Won very easily over C&D last September positively storming clear of his field off a mark of 50. Couldn't quite match that form in two subsequent start but has gone well fresh before and goes well fresh.

Mark is falling and that may well allow him to take a prominent role in this with his last start looking to have blown the cobwebs away.

Form tailed off a little at the end of last season but overall this C&D winner maintained a good level of form. Certainly capable of winning of this mark (back down to last winning one) and has run well when fresh before.

Hasn't looked in much form at all this year and can be slow away and has generally looked a horse to treat with caution. Has won over C&D but would have to show more than he has so far this year to play a part and that looks unlikely.

Starts life for a new yard off a very lowly mark although a leap of faith is required to support her looking at her overall form. First try over 5f but a drop in trip has not looked needed so far.

On his AW form he would have a decent chance here and although he disappointing last time out returned to turf he was drawn wide and never really given a chance. Back in a smaller field he may well fare better this time over a C&D he has won over.

Verdict

Just a modest start to the card but there are five C&D winners in here and it’s quite hard to split these. Lizzy’s Dream remains of interest along with Longroom both previous winners over this C&D. This may be best left to two of the others who have found success here in the past in the shape of Thornaby Princess and the very well handicapped NOODLES BLUE BOY. The latter just edges this as he’s now 8lb lower than when scoring here in 2015 and the Catterick spin last month should see him stripping fitter for this.
  1. Noodles Blue Boy
  2. Thornaby Princess
  3. Lizzy's Dream
