Wearing blinkers for the first time when finishing ½L second over 3m at Bangor (good-to-soft) last month. Races off a 1lb higher mark and wearing a first time visor today.
Beaten 9L into second in an eight runner contest over 3m at Perth (good) last month. Races off the same mark here and has won off higher marks over hurdles in the past.
Veteran and winner of a point-to-point at Whitfield (good) in April and finished third at the same course last month. Won off much higher handicap marks in the past and interesting to see how he fares on his first run since rejoining this yard.
Dual chase winner in late 2015 but well beaten in both runs in 2017 including at Southwell last time out. Rated 4lb lower than when 3L third over 2m4f at Leicester (firm) in November and steps up in trip here.
Maiden after nine starts and beaten 62L into sixth in a ten runner contest at Stratford (good) last time out. Wears a tongue tie here and racing from out of the handicap for a yard who have a 50% strike-rate of late (4/8).
Twice a winner over an extended 2m at this track but well beaten in all starts since finishing third at Market Rasen (soft) in November 2013. Hard to recommend from a long way out of the handicap.

Forecasts
Court Dismissed (6/4), Shaiyzar (11/4), Rogue Dancer (7/2), Mostly Bob (5/1), Repeat The Feat (6/1), Larkhall (7/1), Provincial Pride (7/1), Peak Seasons (66/1)
ROGUE DANCER ran well when finishing third at Huntingdon last time out and he can go two better by taking this concluding handicap chase. The selection should appreciate the forecast conditions here and can get the better of top weight Court Dismissed who ran well on good-to-soft ground last time out. Repeat The Feat disappointed last time out but wears a tongue tie for the first time here and can finish third for a yard in good form at present despite racing from out of the handicap today.
