12/1

Former C&D winner, comes here having finished second at Southwell on his previous outing, capable of having an off-day too, but can't discount.

Won here over 6f in December and generally consistent since on the AW over 5f/6f trips. Poor effort switched to turf recently at Thirsk, must bounce back.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: T Eaves| T: Suzzanne France| OR: 50| D

10/1

Out of form for over a year now including in five starts for this yard. Well handicapped as a result but others make more appeal.

Monsieur Mel^h²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 48

9/1

Two recent runs over this C&D and at Wolverhampton since dropping to minimum trip have been promising in the context of this race. Can get involved in shake-up.

16/1

Three-time C&D winner has been well held in succession of outings since winning here in January off this mark. Return here might perk him up.

Fintry Flyer^p⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Barry McHugh| T: J S Goldie| OR: 45

Forecasts

Star Cracker (4/1), Hisar (4/1), Who Told Jo Jo (11/2), Fuel Injection (7/1), Fintry Flyer (7/1), Monsieur Mel (9/1), Fly True (10/1), Groundworker (12/1), Novabridge (16/1), Griffin Street (33/1), Digital Revolution (40/1)

WHO TOLD JO JO was a convincing scorer at Yarmouth last week and, whilst carrying a penalty, isn’t be any stretch overburdened from this mark. He can strike again under Jack Mitchell. Fintry Flyer has knocked on the door at this sort of level on the AW lately and should do so again while Groundworker and Monsieur Mel can fight for the places.
