Horse A-Z
1
Horse silk
Solid Strikep56
Age: 12|  Weight: 11-12| J: Henry Brooke| T: Paul Collins| OR:  100| CD
Veteran who won over C&D in this contest 12 months ago off a similar mark, beating seven rivals 4L. A little out of form of late but no surprise to see improved effort.
2
Horse silk
Mymilanp138
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-11| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson| OR:  99| BF
Winner on chasing debut in a Carlisle handicap in December off a 10lb lower mark. Beaten since but likely to go well in first-time cheekpieces.
3
Horse silk
Knocknamona41
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-4| J: Alain Cawley| T: Micky Hammond| OR:  92| D
Out of sorts so far this season, which has seen him slip to a very handy mark. Unseated at the first on latest start at Catterick when last seen in January. In the right hands to spark improvement.
Signs of ability in point-to-point races last spring but has struggled in maiden hurdle contests since switched to Rules racing. Worth a check in the market representing a yard who usually target this meeting.
5
Horse silk
Cavalry Scoutp,t28
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-0| J: Ross Chapman| T: Laura Morgan| OR:  88| D
Off the mark for connections at the fourth time of asking over fences when landing a Leicester 2m4f handicap on heavy ground last month off a 7lb lower mark. Another bold bid on the cards.
6
Horse silk
Farran Dancer21
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-7| J: Dale Irving(3)| T: R M Smith| OR:  81
Nothing to suggest the gelding will be winning anytime soon in a number of laboured efforts since the turn of the year. Profile suggests that he is worth taking on again.
7
Horse silk
Soryp21
Age: 13|  Weight: 10-0| J: Callum Bewley| T: Miss T Jackson| OR:  70
Veteran. No disgrace in his recent finishing positions but the gelding has been beaten at least 13L on each of his four starts since the turn of the year.

Verdict

Winner of this contest 12 months ago SOLID STRIKE can land the spoils again following a decent effort at Market Rasen in January. The veteran can go well under significant jockey booking, Henry Brooke and get the better of the well-fancied Cavalry Scout, for trainer Laura Mongan, who got off the mark for connections at the fourth time of asking over fences when landing a Leicester 2m4f handicap on heavy ground last month off a 7lb lower mark. Mymilan in first-time cheekpieces was never travelling on his latest start when pulling up at Carlisle last month and is clearly better than that effort suggests.
