Verdict
Despite carrying a 6 lb penalty, this looks a good opportunity for POMME POMME to follow up last week's handicap debut success. Ignition ran a career best on his penultimate start over C&D and he's a player if returning to that form following a break. Of the rest, Invincible Storm appeals most having finished runner-up on his first run in a handicap at this venue last month.

VerdictLightly-raced sort proved a different proposition on handicap debut when winning 10-runner handicap at Bath (10.2f, good to firm, 16/1) 8 days ago, eased closed home. Carries a 6 lb penalty over this shorter trip but remains open to improvement. - 2. IgnitionJ: Jack DoughtyT: Edward Smyth-OsbourneF: 679738-34

VerdictLooked unlucky not to justify market confidence when third in a C&D handicap in February but failed to repeat that effort 6 days later over a longer trip, finishing fourth of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (10f). Has been given a break and merits consideration back down in trip.

VerdictThrice-raced maiden again showed little when 28/1, sixth of 9 in maiden at Chelmsford City (6f) 14 days ago, though was entitled to need the run after 9 months off. One to keep an eye on in the betting now significantly up in trip on handicap debut.
