15.10: Sleepy Head – NAP

Sleepy Head has never really convinced at two miles, but she ran with plenty of credit over that trip at this track last time, keeping on at the same pace after being ridden to get into contention around two furlongs out. The drop back to a mile and a half, aligned with the addition of first-time blinkers, could see an improved effort from Sleepy Head. She is now 7 lb below her last winning mark and makes more appeal than most in this field.

16.50: Masalai – Next Best

Masalai is now just 1lb above his last winning mark and has been leaving the impression of late that he could be ready to strike. He went very close to recording a fourth course success in first-time cheekpieces when beaten a head in second over a mile here last month and ran just as well in defeat returned to this venue last time. The drop back to seven furlongs won’t be an issue for him and he is fancied to capitalise in a race that should pan out well for him.

16.15: Ben Asker – Each-Way

Ben Asker didn’t show anything on his sole start for Mick Halford in September, but showed more on his first start for this yard when finishing midfield in a course and distance maiden in November. He ran to a similar level when finishing eighth back here last time, still in touch with the principals entering the straight but fading as though the run may still have been needed. Ben Asker starts life in handicaps from a very workable mark now, and should be competitive in a first-time tongue strap.
