Ran below his best when given his debut in handicaps last time having previously been placed in novice company. Hard to blame the ground for that failure as he had run on it before showing ability on both occasions; worth another chance.

Has looked rather laboured of late and not in the form that he has shown before. The handicapper is starting to relent but it may take a bit more than that to see him back to form.

6/1
Has a mark that demands a bit more but didn't run too badly on his handicap debut over an inadequate 2m. Dropped a couple of pounds for that effort and up in trip he might show a little more here.

9/4
The jockey booking takes the eye as does the addition of cheekpieces for this one who has shown some decent form in the past. His third at Down Royal recently showed that he still had ability and he looks well treated if he can build on that run.

7/2
Has put together some consistent efforts in handicaps as well as being a surprise winner of a novice hurdle at Hexham. Turned in another creditable effort yesterday when 4th here over 2m and should again run his race.

Her bumper form showed that she had ability (placed three times) but she's made little impact over hurdles including on her handicap debut.

Looks a limited sort who has made very little impression in three starts this season after a long absence. Suffered a breathing problem last time and easily passed over here.

Spent a long time off and no reappears for a new yard having shown very little and hard to recommend in this.

Little in the way of form under Rules when trained in Ireland although he did win a point-to-point. His firm in two runs for his new yard hasn't shown any improvement though and he looks limited; cheekpieces go on for first time.

Forecasts

Mill Forge (9/4), Pc Dixon (7/2), Glingerside (11/2), Silk Or Scarlet (6/1), Craiganboy (7/1), Le Frank (17/2), Rose Tree (11/1), Herecomesnelson (14/1), Rinnagree Rosie (16/1), Book Of Love (25/1), Zambezi Tiger (50/1)

Verdict

The picture is rather complicated here by the presence of a couple of runners that were in action here yesterday but assuming they don’t run again this looks a good opportunity for MILL FORGE to build on his run last time and resume winning ways. Silk Or Scarlet should be suited by this increased trip and even though his mark looks stiff this is still a weak contest. Le Frank disappointed on his handicap debut it’s hard to write him off having only had a few runs so far.
