J: David Allan

T: Tim Easterby

2-5 since blinkers went on in August, both wins over 6f on good ground at Catterick; held in fifth at Ripon last time but he didn't get the best of runs and wasn't far behind Flowstate; probably still has some room to manoeuvre off this mark and he's on the shortlist.

Form & Verdict
Went very close at Ripon in May but this 10yo has a patchy profile nowadays and is 5lb out of the handicap; others appeal more.

Made all at Pontefract (5f) in August and he's 6lb lower now back on AW; however, this 10yo has failed to fire on grass on his last three outings and he's 0-15 on AW.

Second in this last year (good to firm) and won at Ripon (5f, good) last September, both off 4lb higher; hasn't shone this season, however, and might not want slow ground nowadays.

Into the veteran stage but he retains enthusiasm and ran well when a close third at Newcastle on last month's return to action (5f); stopped quickly back there 12 days ago and today's trip is a major query.

Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Catterick (5f, good to firm) last month and is versatile ground-wise; solid third at Musselburgh next time but failed to threaten over this C&D most recently.

Having dropped down the weights he returned to form when second at Musselburgh (5f, good) last time behind a thriving winner; unproven on slow ground; each-way contender if backing up that latest effort.

Two-time turf winner (5f, good to firm) who was running well in defeat on AW in the winter; back up in grade for his reappearance but he's still feasibly weighted and the betting will be useful.
