Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Danny Brock| T: Martin Smith| OR: 70

100/1

Has one standout effort (fair form) when third in a Lingfield maiden in January but both subsequent efforts have been pretty dismal.

Form: 0-340

Akkeringa^t¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: S C Williams| OR: 70| BF

6/5

Upped his form when second of 9 in maiden at Yarmouth, form that's backed up by the time, and every chance the race came too soon when disappointing in a handicap there next time. Worth another chance

Form: 0-3523

Northbound²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Hart| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 69

17/2

Winner for Hugo Palmer last June but down the field on both outings for current yard this season. Hard to make a case for despite sliding mark.

Form: 7777-98

16/5

Thriving at present and produced another big effort when second bidding for a hat-trick at Thirsk 10 days ago. Looks sure to remain competitive in current mood.

Kevin The Minion²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Elle-May Croot⁽⁷⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 65

40/1

Well exposed and hasn't offered much on either start for current stable. Others are more appealing.

Symbol of Hope²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: T D Easterby| OR: 65

Promise under considerate handling first three runs, so not one to write off despite and underwhelming handicap debut at Redcar 27 days ago.

Form: 9-430

Liberty Blaze¹⁹

Has looked limited so far and makes little appeal for all the step up in trip might well suit.

Form: 66-904

Upside Down^b⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 51

AKKERINGA looks well treated based on his second at Yarmouth on penultimate outing and can be forgiven a lesser effort in different conditions (7f, good to soft) there next time. As such he's fancied to get off the mark at the likely expense of Tamaska, who found only one too good in his hat-trick bid at Thirsk recently.
