Savalas blew the start here last week and should do better, but SISTERS IN THE SKY (nap), who finished a close third that day, has a lot in his favour, being 2lb well in and having 5lb taken off by Jordan Williams, who's currently 1-1 on him. The step back up from 5f will suit Fishermans Cottage, while Alshimali looks the clear pick of Tony Carroll's trio.[Graham Wheldon]

Boasts a consistent profile over C&D, including when a close third last Wednesday, and is fine on any ground; will be 2lb higher from tomorrow and holds leading claims.
Generally struggled for the Cole yard and has regressed for current connections; withdrawn on account of unsuitable firm ground here recently, which wouldn't bode well, and doesn't make much appeal anyway.
Maiden who was expensive to follow on the AW in the winter and returns from a ten-week break today; ought to be up to winning off this mark, maybe here if settling early from a wide stall.
Generally kept to the AW (three-time Chelmsford winner) by Stuart Williams, from whom he was picked up for 12,000gns recently; has a lower mark on turf but for a reason and has a bit to prove without the usual tongue-tie.
Often pulls hard but has resumed in good form, hitting traffic down to 5f last time having broken his duck on comeback (6f, good to firm) off 2lb lower; much will hinge on how he settles early from a wide stall.
Found 5f too sharp on on his return to turf here early in the month before blowing it at the stalls behind Sisters In The Sky last week; one to consider.
Dual 5f Tapeta winner who achieved little in three runs over 6f-7f for Michael Appleby; has been inclined to hang left more than once and is some way down the pecking order for his new yard, having been picked up for just 1,000gns.
Three-time Wolverhampton 7f winner who rarely runs on turf or in sprints these days; usually has plenty of use made of him but whether he'll be able to hold a pitch, down in trip from the outside stall, remains to be seen.
On the decline last year; offering a bit more back on turf lately, finishing third to Fishermans Cottage at Salisbury (2lb better off) before another fair effort at the same course, but only holds each-way claims.
Regressive maiden who's still to get involved in a finish, latterly when coming last on his return from a year off four weeks ago (AW); Alshimali looks his yard's best chance.
Poor maiden who missed a huge chunk of his career and has struggled for five different yards; a hood hasn't helped of late and he's now tried in blinkers, coming right down in trip, for a trainer who runs two others.
