First race in two years today. Always loved it here and especially over this trip but shouldering top-weight after such an absence makes him hard to fancy.

Hardly prolific in his career but won twice in a busy 2017. Generally seemed better at 1m2f in his time but won over 1m4f at Beverley in August. Clipped heels and fell latest. Hopefully not dented confidence.

Veteran beaten out of sight in all fours starts in 2017. Below last winning mark now but yet to beat a rival this season so unlikely to take advantage of latest drop.

Not seen since May so presumably had issues. Showed promise in first start this season when upped to 1m4f on the AW before trying 1m6f at Redcar (sixth of 12). Best probably yet to come but fitness taken on trust here.

Found life tough since latest win at Thirsk in June. Beaten 61L when last seen two months ago so presumably lame after that. Still looks high enough in the handicaps particularly after such a layoff.

Ran comfortably her best race of the season upped 4f last time on deep ground at Carlisle. Upped by another 1½f here and 2lb higher but potentially well handicapped and trainer does well here.

Just the two wins from 34 career starts and the latest came in June 2016. Handicap steadily creeping down but little evidence she is ready to take advantage.

Back to last winning mark but not seen since August 2016 and changed hands since. Looked a non-stayer in lone try over 1m4f and few that leave Mark Johnston stay further.

Not won this season although ran one of his better races when second at Beverley latest. Down 1lb he looks close to a winning mark but has always looked a doubtful stayer beyond 1m2f.

Veteran is effective up to 1m6f and ran one of better races here over that trip latest when third of 13. Dropped another 3lb today so not ruled out despite two year losing run.

Beaten over 15L in all four starts so far. Started in a 2m bumper but subsequently ran over shorter on flat. Relatively unexposed but leap of faith to fancy him.

Running for third different trainer and tried distances from 1m2f to 2m, AW and turf and over hurdles, all without success. Well beaten in all four starts this season and been 100/1 three times.

Maiden ran improved race when stepped back to 1m2f at Beverley latest finishing second of 14. Looked a doubtful stayer over this sort of distance before although top connections rarely get it wrong.

Age: 3|  Weight: 8-4| J: J Fanning| T: K Dalgleish| OR:  46

Beaten 15L plus in all three starts to date. No evidence to recommend on form but booking of leading jockey intriguing. Market support would be interesting.

Forecasts

Dirty Randy (7/2), Inspector Norse (9/2), Royal Icon (5/1), Good Man (7/1), Royal Cosmic (8/1), Dyna Might (10/1), Schmooze (11/1), Sakhalin Star (20/1), Biba (22/1), Titus Bolt (33/1), Togetherwecan (33/1), Fillydelphia (40/1), Ferngrove (50/1), Galilee Chapel (50/1)

Verdict

The dramatically improved effort of ROYAL ICON latest reads well here and providing she handles a further step up in trip she has leading claims. Despite a layoff Dirty Randy can go well. He is still unexposed and open to improvement which few of his rivals suggest. Inspector Norse looks on a winning mark now but nagging doubts remain over his effectiveness over this trip.
