Fred Winter third LIAM SWAGGER finished strongly from a poor position back on the level at Chelmsford over this trip a fortnight ago and looks to have good claims from the same mark. Blindedbythelights could have more to offer if all is well, while Align The Stars and Wild Waves can bounce back from poor efforts and could be in the mix.

    Third in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham and shaped well returned to handicap company on the level at Chelmsford recently, finishing to good effect having had to come from further back than the pair that beat him. Strong chance off the same mark.

    Verdict
    Has been a cracking flagbearer for this yard over the last few years and, out just 7 days after blundering away his chance in the Scottish Champion Hurdle, landed a similarly valuable prize back on the Flat at Musselburgh a fortnight ago. Will need more under a penalty but rarely runs a bad race.

    Verdict
    Successful twice during a steadily progressive 3-y-o season and much better than he could show after 8 months off when last of 4 in steadily-run Newcastle handicap only start in 2024 a year ago. Interesting that connections have stuck with him, and he is the type to rate higher if all is well.

    Verdict
    All the better for return and enhanced good record at Ripon when landing handicap last week. Longer trip fine and remains well treated on the pick of last season's efforts in competitive events. Engaged 4.05 here Saturday.

    Verdict
    Won first 2 handicap starts last spring and later fourth in the Melrose. Too fresh on return behind Kihavah at Musselburgh having been gelded, heavily eased off with the track possibly not in his favour also. No reason why he wouldn't train on and could show more here.

    Verdict
    Very progressive in handicaps last summer, completing hat-trick at Goodwood in August over this trip. Disappointing behind Kihavah in Musselburgh handicap last time but had previously gone close in small-field listed race on return and should bounce back. One to consider.

    Verdict
    Good fourth in Group 3 at Sandown on return last season but presumably hard to train since, seen just twice in the last year in handicaps and disappointing, eased off at Kempton in January. Goes up in trip with plenty to prove.

    Dual winner in 2023 and several good efforts last season, notably when third in the Ebor and November Handicap. Nudged up another 2 lb and could have a decent prize in him this year.

    Verdict
    Has done well under both codes for this yard, latest success coming in messy Doncaster handicap hurdle (only 4 flights jumped) in March. Never involved back on the level at Thirsk a fortnight ago but shouldn't stay down for long.
