5/2

Winless since early 2020 but posted 2 good runner-up efforts at Haydock (3m) on joining this yard and freshened up since a lesser run there in February. Needs considering for yard which does so well here.

Form: 827/225-

Nora The Xplorer^p²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Theo Gillard⁽³⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 111

5/1

Pair of novice wins at up to 3m to start of 2022. Creditable fourth of 8 in 21f Warwick handicap 4 weeks ago. Steps back up in trip now. Likely to be in the mix.

Form: 3/1215-4

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 104| CD

6/4

C&D winner last June. Arrives on the back of creditable placed efforts over hurdles/on Flat this spring. Stable won the race last year. Plenty of reasons to think a bold show likely.

Form: 334362-

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 103

10/1

Winner of 2½m Hexham handicap off 4 lb higher last autumn. Respectable fifth of 10 at Ayr (20.5f) 4 weeks ago and well handicapped if able to build on that.

Form: 24674-5

Jessiemac^t²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Thomas Willmott⁽³⁾| T: I A Duncan| OR: 102| CD

5/1

Thorough stayer who needed every yard to score at Catterick (25f) in January. Back to form when second over 3m at Ayr (3m) 4 weeks ago. Former C&D winner and another who can't be discounted.

Form: 51255-2

Beautiful Mix⁶⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-2| J: Jack Hogan⁽⁷⁾| T: N Mechie| OR: 78

150/1

Modest second on bumper debut back in 2016 and well held on completed start in maiden/novice hurdles since returning from long absence. Miles out of the handicap.

Form: 2/U6P-

Forecasts

LIFFEYDALE DREAMER has been in good form this spring and might be up to resuming winning ways returned to the scene of her last success. Tokyo Getaway's Haydock runner-up efforts at the turn of the year read well and she'll be a threat if as effective under what are likely to be quicker ground conditions this afternoon. Nora The Xplorer is also respected for the Donald McCain team.
