Went off the boil after winning a Southwell maiden/C&D handicap early last season. May have benefited from a break but his yard remains quiet.

Pontefract winner in October who wasn't disgraced bidding to follow up from 6 lb higher at Newcastle later that month. Ran well on her reappearance last season and could do the same this time around as a sprinter. Respected.

Doubled her tally at Pontefract in October. Failed to match that form when only fourth of 10 in 6f handicap at Catterick (soft) on final start, but not ruled out on this return to action.

8/1, excuses when 18¾ lengths seventh of 11 to Yukon Mission in handicap at Pontefract (6f, heavy), doing too much too soon. Off 173 days and yard still fairly quiet.

Twenty one runs since last win in 2019. Creditable second of 12 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, heavy, 2/1), helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Off 173 days but could figure returning from same mark.

Eleven runs since last win in 2021, but wasn't seen to best effect when seventh of 11 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 45 days ago, left poorly placed. Not one to write off.

Forecasts

Barney's Bay (9/2), Dream Together (5/1), Prince Of Bel Lir (5/1), Yukon Mission (15/2), Stallone (8/1), True Mason (9/1), Run This Way (11/1), Seas Of Elzaam (14/1), Kraken Power (16/1), As If By Chance (22/1), Le Cheval Rapide (22/1), After John (28/1), John Kirkup (33/1), Impeller (40/1)

Verdict

RUN THIS WAY is still unexposed as a sprinter, and having gone well fresh before, she looks to have a fair bit going for her in a competitive heat. Seas of Elzaam wasn't seen to best effect at Kempton last time and is not one to write off, while Dream Together is another fancied to feature now returning to 6f.

  1. Run This Way11/1
  2. Seas Of Elzaam14/1
  3. Dream Together5/1
