Recorded a useful effort on the clock when making his second start a winning one at Southwell (6f) in March. Well held on turf/handicap debut at Newmarket earlier this month but it's very early days.

Just respectable efforts since leaving Mrs J. Harrington, again a bit too keen to get on with things when fifth at Beverley last month. Headgear back on and a step forward needed to take this.

Two wins from 4 runs last year but has shown little on both starts this term, failing to stay the longer trip when last of 7 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Others preferred.

Won on debut in July and posted several creditable efforts in defeat thereafter. However, ran poorly after 7 months off at York earlier this month and needs some respite from the assessor.

Runner-up in a couple of novices before readily opening his account in a maiden at Newcastle in October. Good third after 6 months off on handicap bow at Epsom last month so can build on that here.

Off the mark on his second start at Wolverhampton in December and ran respectably upped markedly in grade when fourth of 11 in handicap (28/1) at York (7f, good) 17 days ago. More needed.

Fair form when placed both starts at 2 yrs and left that form behind to make a winning return sporting first-time blinkers in 12-runner maiden at Thirsk 4 weeks ago. Leading claims on handicap debut.

9/2
Fairly useful performer who landed the odds in a 7f Kempton novice in January. Soon back to form when third of 7 in handicap at Chester but doesn't look likely to live up to his price tag or pedigree.

Wolverhampton scorer in October. Surprisingly strong in the betting, failed to meet expectations when fourth at same course back in January. Gelded since and step forward required to feature.

Forecasts

Il Bandito (11/4), Elvrika (11/4), Melody Of Life (9/2), If You Dare (8/1), Sadiqaa (9/1), Elakazaam (10/1), Riffaa Wonder (16/1), Street Kid (18/1), Falcon Brook (25/1)

Verdict

ELVRIKA left previous efforts behind to get off the mark sporting first-time blinkers on reappearance in a Thirsk maiden 4 weeks ago. An opening mark of 77 could be a touch lenient and she's taken to follow up. Il Bandito made an encouraging return/handicap debut when third at Epsom last month so gets the vote to chase the selection home, ahead of If You Dare.
