Won a Beverley handicap last summer when trained by Charles Hills; close third on his stable debut in August (1m2f, good to firm) but he has been well held twice since; full revival needed.

J: Billy Loughnane

T: Mark Loughnane

Well-beaten sixth at Newbury last month on second stable start but that was a curious race (winner scored by 17l); prior to that he was a close third at Nottingham (1m2f) on his stable debut and he's run well on Tapeta elsewhere in the past; not written off in first-time cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Prominent racer who won twice at this venue last September; off the mark this year when easily seeing off ten rivals at Pontefract in May (1m, good) and she's only 4lb higher today; fair effort over 1m2f here latest; in the mix.

Disappointing (0-13) since joining Lizzie Quinlan, last of 12 at Catterick (7f, soft; 50-1) over a fortnight ago; hopes pinned squarely on these newly applied cheekpieces and an AW return (0-7) providing the spark; risky even from this plummeting mark.

Form & Verdict
Two of her five wins have come over C&D, the latest when getting the better of Temper Trap in this race 12 months ago; not at her best the last twice but pick of this year's form gives her solid claims; more appealing than most.

Form & Verdict
Tends to hold his form well when finding it and he comes here on the back of a quick hat-trick, the last leg coming last week in comfortable fashion at Ripon (1m, soft); only 1lb higher today (4lb well in) and of obvious interest from a handicapping perspective but that was also the case when he was beaten at odds-on in this race 12 months ago; might get away with the ground in his current form but would be more appealing on good or slower.
