On a long losing run but he's run well to be placed the last twice, splitting subsequent winners (first very promising) here over 2m last month. His turn will come again while he continues in form.

Three-time winning chaser in 2019/2020. Has shaped as if retaining ability both starts back this term, albeit falling when held back over fences (well backed) at Wetherby on Boxing Day.

Form: 2/431-4F

East Street⁵⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Ryan Mania| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 108

7/2

Made a winning Rules debut in 2m Wetherby novice in November and ran well behind a thriving rival at Newcastle 10 weeks ago, still looking green. More to come now handicapping up in trip.

Form: 9-212

Rukwa³⁰³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 108

18/1

In top form when last seen in April, scoring at Huntingdon and Bangor over similar trips. This is tougher on return but he could hit the ground running.

Form: 872211-

Frightened Rabbit⁸⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-3| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 106

33/1

Good record at Cartmel. Rare poor effort when unable to get to the front at Hexham when last seen 12 weeks ago and this looks tough.

Form: 313249

Busy Street¹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: Sean Quinlan| T: G Boanas| OR: 104

20/1

Formerly useful on the Flat and won a pair of jumpers' bumpers early last year. Ticking over on the Flat and been given a chance in the weights back in this sphere (just his fifth go).

Form: 331418-

Falco Du Sauzay^t1³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-4| J: Jonathan Moore| T: A McCann| OR: 93

18/1

Unreliable maiden in Ireland. Couple of good runs in handicaps last year but tame effort latest and has moved yards again. Tongue tie goes on.

Form: 0R274P

Shoughall's Boy⁶⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Thomas Willmott⁽⁵⁾| T: H Graham & G Rutherford| OR: 90

16/5

Arrives on a hat-trick after back-to-back wins in 20f Hexham handicaps. Up another 5 lb but latest form looks good and he's still low-mileage from a handicapping perspective. Well worth a look.

Form: 547-P11

Forecasts

Shoughall's Boy (16/5), East Street (7/2), Inishbiggle (9/2), Sayar (11/2), Sheriff Garrett (10/1), Quest For Life (18/1), Falco Du Sauzay (18/1), Rukwa (18/1), Twotwothree (20/1), Busy Street (20/1), Frightened Rabbit (33/1), Lovely Moon (40/1)

There is more to come from EAST STREET now he goes handicapping stepped up in trip and he could be the way to go here. The thriving Shoughall's Boy and Inishbiggle are just a couple of others to consider in a lively contest.
