5/1

Followed a good run with a below-par one when eighteenth of 21 in handicap at York (6f, good) 38 days ago. Visor on 1st time and in with a shout if bouncing back.

Cairn Gorm^t¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Cieren Fallon| T: K P De Foy| OR: 91| D

7/2

10/3 and tongue strap on for 1st time, possibly needed the run on first start since leaving Mick Channon when fourth of 9 in 6f handicap at Windsor (good to firm) 16 days ago. Interesting from 2 lb lower with that under his belt.

Form: 36433-4

15/2

7/2, excuses when sixth of 8 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 11 days ago, not getting clear run. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Remains one to bear in mind.

Form: 780076

Mojomaker⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Tudhope| T: D Loughnane| OR: 87

3/1

Eighth of 11 in handicap (5/1) at York (7f, good to soft) 49 days ago. The ground was perhaps softer than ideal on that occasion, so it's possible he could bounce back.

Form: 54-4428

Forecasts

Mojomaker (3/1), Cairn Gorm (7/2), Pendleton (5/1), Rathbone (7/1), Snash (15/2), Aplomb (17/2), Total Commitment (17/2), Baba Reza (18/1)

CAIRN GORM is down to a good mark on the pick of his form, so he's put forward as the answer with his reappearance under his belt. Snash had excuses at Redcar last week and remains one to bear in mind having looked to be coming to the boil prior to that. Pendleton needs to bounce back from a poor below-par run at York but isn't ruled out if doing so.
