Finished fast from a seemingly impossible position when winning at Newcastle in January, but below form since, and this gelding tends to race in snatches these days. Risky.

Regressive since showing smart form as a juvenile. Showed a bit on stable debut at Chelmsford, but ran badly at Ripon last time, and hard to make a case for him at present.

Won back-to-back races last summer on turf/AW, but not shown much at all this season, and best watched until offering a bit more.

Won at Wolverhampton, Beverley, and twice at Chester in 2019. Ended season with a poor run, but that's easy to forgive, and claims if fully wound up for return.

Put a disappointing effort over 7f behind him when finishing runner-up in a 6f handicap at Southwell in February. Not discredited when fourth at Kempton last month, but more required back on turf.

Below best over C&D on penultimate start, but ran better when fourth of 13 to Magical Effect at Thirsk four days ago. Claims if this doesn't come too soon.

Victorious on good-to-soft ground at Redcar (7f) just over a year ago but has struggled in the main since including when well beaten on stable debut over 1m at Kempton earlier this month. Others make more appeal.

Can flatter to deceive, but took advantage of a generous mark when winning a 7f handicap at Doncaster a week ago. Still well treated, but he's not certain to be in the same form this time.

Won at Wolverhampton in January and similar form when placed in two of three starts since. Travelled well in a visor last time, and equally effective on turf, so not taken lightly.

Forecasts

Bertog (5/2), Zip (10/3), Bell Heather (5/1), Tranchee (5/1), Medicine Jack (6/1), Leo Davinci (9/1), Private Matter (10/1), Lapidary (16/1), Gabrial The Tiger (22/1), Reckless Endeavour (33/1)

Verdict

BELL HEATHER has looked moody in the past, but is doing nothing wrong at present, and she was better than the bare result when third at Wolverhampton last time. She is preferred to Bertog, who won well at Doncaster, but isn't always the most generous when the chips are down. Zip ran pretty well on Monday at Thirsk, and can go well if building on that.
