11/8
Promising type who won a brace of nurseries on slow ground last term and all the better for return when good second of 8 in handicap at Redcar (10f, heavy) 10 days ago, no extra close home. Sound claims from same mark.

17/2
Lightly-raced maiden. Had wind op/gelded, failed to improve for switch to handicaps when fifth in 7-runner handicap at Lingfield (1m, AW) 24 days ago, headed final 1f and fading. May sharpen up a little for that now tackling this longer trip.

5/1
Son of Almanzor who was well served by step up in trip/switch to handicaps when winning 6-runner handicap (4/1) at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) 22 days ago, leading last ½f and asserting close home. Further progress certainly possible and he's one to consider.

17/2, first run since leaving Ivan Furtado when 3 lengths fourth of 6 to Papa Ricco in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) 22 days ago, no extra late on. May strip fitter for that here and each-way claims.

6/1
Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 13 in minor event at Doncaster (7f, heavy, 200/1) 25 days ago, driven halfway and never dangerous. Switch to handicaps rates a plus now but he does need to start with more efficiency. Significantly up in trip.

14/1
Modest form on 2 of his 3 starts in maiden/novice company at up to 7f during second half of last year but easy to back and didn't find any notable progress for marked step up in trip when fifth in 8-runner Southwell handicap (12f) in January. More needed returned to turf.

Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 16/1) 47 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

18/1
Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 8 in handicap (12/1) at Redcar (8f, heavy) 17 days ago, weakening over 1f out. May well strip fitter for that and blinkers could put an extra edge on him.

11/1
Nearer last than first all 3 starts in novice/maiden events, including when sixth of 7 returning from 6 months off/having been gelded at Pontefract (10f) 16 days ago. Switch to handicaps rates a plus but would need to see market support behind him to make him of interest.

Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Thirsk (12f, soft) 23 days ago, dropping away under 2f out. Much more needed.

Forecasts

Cantora (11/8), Papa Ricco (5/1), Mayjority (6/1), Mickey Mongoose (17/2), Master Sheridan (11/1), Breathtaker (14/1), Crosstitch (16/1), Future Times (18/1), Eyeofthebeholder (18/1), Wadacre Inca (40/1)

Verdict

A dual heavy ground winner late last year, CANTORA stepped up plenty on her comeback run when runner-up at Redcar 10 days ago and a repeat may well be enough to see her go one place better from the same mark. Papa Ricco improved for the switch to handicaps/longer trip when scoring at Nottingham recently and he's the chief threat, ahead of Crosstitch.
