50/1
Four times a winner (Flat and hurdles) but was always tricky to catch right at the best of times. Not disgraced on first start for new yard and gets a 5lb drop for that, but this trip a bit of an unknown. Comes with risk, but not discounted.

Not seen out for over a year now, and likely to need the run after such an absence, Trip likely to be fine, and has won on Lingfield's Equitrack in the past, so surface fine, but comes with too may risks here.

9/1
Just the one win in 20 starts, and recent efforts rather suggest she's limited these days. Can finish off her race well at times when there's enough pace up front, but looked one-paced here last time and overall profile isn't strong.

50/1
Of limited ability, and this mark looks plenty high enough based on her recent hurdles efforts, but may enjoy the change of surface after slogging around in the mud for much of the winter. Others still preferred, though.

Iconic Belle21

Yet to win in nine starts, and already looks limited. Ran okay at Lingfield two starts back but couldn't reproduce that on latest run. Step back up in trip may help, and still relatively early days, so not written off just yet.

11/2
Won a maiden here in 2016, and has probably been on too high a handicap mark for a while as a result. Third in a seller last time a better effort, but it still needs improvement, and this trip an unknown too.

Sky Marshal17
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-3| J: L Morris| T: E Walker| OR:  63| D
9/4
Has really found his stride now, winning last two and had a bit in hand when victorious at Lingfield latest. 6lb rise less of a concern than the wide draw, but even allowing for that, this is a modest contest and the hat-trick a distinct possibility

Age: 7|  Weight: 9-2| J: Joey Haynes| T: P Holmes| OR:  60| C
3/1
Has refound some form on his last couple of starts, both at this track, so handles surface well. Trip no issue either and you can expect to see a late charge. Quicker they go up front the better, and he holds place claims at worst.

7/2
Another in good form at present, and might have gone close to winning on latest start but for being denied room at a key time. Upped in trip here, which asks a new question, but chances if he gets it. Needs consideration.

50/1
Form very patchy, and his win at Southwell in April last year rather stands out like a beacon in a sea of otherwise moderate efforts. Will strip fitter for recent run but too much to prove here.

Pops up from time to time, often when unexpected, not beaten far at Lingfield in December but efforts since leave plenty to be desired. Capable of the shock but overall profile suggests we look elsewhere for the winner.

On the downgrade these days and little encouragement to be taken from his efforts over the past few months. Makes minimal appeal.

No win in 17 starts and not seen on a racecourse for a year and a half. Hard to make nay case for at all and looks a most unlikely winner.

Forecasts

Sky Marshal (9/4), Bogardus (3/1), Rakematiz (7/2), Intermodal (11/2), Kath's Legacy (9/1), Iconic Belle (20/1), Estibdaad (20/1), Freud (20/1), Austin Friars (33/1), Lord Franklin (40/1), Sword of The Lord (50/1), Boutan (50/1), Bushel (50/1), Wally's Wisdom (66/1)

Verdict

There should be some pace on here and that can only help BOGARDUS, who likes to come with a late charge. He's in decent form and deserves to get his head in front, and it may well happen here. Rakematiz will be a big danger if getting this trip, which isn't a given, but he shapes like he's worth a try at it. Sky Marshal is on a roll but a wide draw in stall 14 won't help his cause here, and he may have to settle for the places.
