Unbeaten in three starts this year with two of those three coming here over C&D and has been favourite on all three occasions winning very easily on all three starts. Has to now cope with an inflated mark of 81 but has been given a break and should still be able to take a hand here.

7/1
One of five C&D winners in this who would have a chance on his old form but has yet to fire this year and missed the break last time out. Probably best watched this time around given his runs this year.

Had a little run of form earlier in the season with three runner-up slots in a row (one over C&D with both first and third winning next time). Not had a awful lot of luck with the draw/track position in his last two starts and hard to ignore back at a track that suits although he's not had much luck with the draw again.

Returned to form all of a sudden when winning at Hamilton on soft ground over 5f under an enterprising ride getting on the favoured ground. Wasn't in anything like the same form last time out at York but well drawn to lead here from stall seven.

Certainly hinted at a revival on her penultimate start at Pontefract (poorly drawn and set strong pace) and has slipped below her last winning mark. Again shaped well last time out when not seen to best effect and hampered in the closing stages and certainly has a chance off this mark.

Made a very good reappearance this year when taking the runner-up slot at Redcar over 5f off a mark of 75. Hasn't really gone on from that run though in two starts since although might not have had the run of the race on either occasion and should be able to run well off this mark.

In much better form last year when he was a winner at Beverley in September off a mark of 70 over 5f but hasn't quite fired this year. May just need the handicapper to ease him a little or a step down in grade to get back on the winning trail.

Kinloch Pridep14
Age: 5|  Weight: 8-13| J: P Mathers| T: N Wilson| OR:  67| D
6/1
She's already taken four handicaps this year all in a lower grade and might just be starting to find this mark beyond her after her last win came off a mark of 61. Should give her running but has plenty to do with her stable mate Longroom in this class.

Forecasts

Longroom (11/8), Kinloch Pride (6/1), Kibaar (7/1), New Road Side (15/2), Silvanus (8/1), Desert Ace (8/1), Astrophysics (16/1), Economic Crisis (22/1)

Verdict

A competitive sprint and even though the assessor has given LONGROOM an 11lb rise in the weights from his last win the style and manner of his last few wins suggests he’s up to this mark over a C&D that suits. Silvanus is hard to ignore but may get a little isolated from his draw and the main danger probably comes from New Road Side and Desert Ace.
