It's now over 2 years since her last win (over C&D) but he's been knocking on the door this season with 3 runner-up efforts, most recently at this course (1¼m, good) 12 days ago. Fancied to be in the shake up nudged up 1 lb.

Douglas Dc (Ire)

Age: 8
Weight: 9st 4lbs

Long-standing Flat maiden who again showed little when seventh of 9 at Bath (1¼m, good to firm) earlier in the month. Headgear reapplied and Loughnane up for the first time but still very difficult to recommend.

Koko Blue

Age: 4
Weight: 9st 7lbs
Or: 53

Went without headgear and gave her all returning from 5 months off for a new yard when third of 11 at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) last month. Mark unchanged and every chance she will gain a breakthrough success here.

Amber Honey

Weight: 9st 9lbs

Successful over this 1m at Southwell in November but just respectable efforts at best since. Made a low-key start for new connections minus her usual headgear at Lingfield (1m) earlier in the month and is now hiked up in trip for her return to turf. Blinkers reapplied.

La Trinite

Age: 4
Weight: 9st 4lbs
Or: 50

Going the wrong way, making no impact in first-time tongue tie when ninth of 10 in handicap at Leicester (10f, good) when last seen 11 months ago. Has since moved yards and can only be watched on return.

Power Of Prayer (Ger)

Age: 4
Weight: 9st 7lbs
Or: 53

Dundalk scorer in November who shaped well back down in trip on first outing since leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien (for 8,000 gns) after 5 months off when third of 13 at this course (1¼m, good) 12 days ago. Returns to 1½m and she's one to be interested in.

Sarangpur (Ire)

Age: 4
Weight: 9st 6lbs
Or: 52

Much improved on handicap debut, finishing third of 14 at Gowran (9.6f soft) in April. Sent off favourite but possibly failed to stay at Sligo (10.7f, good to soft) the following month and that tempers enthusiasm having moved yards again since.

Timeform Verdict

KOKO BLUE ran a cracker on return/yard debut when third at Windsor last month and she gets the nod to go a couple of places better at the expense of Power of Prayer, who also made a promising start for new connections recently and will benefit from this return to 1½m. Night Bear can edge out Gearing's Point for minor honours.

Betting Forecast

3/1 Night Bear, 13/2 Gearing's Point, 20/1 Douglas Dc (Ire), 9/2 Koko Blue, 12/1 Amber Honey, 50/1 La Trinite, 5/1 Power Of Prayer (Ger), 40/1 Suitcase Smith, 6/1 Sarangpur (Ire)
