Not the most reliable, but he's good on a going day and was just touched off at Thirsk (6f) on penultimate run. Ran well from a wide stall here last week and is drawn much more favourably this time.

Dual winner at 2, including over C&D. Ran okay on return at York but turned in a lacklustre effort at Pontefract last week.

Confirmed he's back in some form again in first-time blinkers when sixth in 11-runner contest (7.2f) at Wolverhampton last week, despite failing to see his race out. Well worth another try at 6f.

Won for the fourth time around here off 2 lb higher in June 2019, but has yet to get going this season and looked a hard ride when well held back here last time.

Made no mistakes in landing the odds in a weak race at Southwell on second start in November. Well placed to follow up in similar event there last time and could have more to offer now handicapping.

Proved ideally served by a well-run 6f when making a winning return at Catterick in July, but wasn't in the same form from a 3 lb higher mark back there 16 days ago. Back up in trip.

Confirmed previous promise when opening account in novice company at Ayr in July. Has shaped well in a pair of good sprint handicaps the last twice, so very much one to consider.

Clearly acts well round here (form figures at Chester last season read 1122), but hasn't gone on as hoped in 2020, failing to beat a rival home back in handicap here last week.

Hit the frame at Hamilton on first 2 outings for this stable and was possibly unsuited by conditions (best on softer ground) when well held at York last time. Cheekpieces back on.

Successful at Chepstow in June and ran one of his better races when fourth of 13 in handicap back there 5 days ago, but this is a stronger affair.

Forecasts

Bossipop (13/8), Penwortham (4/1), Sound Of Iona (10/1), Peachey Carnehan (10/1), Yolo Again (11/1), Stone Soldier (12/1), Sommer Katze (14/1), Canford's Joy (16/1), Red Pike (18/1), Luxor (22/1), Know No Limits (33/1), Oberyn Martell (66/1)

Verdict

BOSSIPOP is better drawn to attack this time, so he's taken to gain a second win of the campaign. Sound of Iona has been shaping up well recently and is feared most ahead of 4-time course winner Penwortham, who pulled his chance away here 10 days ago.

  1. BOSSIPOP
  2. SOUND OF IONA
  3. PENWORTHAM (IRE)
