Verdict

Top weight SIGNCASTLE CITY confirmed himself back in form when scoring over this C&D a fortnight ago and remains well reated on the pick of last season's form from a mark only 2 lb higher. The likeable and consistent Captain Parma, placed behind the selection last time, is also shortlisted, whilst Arantes Nascimento arrives in fine form and rates as another danger.

1	More promising signs when runner-up at Lingfield (7f) at the start of this month before going one better over this C&D 5 days later. Up only 2 lb and remains with plenty of handicapping scope on previous form, so rates as a leading player again. 1st Pick 1 Signcastle City (Ire) Jockey: Tyrese Cameron Trainer: Richard Hannon J: Tyrese Cameron T: Richard Hannon	100	-	-	-	46%

4	A most reliable sort, yet to finish out of the frame in 9 starts on AW. Scored at Southwell in October and was unlucky to bump into a couple that had dropped to handy marks when third of 9 behind Signcastle City over this C&D in handicap (5/1) 14 days ago Should remain competitive. 2nd Pick 4 Captain Parma (Ire) Jockey: Mason Paetel Trainer: James Owen J: Mason Paetel T: James Owen	97	-	-	-	20%

5	Runner-up on his last 3 starts in handicaps, including over this C&D in early-January and most recently when beaten only a neck in 9-runner event at Wolverhampton (9/2) later that month. Worth additional credit having been trapped wide there, and he should be in the mix again. 3rd Pick 5 Arantes Nascimento Jockey: Sean Levey Trainer: Michael Attwater J: Sean Levey T: Michael Attwater	98	-	-	-	23%
