Counting Cards
Prominent in the betting ahead of his handicap debut at Southwell in October (1m; first run for 399 days after wind and gelding operations) and he ran well, finding only Tribal Wisdom (runs in the 5.30 and has won twice since) too strong; runs off the same mark and dropping in trip can help.

Monotone
Down the field in two runs for new stable 132 days apart (had wind surgery after the first); drops in class but others make more appeal.

Runner-up twice on turf in the summer; not far short of that form when third of four over 1m here on AW debut in October; improvement required now handicapping.

Creditable efforts on his last three visits to Newcastle; closely matched with Bajan Bandit on latest run; each-way shout.

Bajan Bandit
Back in form this month, winning over C&D on December 2 and then keeping on for second back here last week; still has handicapping scope and he holds solid claims again.

Just Typical
Five wins this year and he ran right up to his best when staying on well for third over C&D last week; this race isn't sure to be so strongly run but he's one to consider.

C&D win in October and she has run some fair races in defeat since; not sure she's ahead of her mark though.

Bobby Joe Leg
Prolific AW winner but he is rising 12 and two heavy defeats back from a break have seen him drop a measly 2lb; likely to come good again at some point but perhaps not today.

Brazilian Rose
Three 6f wins here in January; mixed bag more recently, finding little having tanked through a C&D handicap last week, and others appeal more for win purposes.

Miners Gamble
Well beaten twice this month (after 205 days off) and the trip shouldn't have been an issue on either occasion; drop back to 7f asks a different question of him.
