should bring about the best in the daughter of New Approach and an opening mark of 65 appears to be rather generous. Ce La Vie was highly tried last season but does need to bounce back from a coupler of moderate efforts to close out 2017. Dose has only won one of her 24 starts to date but she often finds herself in the mix.

Dawaaleeb and Imperial Focus set the standard with official ratings of 82 and 77 respectively but the most interesting runner is without doubt SAMHARRY. The son of Exceed And Excel made a winning debut at Doncaster in July 2016 but he was then off the track until December last year. He was sent off an 11/10 favourite off a mark of 83 on that occasion but failed to fire. Connections have had plenty of chances to offload this four-year-old and in keeping him they must think he retains plenty of ability.

LUCKY LUCKY MAN has to give weight to all of his rivals this evening but that is because the son of Clodovil is a proven winner. That success came at Carlisle when he was last seen in September and the form has been boosted with the next five home all winning subsequently. Bustam is rated the same as the selection but he may be flattered by his current mark and has a bit to prove right now. Coastal Drive is another who can go well but may find one or two too good.
