Rattled off a hat-trick earlier in the year; only 1lb higher than for the third leg and he ran creditably at Salisbury three weeks ago; handles heavy ground so if the forecast deluge on raceday comes to fruition he won't be inconvenienced.

Mudlark who has yet to find his best form for Paul Midgley; there were promising signs at Beverley on his penultimate start, however, and a seemingly disappointing effort at Pontefract 17 days ago is easy to forgive (slowly away from a poor draw and caught out wide); interesting off a reduced mark.
