SHANTOU EXPRESS is the clear favourite in this fixture after hitting top form last time out.
He was back on top of his game, scoring well at Market Rasen three weeks ago.
Shantou Express looks to be on a fair mark and even though he gives weight to everyone, he’s still a massive player.
GALILEO SILVER is tried over the hurdles, which could be a smart decision.
After winning back to back chase efforts, he put in a horrible run at Sedgefield three months ago.
The tongue tie is on for the first time as Galileo Silver is switched to the smaller stuff and that could spark a revival.
FULL OF LIGHT scored on his handicap debut at Plumpton in December, which was his penultimate run.
There’s nice potential there, even though his follow up back at the same venue was nowhere near the same level a couple of months ago.
Ones to watch: Galileo Silver 9/2, Full Of Light 5/2

PRINCE DES FICHAUX has gone well on his two efforts so far, his debut being the pick of the form with a runner up spot.
He was last seen earning the same finish at Uttoxeter three weeks ago and is entitled to come on further for his handicap debut.
TO BE SURE looks like being the pick of the bunch however after returning to winning ways for trainer Evan Williams on his latest.
To Be Sure landed a good score at Exeter 12 days ago, and he banked a course and distance handicap in November.
RADDON TOP has done well over the hurdles this season once he moved over to handicapping.
There was a hattrick completed by Raddon Top in February. A third at Fontwell saw him miss the four-timer but he should be a player.
Ones to watch: Prince Des Fichaux 13/8, Raddon Top 4/1

BLUEBERRY WINE picked up his first win over the fences in a run at Sedgefield. That came directly after a wind op.
He doubled his tally with a score back at the same venue a month ago.
So he’s in solid form and Blueberry Wine is a big contender for this handicap action.
LUCKY FLIGHT was a runner up in a field of three at Kelso three weeks ago, a solid run.
It’s a long winless streak of form that Lucky Flight is currently on, but there have been positives in defeat this season.
It is also a really weak field that he faces on Sunday.
HIGH NOON steps into action for a yard that is in form and could enjoy a return to Market Rasen.
He won a couple of times at the venue last summer.
His form did fade towards the end of the campaign. High Noon is refreshed after a break of six months and looks the best of the rest.
Ones to watch: Lucky Flight 13/8, High Noon 3/1

MEGA YEATS does look to be on a reasonable mark for Sunday’s contest although she can be a frustrating one to follow.
There was a win for Mega Yeats in 2019 at Market Rasen and the recent return at Ayr offered encouragement. Place claims are reasonable.
THIRTYFOURSTITCHES looks like the frontrunner in this contest and clearly has the pick of the form in this small field.
It has been three wins in his last four efforts. The front-runner scored here at the venue three weeks ago and now comes up 5lb.
ENFIN PHIL has won a couple of times this season, the most recent of those happening at Sedgefield on Boxing Day.
He was well below his best on his follow up.
Enfin Phil has been away for 81 days and has patchy form. Place claims are reasonable, however.
Ones to watch: Enfin Phil 4/1, Mega Yeats 3/1

AHORSEWITHNONAME makes a rare foray on the Flat, which is strange as she was wonderfully progressive on the level in 2019.
Ahorsewithnoname recently took a runner-up spot at the Cheltenham Festival in the Dawn Run a month ago.
Ryan Moore is booked which is pretty eye-catching.
AURIFEROUS has seen things together nicely this season. He opened the season with a score as a Southwell novice.
On the move to the 2m distance for the first time, Auriferous produced another good run with a runner-up spot at Kempton.
He found a wonderfully progressive one too good there.
MASTER MILLINER returns after a long break looking to complete a hattrick.
Last summer he continued his upward curve by winning a couple of times at York. That’s four wins in six efforts at the 2m distance.
Master Milliner has come up with an extra 8lb which is testing. But as he won last year’s reappearance run, he’s probably a player.
Ones to watch: Master Milliner 5/1, Auriferous 13/2

MINE’S A DOUBLE sets the standard in this contest having won three times last season in three runs.
There was excellent progress there from Mine’s A Double who returns 6lb up.
He did get off the mark in handicapping the last term, so is a massive threat.
DIGITAL is another to bank a spot on the shortlist after a win at Southwell 54 days ago. That was a convincing win for which he gets 5lb.
That’s two good efforts from Digital this season and he could still have plenty more to come and is race fit.
GLOBAL PROSPECTOR was excellent last year, banking four wins, including securing a hattrick.
He went close to adding another victory on his final run of the campaign when he was a runner up at Sandown.
If he picks up where he left off, Global Prospector commands respect.
Ones to watch: Digital 11/4, Mine’s A Double 9/4
