8st 4lb |
Contesting this race for the fifth successive year, winning it 2018 and 2019; no better than sixth in the last two runnings but wouldn't be without hope if reproducing his penultimate run at Chester when prevailing comfortably. |

Redcar specialist (six wins there) who sits 3lb below his last winning mark; ran a solid race when runner-up to the subsequent Wolverhampton scorer Painters Palette on penultimate start, but wasn't quite on song at Beverley (8.5f) subsequently; remains fairly treated but others appeal more. |

13-91; won from this mark at Ripon (6f, soft; Ideal Guest third) last July and was runner-up at Pontefract (from 4lb higher) last September; weakened - eighth of nine - on last month's C&D comeback run (66-1) but that's likely to have brought him on. |

24th Jan 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

He has found a chunk of improvement of late, following his easy C&D win nine days ago with another victory here on Friday; has a 10lb penalty to deal with but the latest win was a good effort on the clock and he still looks feasibly weighted; obvious claims in his hat-trick bid. |
