5/6

Scored on chase debut at Hexham (2m) in November and run creditably in defeat more recently, latest when second of 4 in handicap at Carlisle (15.9f, good to soft, 10/3) 33 days ago. Returns to longer trip now and must enter calculations.

Added to his fine record here with back-to-back victories over this trip last month. 8 lb higher now but looks sure to go well again.

Forecasts

Captain Quint (5/6), Ardera Cross (1/1), Massini Man (2/1), Overcourt (4/1), Dalyotin (8/1), Pat's Pick (12/1), Thatsy (20/1)

MASSINI MAN has been rejuvenated since joining Sandy Thomson and can bag his third success of the season. Course specialist Ardera Cross is much respected whilst Captain Quint should also give another good account.
