6/4
Made all when a ready 8L winner (11-8f) of a Newcastle maiden (heavy) on Fighting Fifth Day; ran far better than the bare finishing positions imply on handicap debut at Ffos Las (2m); first start since wind surgery.

Diodorus14
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-1| J: Harry Reed(3)| T: T Davidson
5/1
72-rated on the Flat (1-20), ending his days on the level with Karen McLintock; 9-2, but was never any match for the ready winner Sao Maxence on hurdles/stable debut at Carlisle (2m1f maiden, soft) a fortnight ago.

Mcgarry25
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-1| J: Thomas Dowson| T: P A Kirby
16/1
Winning pointer (for Neil McKnight); ran a fair race on his final start for Henry Oliver at Haydock (2m, soft) when finishing 7L fifth to Ebony Jewel; relatively low-key on recent debut for Phil Kirby; consult the market for advice.

Young Lieutenant35
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-1| J: R Johnson| T: W Greatrex| OR:  127
5/4
Has by far and away the best single piece of form on offer (runner-up at Newbury in November) but hasn't progressed since then, and was turned over at odds of 4-9f on his penultimate start; has the champion jockey aboard, so that's a positive angle.

Ella Nutrargileh1191
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-8| J: J Kington| T: S G West
200/1
Raced keenly and fell at the fourth flight on hurdles debut (100-1) at Cartmel last August; off since; returns in newly applied headgear which may or may not help her settle; others are far more obvious.

Forecasts

Young Lieutenant (5/4), Thor De Cerisy (6/4), Diodorus (5/1), Mcgarry (16/1), Ella Nutrargile (200/1)

Verdict

Young Lieutenant has by head and shoulders the best single piece of form on offer, but it's acknowledged that he's been far more laboured in defeat since and therefore makes little appeal at the projected odds. Meanwhile, Mcgarry undoubtedly possesses some ability and should be monitored for signs of market support for connections who are well-known for having a tilt in the betting ring. However, the selection is the penalised Newcastle scorer THOR DE CERISY. Michael Scudamore's charge will have no problems with the testing underfoot conditions and ran a better race than the bare finishing positions imply on handicap debut at Ffos Las.
  1. Thor De Cerisy
  2. Young Lieutenant
  3. Mcgarry
