12/1
Two wins to his name last year came off higher marks but the majority of his form this year has been fairly ordinary and so far he's been unable to take advantage of a falling mark.

A Pontefract winner last year (his only win so far) he shaped well on his reappearance this year off a 10lb higher mark. He's not been able to build on that run in four starts since though and despite a declining mark doesn't look able to take advantage.

His last two wins have come in sellers although he's run well in handicaps also for a yard that are starting to make a real impression on the Flat. Suited by the way the race was run last time and should take a hand again here.

Showed his best form when putting together a hat-trick early last year with the two handicap wins coming off higher marks. Most of his form this year has been poor although he did find more dropped into a 0-55 last time and this is a little harder.

One of six three-year-olds in the field he makes his handicap debut here having shown ability in the past. He's looked to show better form over 7f and he might not be totally suited by this return to shorter now.

Has shown some ability and her first try at 5f last time out may not have suited and going handicapping back over 6f may suit a lot better than that run.

22/1
Most of her form is very modest although she did look to be coming back to her best last time out with a third over this trip at Catterick. Appeared refreshed after a break last time with a reduced mark helping with the soft ground even looking to be another box ticked having not run on such a surface before.

13/8
Had shown plenty of promise with a second at Doncaster a couple of runs ago and looked a winner waiting to happen although he might not have been suited by the 7f trip in the run after that. A drop back to 6f saw her in a much better light last time out when winning at Hamilton and a mark in the mid 50's still looks workable.

Turned in one of his better efforts last time out when taking third behind Be Bold (runs in the first division of this) but he's never really one to rely on and others are preferred here.

Remains a maiden after 14 starts with his best efforts coming in sellers and he really has yet to show much at all this year in three runs.

Trainer in good form at the moment but this one will be harder to win with as he isn't one to trust and has run poorly on his last two starts after showing some ability when taking the runner-up spot over 7f at Musselburgh.

22/1
Now back with his former trainer after a period with Gary Moss he shaped better than his final position suggests last time over 7f at Wolverhampton (went off too hard). Only has one win to his name but may be capable of better in a weak race returned to sprint trips.

Forecasts

Yes You (13/8), Searanger (4/1), Whipphound (8/1), Mitchum (9/1), Etienne Gerard (12/1), Wilde Extravagance (12/1), Hamriyah (14/1), Fille The Force (20/1), Men United (22/1), Jess (22/1), Secret City (25/1), Melrose Girl (33/1), Jungle George (33/1), Mighty Bond (40/1), Lilly Ballerina (66/1)

Verdict

The second division of this sprint handicap and it looks slightly stronger than the first one with Searanger one of the likely types although he does face some improving types and handicap debutantes. Men United can hardly be called a serial winner but his latest runs suggest that he may well be a little better than he’s shown and this return to a sprint trip may well be the key to him. Jess ticked a few boxes on her return last time and enters the equation along with YES YOU who showed that she still had some progress left in her when winning last time out and may be able to follow-up here.
