Verdict

The forecast rain may tip the balance in favour of WILD CLARY and he's taken to record a deserved first handicap success. Kiniro looks on a handy mark for new connections but is likely to face softer conditions than previously faced, while there are no ground concerns for Pressure's On, who is also weighted to go well in a competitive event.

4	Sole win came in 6f Southwell maiden last summer but he underlined a very solid handicap record when third of 14 at Carlisle last time and is expected to make a bold bid with sights slightly lowered. 1st Pick 4 Wild Clary (Ire) Jockey: Sean Levey Trainer: Richard Hannon J: Sean Levey T: Richard Hannon	99	-	-	-	50%

7	Notched a second career all-weather success on final start for Harry Charlton at Lingfield last October and has shaped better than the form figures would imply in 2 starts for new stable. Looks interesting with Oisin Murphy back aboard, though is yet to race on ground worse than good. 2nd Pick 7 Kiniro Jockey: Oisin Murphy Trainer: Dan Horsford J: Oisin Murphy T: Dan Horsford	100	-	-	-	13%

8	Ground-versatile sort whose 3 career victories have come at 7f. Didn't see out his race when fifth of 8 at Newcastle on his latest start, but the drop back in distance shouldn't be an inconvenience given the likely conditions, and he's worth another chance. 3rd Pick 8 Pressure's On (Fr) Jockey: Hector Crouch Trainer: Ed Dunlop J: Hector Crouch T: Ed Dunlop	98	-	-	-	17%
