4/1

Runner-up in a Thirsk seller in July and was having his first run since when well held over 7f at Redcar recently. Return to this distance should suit and he should strip fitter. Cheekpieces fitted for the first time.

Forecasts

Bee Machine (11/8), Clergyman (4/1), Ingleby Molly (7/1), Imperial Legend (9/1), Ticks The Boxes (9/1), Cape Hill Cotter (12/1), Cardaw Lily (14/1), Going Native (16/1), Moremoneymoreparty (20/1), Perfect Words (25/1), Sirius Move (40/1), Isabella Ruby (66/1)

Imperial Legend boasts the best recent form, but this step up in trip is not ideal so the vote goes to top-weight CLERGYMAN, who should strip fitter for his recent outing and returns to his optimum trip in first-time cheekpieces. Cases can also be made for Cape Hill Cotter and Cardaw Lily, but neither boast convincing profiles.
