Not disgraced when fourth of 11 upped to this trip last month; may have to settle for supporting role given the strong opposition here.

Favourite and just came up short here over 1m (handicap) last month; edging up the ratings but runs for only the second time in a handicap; big chance from ground-saving starting berth.

Ran a bit below expectations (sent off 8-13) when fourth upped to this distance last month; runs for only the second time in a handicap; more than capable if on song so is respected.

Out of the frame when eighth last month upped to 1m1f; unexposed in handicaps with this his second start in this company; interesting as would have leading chance if back in the same form he showed when winning two starts ago.

Finished 11th, beaten just over 5l, in a Grade 3 five days ago; from a respected yard; now dropping in class and entitled to respect.

Fair effort when beaten just under 5l, finishing sixth of ten in a progress plate last month; facing a testing assignment and one to tread carefully with.

Useful performance to win here by 5l in a maiden plate when getting off the mark at the third time of asking last month.

Finished fourth, beaten 5½l, in an apprentice handicap three months ago; successful twice in his last four starts; this only his second handicap outing; this looks a fair heat so not one to rely on.

Verdict
GOTTHETIGER is strongly fancied to come out on top. He looks to have a form edge on the strength of his latest place and is a one-time course winner. Walkinginthewoods has winning form over C&D.
