5/2

Tongue strap on first time, didn't need to improve to win 7-runner novice at Cartmel (17f, good to soft, 6/4) 31 days ago, keeping on well. A bit more will be needed to follow up back in handicap.

Form: 212-471

Returned to form back from a break when runner-up over C&D in April. Also a good second at Cartmel in June but has run a couple of lesser races there since.

Kajaki^p¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N G Richards| OR: 114| D

9/4

Dual hurdles winner for Kevin Ryan in 2018. Yet to win a handicap but has posted plenty of solid efforts, although his latest well-held third over C&D wasn't one of them.

Form: 6042-43

For Three^p²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: B S Hughes| T: J Ewart| OR: 108| CD

7/4

Snapped a losing run going back over 2 years when responding well to first-time cheekpieces to see off 6 rivals over C&D 27 days ago. Raised 4 lb but he did win off a higher mark in 2019. Big player.
