Still held chances when falling two out at Ludlow in February and ran well when finishing runner-up at Fontwell off this mark last month. Stable have a 21% strike-rate (9/42) in recent weeks and an interesting contender here.

Finished a well beaten runner-up when seeking a treble over 2m4f at Sedgefield in December. previously successful twice at Carlisle and making his handicap debut here with the trip and ground both likely to suit.

Winner of two of his last three outings including when justifying favouritism over 2m4f on good-to-firm ground at Wincanton in October. Races off a 6lb higher mark in this contest and interesting on his first start in six months.

Verdict

APPLESANDPIERRES held a decent chance when departing two from home on his penultimate outing at Ludlow in February and ran well subsequently when finishing runner-up at Fontwell last month. The selection races off the same mark here and can take this for his in form yard. Of his rivals Derintoher Yank chases his third win in four starts having finished runner-up last time out while Deserter is another of interest returning from a break here.
