10/3

Justified strong support and proved better than ever when successful at Perth (23.8f) in May. Creditable third back from 4 months off at Kelso (17.1f) last time but his mark demands that little bit more dropped further in trip.

Form: 442U-13

11/1

Ex-Olly Murphy inmate landed handicap at Stratford (17f) in March on debut for Clive Boultbee-Brooks. Bit disappointing at Bangor last time but has dropped back to feasible mark after another stable switch.

Form: 5P132-4

4/1

Rapid improver when switched to aggressive tactics last spring, completing a 4-timer before running at least as well in defeat when second in 5-runner C&D handicap. Starts new season on same mark and is shortlisted.

7/2

Better than ever at the age of 9, gaining third win of the summer in comfortable fashion at Perth (2m) late last month. Continued good form when second at Sedgefield last week and another bold show expected.

11/4

Stopped the slide from career-low mark when chasing Tico Times home at Perth back over fences 22 days ago. On a lenient mark if able to build on that effort.

Form: 4-38U42

Going Mobile^p,t¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 88| BF| D

9/1

Won at Hexham in September but found run of good form coming to a halt when only third of 4 in follow-up bid there 13 days ago. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces back on.

Deerfoot^t²⁹

40/1

Poor maiden hurdler/chaser. Hard to fancy from more than a stone out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Check My Pulse (11/4), If Not For Dylan (10/3), Tico Times (7/2), Wheelbahri (4/1), Going Mobile (9/1), Getaway Luv (11/1), Treshnish (12/1), Deerfoot (40/1)

TICO TIMES is enjoying a fine season already and with the benefit of race-fitness he's narrowly preferred to last season's rapid improver Wheelbahri. Check My Pulse could be best of the rest.
