C&D winner but it is now 21 runs since he passed the post in front and he looked well below form last time over 6f here. Wasn't ideally placed on that occasion but not one to be making too many excuses for even off a falling mark.
Still to record a success in this country and only has one win to her name overall. Fared poorly after a three-month break last time over 6f here; mark continues to fall but she doesn't appear to be in the sort of form to cash in at the moment.
Three-time course winner with a couple of victories to his name over this trip. Not quite found his spark in three runs for this stable although his mark continues to fall and he has proved capable off higher in the past; hard to totally write off.
Record looks a rather patchy one and he's never as yet won in handicap company. Not disgraced on Fibresand last time out and he is operating off a falling mark but doesn't have the look of a consistent performer.
Not seen since the summer when he ran well below form in a similar event at Ayr in first-time cheekpieces. Mark continues to fall but still hasn't won for this yard and can't be totally relied on although the break may have freshened him up.
Took a step in the right direction on his debut here over 6f from a tumbling mark back in November but failed to build on that run over 7f at Newcastle when last seen. Drops to a career-low mark and not easily written off on his return here over 7f.
Course winner here back in 2014 over 6f he's 0-8 at 7f and hasn't been seen over this trip for quite some while. Ran respectably in this headgear last time out over 6f here; mark gives him a chance but the trip remains a negative.
Came back to life from out of the blue when winning at Newcastle (7f) last month taking advantage of a career-low mark and being able to make all. Not in the same form here last time dropped back to 6f; overall record is more miss than hit.
More lightly-raced than all of these she makes her handicap debut dropping to the shortest trip that she's tried so far. Neither run here has been particularly inspiring but she's in good hands and improved display wouldn't be out of the question.
Has a dismal career record that reads 0-21 with all his runs for this yard resulting in sound beatings. Hard to see him getting involved here and not one who enters final calculations.
Like a few in this race yet to get off the mark despite multiple attempts to do so in her case 18 so far. Fared no better than before in first-time blinkers over 6f here last time and not hard to pass her by given her form so far.
Forecasts
Bernie's Boy (3/1), Dream Mount (7/2), Watheer (6/1), Dodgy Bob (6/1), Billyoakes (7/1), Air Of York (8/1), Milton Road (16/1), Bescaby (28/1), No More Regrets (40/1), Peters Pudding (40/1), Tintern Spirit (150/1)
This doesn’t look quite a strong as the first division but there are one or two that appeal in what is a trappy contest. WATHEER may be suited by a return here after shaping nicely over a furlong shorter on his penultimate start. In order to support him you have to ignore the latest run but consistency isn’t the strong point of this bunch. Air Of York is the type who could spring back to life in something like this off what is a friendly mark and the same could be said of Milton Road; he may well have benefitted from a break. If there is one to watch in the market then its handicap debutant Becaby she looks as though she will be suited by low-grade handicaps.
- Watheer
- Air Of York
- Milton Road
