4/1

Put a disappointing effort behind him when winning by 1L in a 7f maiden at Catterick (good-to-soft) last time out. Hails from a useful yard and is of interest on handicap debut.

7/1

Good third, beaten 3L in a 6f handicap at Nottingham (good-to-soft) on his penultimate start. Struggled at Leicester (7f, good) recently and likely capable of much better than he showed that day.

18/1

Promising 4L third over an extended 7f at Beverley (good-to-soft) when making his handicap debut two weeks ago. Races off the same mark here and is of interest for a top yard.

Form: 4603

My Havana²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-3| J: A Mullen| T: N Tinkler| OR: 57

33/1

Well held in four starts so far most recently when 10L seventh at Pontefract (6f, good) three weeks ago. Probably best watched on handicap debut.

50/1

Well beaten in all four starts to date including when sixth at Nottingham (6f, good-to-soft) on handicap debut last time out. Others hold stronger claims racing from out of the handicap.

Forecasts

We Owen A Dragon (5/2), Pentewan (7/2), Mischief Star (4/1), Little Ted (7/1), Hooroo (10/1), Ralphy Boy Two (14/1), Wots The Wifi Code (14/1), Sir Havelock (18/1), River of Kings (22/1), My Havana (33/1), Northern Grace (50/1)

WE OWEN A DRAGON is turned out quickly following a good second recently and racing off the same mark here he looks capable of registering a first career success in this competitive handicap event. Top weight Pentewan can register a fifth consecutive placed effort by finishing runner-up while third place can go to Mischief Star who is making his handicap debut having broke his maiden over this trip last time.
