D Holland
Tom Dascombe
Unplaced in all five starts. Well beaten at 11-2 behind Cockney Sparrow when fourth of 5 on his latest outing at Beverley over 1m 4f (soft) last month. He is wearing blinkers for the first time.
A host of potential improvers on show in this tightly-knit event, not least SHOT IN THE DARK. He didn't look at home on the all-weather surface when disappointing in a Southwell maiden on his last outing in November but had previously shown up well for second over 7f at Chepstow and looks reasonably treated provided he's trained on. Emman Bee brings decent handicap form to the table following a win at Lingfield and solid second at Nottingham, while Chrissycross and Flavius Victor also deserve respect.
