Two wins from 6 runs last year. Career best when winning 22-runner handicap at this course (10f, good to soft, 5/1). Off 6 months. 9 lb rise looks on the harsh side.

Forecasts

Crystal Black (7/2), Grey Leader (4/1), Mr Rango (5/1), Casanova (5/1), Fast Tara (7/1), Sirjack Thomas (8/1), Duke Of Leggagh (10/1), You Owe Me Money (16/1), Current Option (20/1), Loingseoir (25/1)

Verdict

Dual C&D winner SIRJACK THOMAS has been holding his form well in recent weeks could be ready to strike (2 lb below last winning mark) with the return to 1m in his favour. Grey Leader progressed to win 3 of his 5 starts as a 3-y-o so must be respected, while Fast Tara is potentially on a nice mark back in a handicap and starting out for a new yard.
