7/4

Fairly useful performer at best but has shown little this year, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, soft) 87 days ago. Interesting to see any market support back from a break with James Doyle up.

Tongue strap on for 1st time, off the mark in 11-runner handicap at this C&D (3/1) 15 days ago, just holding on from fast-finishing second who had blown the start (won at Thirsk last week). Been competitive off higher marks and can go well again.

WROUGHT IRON could kick on again now he's opened his account, and with the luckless one he beat here a fortnight ago having won in good style at Thirsk last week, he gets the vote to follow up. Seas of Elzaam catches the eye back from a break with James Doyle up, while Jumira Bridge deserves another day in the sun.
