11/8

Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 6/1) 33 days ago. That is good form and he has to be taken seriously in hat-trick bid back up in trip.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 67

40/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form fifth of 14 in handicap (33/1) at Dundalk (10.7f) 55 days ago, never nearer. First run for yard after leaving Barry Fitzgerald. Tongue strap on 1st time. Could do better for new yard.

Forecasts

Bit Harsh (11/8), Dinoo (7/4), Percy Willis (5/1), Spiritofthenorth (7/1), Order Of St John (7/1), Bearaway (33/1), Cinco Saltos (40/1), Crafter (50/1)

DINOO shaped much better than the bare result having been set far too much to do over this trip at Kempton 3 weeks ago and can strike off the same mark re-united with David Egan (on board for both his wins). The hat-trick seeking Bit Harsh is an obvious player. Cinco Saltos is one to keep an eye on, while the returning Spiritofthenorth isn't dismissed lightly having scored at Ripon when last seen in the summer.
