Looking nicely handicapped now (last win came off 4lb higher), has a decent record at this track and shaped as if coming back into form at Doncaster on latest start. Drops in grade today too, and has plenty going for him.

Improving, winner of three of his last four and couldn't have done the job much easier at Kempton last week, quickening away for a 4½l win. Might not want the ground too soft but that aside, looks most progressive and a big chance here.

Have to go back to 2018 to find last win and although Newcastle reappearance last month had promise, he was well below that at Doncaster last time. Possible trip was too far there and this mile may suit, but a little to prve tonight.

Winner of a three-runner event on soft at Hamilton last year but hasn't really progressed from that, and slow start didn't help matters at Thirsk last time out. Likely conditions fine but others make a bit more appeal.

Found some form last August to win a couple and now back on a winning mark, and there are excuses for a couple of lesser efforts last month. Probably fine with a drop of rain and no surprise if he does better tonight.

Back to form when successful ay Haydock on latest start, gamely holding on in the finish for a neck win. Handicapper sensible with a 2lb rise, but overall strike rate of 3-24 means he's no good thing to follow that up.

14/1
Ran his race again when a close enough sixth at Thirsk last time out, but has ground to make up with Saisons D'Or on that run and bottom line is that he's not won a race since 2015, despite some good efforts since.

Won a couple of races in the winter of 2018 but had issues, and has only had two starts since those victories, not beating a horse home; readily held at Redcar a fortnight ago and can't be entertained in current mood.

25/1
Just one win in 15 starts for Jim Bolger in Ireland and was a bit below par on first start for MIck Appleby at Newmarket, particularly as ground looked in his favour. Could yet do better and rain a plus, but does need to improve a bit now.

Found some form once the ground turned on the soft side last autumn and did win one from a 3lb lower mark at Chester, but looked in need of another run or two after seasonal reappearance at Pontefract last month. Others preferred.

Winner on debut for Marco Botti back in 2018 but clearly had issues, only having been seen twice since then, and now has first start in over a year for new yard. On that, can only be watched today.

Trainer could offer no explanation (but was very well backed) after his Pontefract win (1m) last month, showing much improved form and is oly 2lb higher here. Declared to run at Pontefract on Tuesday.

11/1
One win in 14 starts (when with Sir Michael Stoute) but proving a bit expensive to follow now, beaten favourite two of last three; solid enough effort over 10½f at Haydock latest, cheekpieces now tried but may be playing for places again.

Forecasts

River Dawn (6/4), Global Spirit (9/2), Frankelio (11/2), Alfred Richardson (13/2), Saisons D'Or (10/1), Garden Oasis (11/1), Donncha (14/1), Tukhoom (18/1), Vocatus (25/1), Modakhar (25/1), Reeth (33/1), Confrontational (50/1), Hillwalker (80/1), Roma Bangkok (150/1)

Verdict

The two that make the most appeal are Saisons D'Or and top weight ALFRED RICHARDSON. The former comes here in good heart and is likely to give this a go from the front, but may have company in the shape of Reeth for that role. If he can shake him off early, he has chances, but Alfred Richardson has a good record when dropped to this grade and at a track he goes well at, can score again. River Dawn comes here at the top of his game and if handling the different conditions, holds a major chance. Tukhoom has valid excuses for a couple of poor recent efforts and could do better.
  1. Alfred Richardson
  2. Saisons D'Or
  3. River Dawn
