6/1
Unreliable type. 25/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Back up in trip and he looks vulnerable for win purposes.

20/1
Course winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Redcar in August. Last of 10 in handicap (9/2) at Redcar (14f, good) 14 days ago. Perhaps a shade too high in the weights for now.

9/1
Sixth of 7 in handicap chase at Cartmel (21.2f, good, 8/1) 29 days ago. Creditable third at Wolverhampton on latest start in this sphere in March and he's one to consider.

12/1, respectable third of 11 in handicap at Ripon (16f, good to firm) 28 days ago, slowly away. Expected to be bang there off a 1 lb lower mark here.

6/4, good second of 6 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f) 39 days ago but more will be needed if he's to open his account in this contest.

22/1
Nineteen runs since last win in 2016. Last of 6 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f, 150/1) 22 days ago. This is a more realistic assignment but he's opposable all the same.

Good third of 10 in handicap at Redcar (14f, good, 18/1) 14 days ago. Likely to be in the mix if reproducing that level of form.

3/1 and blinkered for 1st time, tenth of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (14f, good to firm) 90 days ago, slowly away. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Winner at Hamilton in August. 25/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at this course (13.1f, good) 11 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Forecasts

Scottish Dancer (4/1), Aighear (11/2), Tomorrow's Angel (11/2), Satanic Moon (11/2), Socially Shady (6/1), Marcello Si (6/1), Floating Rock (9/1), Desert Quest (20/1), Monticello (22/1)

Verdict

MARCELLO SI appeared to take a step in the right direction when third upped to 1¾m at Redcar a fortnight ago and this low-mileage 4-y-o could be the answer to what is a trappy-looking contest. Tomorrow's Angel bettered her reappearance effort when third at Ripon and she is likely to be in the mix, while Floating Rock is also shortlisted.

  1. Marcello Si6/1
  2. Tomorrow's Angel11/2
  3. Floating Rock9/1
