20/1
First run for this yard having won four times in France over 1m-1m1f before being bought for €57,000 in November. Cheekpieces worn for last three starts including latest win; not that well handicapped on his GB debut off the back of an absence.

9/4
Easily won a Pontefract maiden (1m, soft) in a first-time hood last year before running below-par on handicap debut up to 1m2f on quicker ground. Gelded since (tongue-tie added to hood), could well make a decent 4yo, any rain won't hinder.

33/1
Twice a winner in 2019 taking an amateur riders' event for his last win at Ascot in October (7f, soft). Won't mind any further rain, up 2lb for that last win. Showed little on his recent return at Newmarket, usually takes a few runs to come to boil.

Byron's Choice266
Age: 5|  Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: M Dods| OR:  89
11/1
In good form throughout 2018 landing a 7f hat-trick; lightly-raced since then (only seen five times) making the frame a couple of times. One of two for the yard in this; not badly handicapped, does have a long absence to overcome, others appeal more.

5/1
Already struck twice this year on the AW over 7f (prominently-ridden both times), ran another sound race once racing had resumed at Newmarket (7f, good/firm). First try at 1m (should be suited by it); shown that he can cope with this mark, shortlist.

Triple Distilled322
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-4| J: Rowan Scott(3)| T: N Tinkler| OR:  88WS
18/1
Progressed well for this yard as a 3yo scoring back-to-back victories at York over 7f, different ground each time. Returns from wind surgery, previous try at this trip (unplaced) came on stable debut, sort to have more to offer as 4yo, may need this.

Danielsflyer315
Age: 6|  Weight: 9-4| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Dods| OR:  88
14/1
On a long losing sequence although he has slipped 5lb below last winning mark (gone well fresh in the past). Never won beyond 6f but is unexposed at this trip, overall record tempers enthusiasm but first-time out may be the time to catch him.

Elerfaan371
Age: 6|  Weight: 9-3| J: D Tudhope| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR:  87
13/2
Very lightly-raced for a 6yo, produced a couple of sound efforts in defeat on first two starts of last year (runner-up twice over 7f). Shaped well enough on final 2019 start (failed to finish off as well as threatened); travels strongly, respected.

Age: 9|  Weight: 9-3| J: B A Curtis| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR:  87| D
12/1
Back-to-back 1m winner in 2019 (took Carlisle Bell on first occasion), in hood both times. Didn't quite hit he same notes after that, without usual hood for reappearance (still missing here), may need an easier task to return to winning form.

Age: 4|  Weight: 9-2| J: S A Gray| T: K Dalgleish| OR:  86| BF| D
20/1
Three-time winner in 2019 (stepped up in trip each time, final win at 1m); back on form after below-par runs on 1m AW reappearance in February. Caused a 20-1 surprise; disappointed soon after failing to cope with 5lb rise/drop to 7f, same mark here.

Alfred Richardson246
Age: 6|  Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Beasley| T: J J Davies| OR:  86| D
14/1
Back to winning ways at Ripon (fair record there) in July (1m, good/firm) without his usual blinkers. Form gradually tailed away throughout 2019, returns from a break (just above last winning mark), has a few questions to answer.

Tricorn98
Age: 6|  Weight: 9-2| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR:  86| D
16/1
Not posted a winning run since early-2017 when he rattled off an AW/turf hat-trick for John Gosden. Wolverhampton return (9.5f) was his best race for this yard (handicapper cut him some slack), lurks on an attractive mark if coming on for that run.

Forecasts

Joyful Mission (9/4), Asdaa (5/1), Elerfaan (13/2), Byron's Choice (11/1), Rousayan (12/1), Alfred Richardson (14/1), Danielsflyer (14/1), Tricorn (16/1), Triple Distilled (18/1), Teston (20/1), Caustic Love (20/1), King's Pavilion (33/1)

Verdict

Plenty of interest in this handicap with Joyful Mission looking to redeem his reputation after a below-par effort (ran too free) at Goodwood on handicap debut. That was a competitive event but this contest is no slouch for the grade and the Stoute inmate will need to be at the top of his game in a new headgear combination. Triple Distilled interests after wind surgery although he has to prove himself at this trip with the well handicapped but rarely successful Danielsflyer also worth a second glance. Asdaa ought to enjoy a first try at this trip but it may be worth speculating on the handicap lurker TRICORN whose effort at Wolverhampton provided hope for the future especially back at 1m.
