Handicappers' nap

American Life (3.30 Plumpton)

Mud-loving veteran who gets his ground for the first time since placing off a 12lb higher mark at Chepstow in March. On a very long losing run but could pop up at a decent price.

Eyecatcher

Steal The Scene(2.20 Wolverhampton)

Stuck in a pocket from over a furlong out and shaped a good deal better than his position suggests. He may well have had a say in the finish with a clear run and compensation awaits.

Ace Tipster

Vaziani (2.00 Plumpton)

Entitled to improve after a below-par seasonal return at Cheltenham and he showed plenty of promise in two runs behind the smart Redicean and the top-class Champ last campaign. A mark of 116 looks enticing.
Robbie Wilders

Speed Figures

Dark Regard (5.45 Southwell)

Returned from a three month absence to romp home over course and distance three weeks ago and this lightly raced progressive filly can continue to make up for lost time.
Dave Edwards

Spotlight nap

Timely Gift (3.30 Plumpton)

Working back to form and stayed on well behind a subsequent winner at Fontwell last month. Holds a strong chance from a handicapping perspective, as he's 10lb lower than when winning at Ffos Las in November 2017. Interesting now upped further in trip.

Dark horse

Data Protection (3.20 Wolverhampton)

Progressive and largely consistent sort, should be in the mix again and can go well at an each-way price.
