3/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1, excellent second of 15 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago, just failing. Every chance he comes on for that run and looks the one to beat.

6/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 9-runner handicap (5/1) at Catterick (6f, good) 9 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Has to be considered under penalty.

Forecasts

Cometh The Man (3/1), Ooh Is It (9/2), Run Forrest Run (11/2), Nodsasgoodasawink (6/1), Accrington Stanley (7/1), Outcast (17/2), Isabella Swan (11/1), Moonshiner (12/1), Greycious Girl (14/1), Mid Day Rush (16/1)

COMETH THE MAN ran a huge race on seasonal reappearance at Redcar last time in a competitive handicap. There is every chance he can come on for that run and he looks the one to beat here. Ooh Is It may improve now he is in handicaps and has to be respected. Outcast is a filly that has done little wrong this year and she shouldn't be far away.
