Saluti²⁰²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 90| CD

17/2

C&D winner who was in rude health during second half of 2021, career best when successful at Pontefract (5f) in September. Returns with yard amongst the winners and not ruled out from handy draw.

Ready Freddie Go¹⁷⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Harry Russell⁽³⁾| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 88| D

20/1

4-y-o who enjoyed a very productive 2021, landing his third Thirsk handicap (all at 5f) in September. Had excuses on account of the ground final 2 starts but his mark does demand a little more and drawn wider than ideal here.

Mid Winster¹⁸⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: G Lee| T: P T Midgley| OR: 85| D

7/2

Gained second victory for this yard at Doncaster (5f) in July and just as good in defeat thereafter, fifth in Ayr Silver Cup (6f) in September. Not disgraced final start and she ran well on return last spring. Not dismissed.

Show Yourself³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽³⁾| T: J Tate| OR: 84| CD

5/1

Built up an excellent record at this venue last season, career best to gain fourth C&D victory on final start in September. Looked in need of run (also poorly drawn) on return at Kempton in March and no surprise to see a much-improved showing here.

Form: 11101-5

Roundhay Park¹⁷²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Faye McManoman⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 84| CD

14/1

C&D winner who was quickly back to form when narrow winner at Chester (7f) in September. Heavy ground may not have suited ideally when fifth of 13 at Doncaster (7f) final start and interesting what the market makes of him here.

Soul Seeker¹⁹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 82| D

13/2

Landed back-to-back 5f handicaps at Hamilton/York in July prior to finishing seventh in Great St Wilfrid at Ripon. Never scaled same heights thereafter but has fallen 1 lb below last winning mark for return.

Ava Go Joe^p¹⁸⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 80| CD

13/2

C&D maiden winner who gained dew reward for consistency when landing a Nottingham handicap (6f) in September. Probably best excused final start at York in October and no forlorn hope on return to action.

Devil's Angel¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: P J McDonald| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 80| D

12/1

Built up a good strike rate last term and not disgraced when third on return at Newcastle (6f) in February. However, ran below form at Doncaster (6f) 17 days ago and mark does demand that little bit more.

Form: 1518-30

Ginger Jam^p¹⁵⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 79| CD

28/1

5-time C&D winner who enhanced his strike rate at Bath (5f) in September. Creditable efforts on 3 of his final 4 starts during the autumn and this sort of mark is workable if he's ready to roll on return to action.

Form: 415944-

Havagomecca¹⁹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 77| D

11/1

Three wins from 9 runs last year, latterly at Ascot (5f, firm) in July. Form rather tailed off thereafter, no threat at Redcar (5f) when last seen in October. Did score on return last year however, so another worth noting if strong in betting on seasonal bow.

Form: 131450-

Not On Your Nellie¹⁸⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-6| J: Sophie Clements⁽⁷⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 75| CD

50/1

C&D winner who proved she's on a workable mark when staying on for second at Nottingham (5f) in September. Never figured up in grade at York final start though and another with a wide draw to overcome.

Form: 629020-

Glorious Rio^b¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-5| J: Jonny Peate⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 74| D

15/2

Did well from a low base for this yard last year, scoring for fifth time at Newcastle (5f) in October. All the better for return when third back at that venue 16 days ago and refitted blinkers may put an extra edge on him.

Forecasts

Mid Winster (7/2), Sound Reason (4/1), Show Yourself (5/1), Ava Go Joe (13/2), Soul Seeker (13/2), Ey Up It's Maggie (7/1), Glorious Rio (15/2), Saluti (17/2), Havagomecca (11/1), Devil's Angel (12/1), Miss Nay Never (12/1), Roundhay Park (14/1), Hey Mr (16/1), Ready Freddie Go (20/1), Ginger Jam (28/1), Not On Your Nellie (50/1)

SOUND REASON progressed steadily as a 3-y-o last term, adding to his tally at Carlisle in August prior to going down narrowly behind Show Yourself over C&D having been left with a bit too much to do. Well drawn on return for his in-form yard, he could be the answer. Aforementioned Show Yourself should come on for her AW spin and is feared. Mid Winster and Ey Up It's Maggie complete the shortlist.
