His mark continues to tumble but he's finished down the field on all three starts this year and a major turnaround is needed.

All four wins have come over C&D, the latest last September, and he went close at Southwell in December; on a handy mark but hasn't really threatened over this C&D on his last three starts and he needs to raise his game.

Dibble Dabble
Below par on her last two starts last autumn; however, a break may have helped this C&D winner and she's on a competitive mark on form as recent as last August, no surprise if she runs well.

Found no improvement when 7l fifth of ten over C&D on last month's handicap debut; however, this lightly raced 4yo is in good hands and this latest start was his first since last August, so he may come on for it.

Miss Applejack
December's handicap hurdle win came off a lowly mark and improvement is needed on this Flat handicap debut; however, she's a bumper winner who has shown some ability among her three Flat starts; not ruled out.

Five-time course winner, the last two over C&D in January, and close second over C&D last time; solid claims.

Silk Bird
1m turf winner in July 2023 but tailed off on her three runs for a new yard this winter, following a long absence; goes up in trip; hard to fancy.

Forest Spirit
Went very close here (1m4f) in September on handicap debut and bounced back from lesser run here (1m6f) last month to win by 5l at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) on Saturday; that was an apprentice handicap so she escapes a penalty, and will be very hard to beat if backing up that performance.

Some good form for new yard this winter prior to last month's win at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta); not quite at the same level at Chelmsford (1m2f, Tapeta) but might be able to bounce back and be in the mix today.
