6/4
Record of 1-26 and his best efforts have come at Thirsk. Moves up to a career high mark following a big run there on Saturday and there must be fears something is better treated.

Has enjoyed a lucrative spell on the AW but this extended trip on a slow surface are not his optimum conditions.

25/1
Has three victories on his CV and all were gained on quicker surfaces than can be expected here. Stable going well but he makes little appeal under an inexperienced rider.

11/2
Landed two races last year and is below those winning marks. Will be straighter for last week's return but he has almost 13L to find with Hadley.

Well beaten on stable debut and then got loose at Thirsk last weekend before being withdrawn. One to be wary of at present.

Landed a poor race at Newcastle during the winter under this rider. Well beaten on both starts when encountering a soft surface.

5/1
Her last two wins have come off a mark 46. Handles the conditions and she shaped well in Jersey a week ago. Has to enter calculations at this level.

Coral Caye9

9/2
Has some form on slow surfaces that give her a squeak although her speed figures are poor. Jockey booking is a positive and she will be fitter for her comeback run.

36-race maiden who has flattered to deceive in the past and probably did so again when a staying on fourth at Yarmouth last Tuesday.

Forecasts

Hadley (6/4), Coral Caye (9/2), Lady Joanna Vassa (5/1), Racquet (11/2), Little Miss Lola (12/1), Roy's Legacy (14/1), Sunnyside Bob (16/1), Celerity (25/1), Compton River (25/1), Yorkshire Rover (33/1)

Verdict

Few of these carry a risk-fee profile and Hadley looks the obvious choice on last week's Thirsk run. Racquet and Coral Caye have each-way prospects but this could be a good time to catch LADY JOANNA VASSA who handles the conditions, is 1lb above her last winning mark and is fit from a run in Jersey last week.
  1. Lady Joanna Vassa
  2. Hadley
  3. Coral Caye
