Isle Of Sark seems likely to run another creditable race, though others are preferred for the win. Wonder Starelzaam has been off for eight months, but is back off his last winning mark and his record fresh makes him a player. The choice is CAVALLUCCIO (nap) who has only once finished out of the frame in eight starts over C&D and should appreciate the return to this trip after two good efforts over 1m.[David Bellingham]

Placed in all five starts over 1m2f-1m6f since returning to the AW last month; hasn't always enjoyed the best of luck and this time he has the widest draw; another creditable effort is likely, but others are preferred for the win.
Twice placed at Wolverhampton (7f/8.6f) in December, but 0-15 since his successful debut and something to prove stepping up to this trip for the first time.
Off eight months, but is 3-4 when returning from a break of ten weeks or more and is back off the same mark as when successful at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) just over a year ago; one for the shortlist.
Out of the frame in his last three starts, but is back off the same mark as when winning at Southwell (1m) in December, his eighth success on Tapeta; rarely seen on Polytrack (0-5) and opposable for that reason.
Record over C&D reads 31316212; still 7lb higher than when bolting up here in January, but he has run well to be placed in all three outings since, the last two over 1m; should appreciate stepping back up to this trip and high on list.
Back off the same mark as when winning at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) early last year, the last time he contested a Class 4 on the AW; has something to prove back from 259 days off, though.
Now 7lb below his last winning mark, but hasn't shone in his last few starts and has enough to prove tackling this far for the first time; visor removed.
Both wins on turf at Carlisle (6f/7.7f), the latest from 4lb higher; 0-7 on AW, though has run with credit to finish third at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) the last twice; more needed to win this, though.
Often a front-runner who has gained three of his five wins over C&D; something of a mixed bag of late, though he did regain winning form at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) last month; capable of playing a part on his best form.
