11/1
Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, ran best race after 4 months off when second of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 15 days ago, having the benefit of a good position. Could build on that effort here.

5/1
Ran respectably despite racing too freely early on when fourth of 5 in handicap (7/2) at Newcastle (8f) 26 days ago, ideally needing stronger gallop. Others make more appeal.

3/1
9/4, ran best race despite again looking a tricky customer when second of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 38 days ago, edged out close home having carried head awkwardly/looked hesitant. Cheekpieces back on and expected to be bang there.

18/1
Not seen to best effect when fifth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 28/1) 22 days ago, needing stronger gallop. 7 lb claimer takes over and others seemingly have more compelling claims.

Well held on handicap debut after 8 months off (40/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 23 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.

8/1
Lightly-raced maiden. Fared no better than on return when seventh of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 11/2) 15 days ago, slowly away. Easy to look elsewhere.

15/2, last of 9 on nursery debut at Wolverhampton (7.2f). First run for yard after leaving Richard Hannon after 6 months off (7,000 gns). Cheekpieces on 1st time.

8/1
15/2, ran creditably when third of 8 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 47 days ago, hanging left under 2f out. She ought to stay this trip so is one for the shortlist.

5/1
Ran well when third of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, well-backed 6/4) 26 days ago, needing stiffer test. This trip is sure to suit so he looks one to keep onside.

11/2
Possibly unsuited by conditions when sixth of 10 in nursery at Redcar (8f, heavy, 16/1), slowly away. Off 5 months and will need to hit the ground running.

Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, went with little promise when last of 5 on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 30 days ago. Significantly back down in trip.

Forecasts

Leap Year Lad (3/1), Na Scoitear (5/1), Direct Hit (5/1), Indication Rocket (11/2), Blue Yonder (8/1), Capofan (8/1), Storyinthesand (11/1), Red Fort (14/1), Beautiful Star (18/1), The Muffin Man (40/1), Tiz Likely (66/1)

Verdict

LEAP YEAR LAD has looked a tricky customer, but he went as close as he ever has to winning at Newcastle last month, and with this contest unlikely to take much winning, Kevin Ryan's charge gets the verdict back in headgear. This trip should be right up Na Scoitear's street so he may emerge as the main danger, with Storyinthesand another who needs considering.

  1. Leap Year Lad3/1
  2. Na Scoitear5/1
  3. Storyinthesand11/1
