3/1

Took advantage of a reduced mark when scoring for the first time for this yard at Ludlow in March (on the back of a breathing op). Has held form well since, finishing a close third at Worcester a fortnight ago, so no surprise if he's in the mix again.

Form: P12-433

8/1

Off 5 months before good fourth of 14 in handicap chase at Clonmel (22.8f) in April. However he hasn't covered himself in glory on either run in Scotland since and this is his first outing today after leaving Gordon Elliott.

Form: 5584-P3

11/8

Finally off the mark at Ludlow in May (final start for Tom Lacey) and followed up that breakthrough success by seeing off 4 rivals over C&D later that month. Improved further when completing a hat-trick at Southwell 16 days ago and he may well have not finished progressing.

Form: 78-3111

9/4

Resumed winning ways at Ludlow in May and has backed that up with a pair of runner-up efforts, latest at Stratford just over a fortnight ago. Nudged up 1 lb for that but he must enter calculations is his current mood.

Form: 32-4122

Forecasts

You Name Him (11/8), Mr Yeats (9/4), Itacare (3/1), Neachells Bridge (10/3), Imperial Sachin's (8/1)

Cases can be made for most but the most persuasive one is for YOU NAME HIM. Rebecca Menzies' charge arrives firmly on the up so he's fancied to make light of a 5 lb rise in the weights and stretch his winning sequence to 4. Mr Yeats is going through a good spell at present and he may have to settle for silver for a third start in succession, ahead of Neachells Bridge.
