11/1

Winner in the mud at Pontefract (5f) last autumn. Made a sound return when second at Ayr (6f) but failed to repeat that effort at Hamilton (5f) last time. Bounce back needed and now markedly back up in trip (does have placed form over 1m).

Form: 4410-20

11/10

Back on the up with 1m Redcar win in April and shaped better than result when fifth of 13 over 1m at York since, having to wait for a gap and finishing with running left. Needs considering.

3/1

Ex-Irish gelding who gained a first win for his current yard in 1m handicap at Pontefract in April. Respectable fifth of 13 at Hamilton since and worth a look.

Form: 1-73315

Imperial Command²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-6| J: J F Egan| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 78| CD

7/1

Opened his account for 2022 at Newcastle in Feburary. and good second there next time. Yet to show he's as good on turf but has a lower mark to work with and this trip is more suitable than the 1¼m he ran over here last time.

Form: 4-25126

Forecasts

Lightening Company (11/10), What's The Story (11/4), Stately Home (3/1), Fame And Acclaim (5/1), Imperial Command (7/1), Cliffs Of Capri (7/1), Black Friday (11/1)

LIGHTENING COMPANY didn't enjoy the rub of the green at York last time and is well worth another chance as his profile is largely progressive. Stately Home could be the danger.
