Some decent efforts in 2017 most notably when finishing third over 1m at Haydock (good-to-soft) in August. Unraced since finishing seventh over this trip on the AW at Newcastle in September and fitted with a hood for the first time today.

Nine race maiden but ran well to finish 1L third over 5f at Dundalk in November. Fair effort over the same distance in first time cheekpieces (absent today) and step up in trip not certain to suit.

12 race maiden though ran well to finish 1L second off this mark over 1m at Lingfield on his debut for this stable last week. Attempted to make all on that occasion and one to note in this contest.

Dual winner in Ireland but held in recent starts including over 1m at Dundalk last month. Drop in trip likely to suit on this occasion.

Four time winner but out of form of late. Won off a 12lb higher mark over an extended 1m here 12 months ago. Worth a check in the market today.

20 race maiden including in eight starts since joining this stable. Fair effort despite beating just one rival home over C&D last time out and interesting to see how he fares today.

Sole success came in a Class 7 over C&D over three years ago. Well held on her return from a break over 6f here recently and has a wide draw to overcome in addition to racing from out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Spare Parts (5/2), Bush Beauty (10/3), Billyfairplay (5/1), Three Majors (8/1), Sir Lancelott (14/1), Rising Sunshine (14/1), Sunnyside Bob (14/1), Tilsworth Lukey (14/1), Daydream (14/1), Tess Graham (25/1), Nifty Niece (25/1), Spoken Words (25/1)

Verdict

This drop in trip can see SPARE PARTS get off the mark at the second time of asking for trainer Phil McEntee. The selection placed having attempted to make all over a furlong further last time out and can get the better of his rivals here with top weight Bush Beauty capable of claiming second in the first time hood. Of the remainder the maiden Sunnyside Bob ran better than the bare result suggests last time and he can finish third in this contest.
