Fenlander

J: Christian Howarth
T: Pam Sly
F: 623-23611

Age: 5
Weight: 9st 9lbs
Or: 72

Took 17 runs to get off the mark but has won his last 2 6f handicaps at Leicester, including in dominant fashion to beat 8 rivals by 3¾ lengths last time. 9 lb higher mark to contend with in pursuit of the hat-trick but likely to prove hard to peg back in current heart.

Made up into a fairly useful sort last year but yet to fire either start since returning from 6 months off and first-time cheekpieces are now reached for.

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 5lbs

Won maiden at Wolverhampton in October but last in first-time tongue strap on handicap debut at Kempton returning from 6 months off in April. Strap removed now and he could bounce back making turf debut after further 78 days off.

Master Of Entropy

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 4lbs
Or: 74

Lightly-raced gelding who showed ability in qualifying for a mark but was too free when sixth of 7 on handicap debut over 7.6f at Chester 13 days ago. Difficult to assess down in trip.

Paws For Thought (Ire)

J: James Sullivan
T: Donald McCain
F: 273109-07

Age: 8
Weight: 9st 11lbs
Or: 74

Last won from this mark at Chester in September but has struggled at that track since returning from a 7-month break in May. Needs the return of cheekpieces to spark a revival.

Timeform Verdict

FENLANDER is in the form of his life so may be able to dominate matters once more despite a hike in the weights, the rest all having questions marks over them in one way or another. Return Of The Gods could be very dangerous if bouncing back from a tame reappearance, though.
