Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 61| BF| D

7/2

Step back in the right direction when third at this course (8f) last month. Possibly found race coming too soon when below that level at Musselburgh since and must enter calculations.

20/1

Ended last year with back-to back victories at Wolverhampton (both 7.2f) and posted good fourth over same C&D when last seen in January. Returns on a workable mark and not taken lightly.

14/1

Below form sixth of 12 in handicap (10/1) at this C&D (good) 28 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Others more persuasive.

4/7

Cheekpieces on for first time, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm, 4/1) 4 days ago, digging deep. 5 lb penalty to carry now but bold follow-up bid anticipated.

Forecasts

Motawaazy (4/7), Tukhoom (7/2), Lagenda (10/1), Lofty (10/1), Mi Capricho (14/1), Jack Ryan (16/1), Trevie Fountain (20/1), Cole Noir (66/1), The Mackem Torpedo (66/1), Lucky Violet (80/1), Joyful Star (80/1), Clarity Bay (125/1), Jessie Allan (150/1), Griffin Street (150/1)

MOTAWAAZY built on his promising debut for Michael Dods when scoring at Catterick last week and remains low mileage. He can follow up. Tukhoom and Trevie Fountain look the likeliest dangers.
