9/1
Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap (28/1) at Sandown (14f, good to firm) 25 days ago, unable to sustain effort on the back of 5 months off. Entitled to be sharper now and drop in class rates an obvious plus.

Course winner. Tenth of 11 in handicap (9/2) at Newcastle (12.4f) 11 days ago, possibly disadvantaged by his position. Steps back up in trip now with cheekpieces refitted.

5/4
Dual C&D winner. 7/2, good second of 7 in handicap at Pontefract (18f, good) 17 days ago, staying on. Mark has crept up a little more but he's well worth considering.

Losing run is mounting up but eased in weights and he ran well on the back of 6 months off when third in a 10-runner Redcar handicap (14f) 18 days ago. Claims of hitting the frame again from same mark.

Capitalised on falling mark at just her second try at this sort of trip at Ripon (2m) in May. However, not in same form when third of 4 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f) 3 weeks ago.

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 14/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable sixth of 10 in handicap at Redcar (14f, good to firm) 18 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Worth a crack this longer trip on balance.

Still a maiden but she has been running creditably for her new yard, runner-up in an 8-runner Musselburgh handicap (2m) 9 days ago. Should give another good account and she remains low-mileage at this sort of trip.

Forecasts

Cold Henry (5/4), Baez (7/2), Spantik (9/1), Arabescato (9/1), Bonne Vitesse (12/1), Lord Torranaga (16/1), The Dancing Poet (16/1), Wheres The Crumpet (22/1), Jack Yeats (22/1), Infiniti (28/1), Visitant (33/1), Trailblazer (33/1), Grifter (80/1)

Verdict

A dual C&D winner during the second half of last year, COLD HENRY has improved again this campaign, producing his best effort yet when runner-up in a higher grade at Pontefract 17 days ago. He earns the vote to come out on top, with Arabescato, Lord Torranaga and Baez a trio of others fancied to be thereabouts.
