Won over C&D last month and placed on next four starts prior to winning over C&D last Saturday; it was an apprentice handicap last time, so he escapes a penalty today; solid contender.

Form & Verdict
Won at Newcastle and Redcar last year and he returned from a break with a close fourth over C&D last month; looks interesting on that form and he had an excuse when he did too much too soon over 7f here two weeks ago; dangerous back in trip.

J: Alex Jary

T: Nigel Tinkler

There have been enough good runs since November's Redcar win to think this mark was in range and this race is much weaker than the Haydock handicap three weeks ago in which he weakened out of things only inside the final furlong; didn't look the easiest ride there but he still makes some each-way appeal back in a 0-60.

Off the mark at the 18th attempt when coming from rear to score over C&D ten days ago; back up 4lb in the weights but he pulled clear with Tomorrow Day last time and he was as good as ever with that convincing success; respected.

It took him a long time to get off the mark but he has won three of his last six starts and two of his last three; form of latest Pontefract (6f, good) success couldn't be working out much better (second, third and fourth all won next time) and a 3lb rise is no issue; obvious chance.

Not in the same form as he was in May and June last year but he's on a lowly mark now and, after being pushed along from some way out, he did stick well to the task when fourth over C&D (good to firm) recently; form case to be made down in grade.

Form & Verdict
Caused a surprise with a 40-1 win in big-field handicap at Ayr (6f, good to soft) last summer; only 1lb higher than for that success but she's taken three backward steps since and her last run was in September; others are more convincing.
