9/4

First run since leaving Robert Cowell and hooded for 1st time when winning a 5-runner C&D handicap (good, 5/1) 5 days ago, suited by way race developed. Carries penalty and more will be needed if he's to follow up.

18/1

Unreliable sort. Course winner. 33/1 and hooded for 1st time, seventh of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to firm) 6 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Others more persuasive.

9/4

3/1, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 11 days ago, comfortably. 6 lb rise looks manageable and he's the one to beat.

15/2

Tenth of 12 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm, 20/1) 14 days ago. Back up in trip here and will need to raise his game if he's to emerge on top.

20/1

17/2, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Epsom (7f, good to firm) 12 days ago, never nearer. Needs a couple of these to falter if he's to get his head in front.

14/1

Fourth of 7 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to firm, 11/4) 29 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Back up in trip and visor on 1st time. Place possibilities.

Enderman^p⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: K Stott| T: P T Midgley| OR: 54| D

10/3

One win from 21 Flat runs. Seventeen runs since last win in 2020. 6/1, fourteenth of 20 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 41 days ago. Good second over C&D on penultimate start and he's one to consider.

Form: 862320

Forecasts

Cooperation (9/4), So Grateful (9/4), Enderman (10/3), Kendred Fire (15/2), Final Account (14/1), Mehmo (18/1), Essencial (20/1)

SO GRATEFUL deservedly opened his account at Southwell recently and, with conditions no problem at all back on turf, he is taken to strike again with this 6 lb higher mark likely to be within reach. Enderman wasn't ideally drawn at Thirsk last time and looks dangerous judged on his C&D second the time before, while Final Account should also have a part to play.
