Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Natalie Hambling⁽⁷⁾| T: N Wilson| OR: 68| BF| CD

20/1

Five time winner in a 51 race career and ran well when third in a seller at Catterick (good-to-firm) over this trip last time out. More needed returning to handicaps.

Form: 6-60443

Barkston Ash^p²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: Neil Farley| T: E J Alston| OR: 67| D

33/1

Disappointing for much of 2016 and well held on belated seasonal debut at Pontefract (6f, soft) earlier this month. Probably best watched at present.

Form: 55480-7

Market Choice²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Rodriguez⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 67| CD

7/1

Held on all five starts for this stable and handicap mark is falling as a result. Now rated 5lb lower than for his latest success.

Form: 0-66953

Extrasolar^t²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: P Makin| T: G A Harker| OR: 67| D

25/1

Disappointing since finishing runner-up over this trip at Catterick (good-to-firm) in May. Races off a 5lb lower mark today but needs to return to form if he's to take this.

Form: 832570

6/1

C&D winner under today's rider on good-to-soft ground earlier this month but held at Pontefract off this 2lb higher mark subsequently. Interesting to see how he fares here.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Connor Beasley| T: B Smart| OR: 66| CD

9/1

Successful twice already this season including on good-to-soft ground over this trip at Thirsk last time out. Races off a 4lb higher mark here and one to note in this contest.

Form: 3-41561

Semana Santa²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: B A Curtis| T: T D Barron| OR: 65| D

10/1

Just touched off in a seller at Thirsk (5f, good-to-firm) last month and a fair effort when fourth at Doncaster (good) over this trip last time out. Looking for her first handicap success today.

Willsy^b³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Gemma Tutty⁽⁵⁾| T: K Tutty| OR: 63| BF| D

11/1

Running well in the main of late but disappointed over 7f at Redcar (good-to-firm) on Saturday. Return to 6f should see him in a better light today.

Yes You⁶^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jamie Gormley⁽⁷⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 60| CD

11/4

Winner of three of her last four starts including when coming home a neck ahead of her rivals on good-to-soft ground over C&D last week. Carries a 6lb penalty for that success and one for the shortlist here.

Form: 231131

Ypres^p¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: K Stott| T: J Ward| OR: 61| CD

11/1

Victorious over C&D on good-to-firm ground last month and run respectably since most recently when third at Thirsk earlier this month. Interest off the same mark here.

Form: 034193

Mischief Managed^e/s¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 64

16/1

Finished fourth on all three starts in maiden company including over this trip on debut at Doncaster (good-to-soft). Worth a check in the market and open to improvement on handicap debut.

Form: 444

Lotara^p1¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Sean Mooney⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 52

16/1

Sole success came in an AW maiden over 5f at Newcastle last September. Gradually slipping down the weights but more needed with cheekpieces fitted for the first time.

Form: 040955

Age: 7| Weight: 8-6| J: R Ffrench| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 50| D

50/1

Victorious off a 7lb higher mark at Hamilton (good-to-soft) over this trip last September. Well beaten in recent starts and more needed here.

Forecasts

Yes You (11/4), Short Work (11/2), Cliff (6/1), Market Choice (7/1), Ki Ki (9/1), Semana Santa (10/1), Ypres (11/1), Willsy (11/1), Mischief Managed (16/1), Lotara (16/1), Manatee Bay (20/1), Extrasolar (25/1), Barkston Ash (33/1), Keene's Pointe (50/1)

In what looks a highly competitive sprint handicap victory can go the way of the penalised top weight SHORT WORK. A change of tactics appeared to help when making all at Pontefract recently and he can defy top weight in this at the chief expense of fellow penalised runner Yes You who was successful over this C&D last week. Of the remainder Ki Ki has won two of her last four starts including at Thirsk a month ago and is another worth considering in this.
