Creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good, 18/1) 19 days ago, slowly away. Blinkers back on and by no means a forlorn hope.

11/4, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 12 days ago, all out. Should give it a good shot off this 3 lb higher mark.

Forecasts

Thornaby Pearl (13/8), Wreck It Ryley (5/1), Miss Willows (5/1), Glendown (5/1), Zegos Surprise (7/1), South Dakota Sioux (7/1), Strength 'n Honour (33/1)

Verdict

Having shaped with encouragement on his recent reappearance at Doncaster, THORNABY PEARL looks the way to go. The 5-y-o evidently goes well here and is now 4 lb below his last winning mark. Glendown hit the target over this C&D last time and is clear second choice ahead of Wreck It Ryley and South Dakota Sioux.

  2. Glendown5/1
