Last win came over 6f at Redcar on good-to-soft ground conditions that looked to play to his strengths aided by a falling mark. His form since then has been modest though although he made a little progress when back in headgear over 5f at Beverley last time out.

Remains a maiden after 10 starts and now makes her second start for this yard after being with David Elsworth previously. Looked to need the run last time out over 7f and switches back to 6f here off the same mark and may well be best watched again.

This track generally suits his style of racing and he's well drawn to take a prominent position here but will need to show more than he did over C&D last time out in a seller (failed to lead).

Now on a long losing run and although she's down to a good mark the spark that would be needed to use that mark doesn't really appear to be there at the moment.

Switched to the AW and well supported on his handicap debut he scored off this mark in May over 7f. Tried in headgear since then when his form had taken a disappointing turn he shaped better last time out back at the scene of his only win so far forcing the pace. His turf form is only modest but the first-time blinkers and an inside draw make him of some interest here.

Still a maiden but ran a lot better in first-time cheekpieces last time out over 6f at Thirsk doing best of the high drawn runners when all of the other places were filled with runners from low draw. Looks well up to winning a handicap off a mark like this given that run and nicely drawn for a yard that are in good form (four of their last eight runners have won).

May well be capable of better form on the AW but did look to show some mild promise in a 5f Beverley handicap on her penultimate start. Failed to back that run up though last time out dropped into a seller (slow away) and maybe that promise was a flash in the pan given her overall profile.

9/2
Course winner who generally runs well at this course (122642 here) with his latest placing coming in a C&D seller behind Searanger who runs in the first division of this handicap. Now back into a handicap off a workable mark but does meet a few in-form types here and would have had a better chance in the other division.

Irresolute and unreliable sort who did manage to win twice last year with the last of those two victories coming in a 5f handicap on heavy ground in October. Well below his last winning mark now but looks as though he is lacking the fire to take advantage at the moment.

A long-standing maiden (0/18) who is basically of little interest despite the drop in trip here to 6f.

Forecasts

Kroy (11/4), Deben (9/2), Whipphound (5/1), My Girl Maisie (6/1), Be Bold (13/2), Cryptonite (8/1), Bold Spirit (9/1), Misu Moneypenny (12/1), Diamond Avalanche (22/1), Emerald Secret (22/1), Nellie Deen (33/1)

Verdict

This division of the 6f handicap looks stronger than the first but it should still give KROY a good chance of getting off the mark given how well he ran at Thirsk last time out especially with the Ollie Pears stable in such good form. My Girl Maisie shaped well enough last time out and she should be competitive off this mark. Deben always run swell here and should again be in the mix along with Cryptonite and Bold Spirit if that one can grab the lead this time around.
