14/1

Decent efforts in two starts at two including when 9L third over 1m at Thirsk (good) last August. Well beaten on seasonal debut last month and market support would be notable on handicap debut.

9/2

Good 1L fourth over 7f at Musselburgh (good-to-firm) on seasonal debut early last month. Struggled on soft ground upped to 1m at Haydock subsequently and better ground forecast here is in his favour.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Hart| T: I Furtado| OR: 59| BF

7/4

Career best effort when placing second, beaten ¾L over this C&D last time out. Previously a good fourth at Newcastel (1m) and is one for the shortlist despite a 3lb rise in the weights.

Forecasts

Hector's Here (7/4), Macs Blessings (9/2), Call Him Al (9/2), Geography Teacher (6/1), Fitzy (11/1), Brutalab (14/1), Bumbledom (14/1), George's Law (14/1), Delectable (16/1), Bumblekite (33/1), Dragons Will Rise (40/1), Secret Magic (50/1), Northern Footsteps (66/1), Opera Kiss (100/1)

MACS BLESSINGS has a decent draw here and he can build on a promising third last time out with a victory in this big field three-year-old handicap. The selection can get the better of last time out winner Hector's Hare who can take second sot ahead of Geography Teacher who was a winner at Southwell earlier this week.
