It's now 13 runs since his last win in 2021 and he came in only 13th over C7D last time. Needs to bounce back.

Arrives on the up and notched a fifth win of the season in 7f Thirsk handicap last month. This C&D scorer merits serious consideration once more despite a 5 lb rise.

Ended 2020 with success over 7f at Doncaster but largely below his best this time around. Falling in the weights but he still needs to take a step forward.

Resumed with win at Pontefract in April and caught the eye when third in 6f handicap at Epsom in June. Goes well fresh and this return to 7f should suit so he's a player with Simon Walker up.

Forecasts

Carnival Zain (5/1), Pocket The Profit (11/2), Young Fire (15/2), Alablaq (17/2), Final Watch (9/1), Stone Soldier (9/1), Able Kane (9/1), Persuasion (10/1), Dance Fever (11/1), Tomfre (12/1), Kimifive (16/1), Lord Rapscallion (28/1), Spirited Guest (28/1), Mr Trick (33/1), Zhui Feng (66/1)

Verdict

Plenty are in with a shout in this amateurs' event. POCKET THE PROFIT returns from a break on a handy mark and goes well fresh too so looks the way to go with Simon Walker also in the saddle. Carnival Zain is enjoying a fine season and this C&D winner rates a big threat, while Alablaq is another having a fine 2022 who needs factoring in. Persuasion and Young Fire complete the shortlist.
