10/3
Ended last term with success from 2 lb higher mark at Doncaster (5.6f) in September. Arrives here having run with credit of late, close-up fourth in 8-runner Thirsk handicap (5f, soft) 13 days ago. First-time visor may put an extra edge on him here.

Dual winner at Beverley (5f) last summer who turned in best effort of the present campaign from sliding mark when close-up fifth in 6-runner Catterick handicap (5f) 31 days ago. One to keep an eye on now only 2 lb above last winning mark.

15/2
3-time winner at Southwell last summer and he ran well from lower turf mark when runner-up at Hamilton (6f) in May. Shaped as if still in good form when midfield in 10-runner Catterick handicap (6f) since and he comes here with yard in good form.

7/2
All 6 career victories gained on AW but he did run well following his comeback run when second to a well-treated sort over C&D 2 starts back. Not seen to best effect on latest outing at Newcastle (5f) latest and not out of things from a handy draw.

Yet to add to Thirsk maiden success (6f) last spring but she comes here in good heart, beaten only by a 3-y-o returned to that venue 24 days ago. Another with claims.

9/1
Just the one win from 26 runs but she comes here having shaped better than bare result when fifth in 9-runner Ripon handicap (6f) 11 days ago, not clear run over 1f out and plugging on. On a fair mark if she can build on that now.

Maiden who made the frame on all 4 starts in 5f handicaps last summer but not yet scaled same heights in pair of starts so far this season, eighth of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (5f) 24 days ago. Others preferred.

Maiden but gone close to bucking that trend of late, caught late in the day at Redcar (6f) on latest start 9 days ago. Up 2 lb ahead of this but he's clearly in good heart and bold showing anticipated returned to the minimum trip.

Yet to fire so far this season, eighth of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, firm) 15 days ago, ridden over 2f out and soon beaten. All 3 career victories have come at 5f but others arrive with more pressing claims.

Dual winner from the front on AW last summer but proved more miss than hit subsequently, unable to build on the minor promise of her Wetherby third 2 starts back when well held in a Yarmouth minor event 18 days ago.

Lightly-raced maiden who offered little in novice/maiden company last term and failed to improve on back of wind op when well held ninth of 10 on handicap/seasonal bow at Thirsk 4 weeks ago. Needs to show more before becoming of interest.

Forecasts

J R Cavagin (10/3), Blazing Hot (7/2), Glendown (5/1), Emeralds Pride (6/1), So Grateful (15/2), Mumcat (9/1), Sherdil (10/1), Dream Deal (16/1), Next Second (33/1), Dunnington Lad (40/1), Zerbinetta (80/1)

Verdict

GLENDOWN went agonisingly close to shedding the maiden tag when reeled in late in the day by one who had tumbled down the weights at Redcar 9 days ago and with the return to 5f holding no fears, he can deservedly open his account. The Paul Midgley pair J R Cavagin and Sherdil are others fancied to feature, with So Grateful also worth a look despite a tricky draw.
