J: Joey Haynes

T: Derek Shaw

Won off 5lb higher over C&D last February but he has form figures of 970068 since; had some traffic issues back at this track last week but he's a frequent slow starter and well into the veteran stage; down the list.

Tremendous sprinter who's won 11 times, four here; low key since returning from a break but he didn't look a completely lost cause at Chelmsford last month and the likely good pace here will suit; weighted to pounce and revival on the cards.

Right back on track since refitted with blinkers and he bids for a hat-trick after 6f wins at Wolverhampton and here; up another 3lb but game sort who merits serious consideration.
