Signed off last season with success in a similar event at Ascot and returned with an excellent second there in November. Well held next 3 starts but back to form returned to Ascot and in a first-time tongue strap when a close second 2 weeks ago. Has winning form at this track so must be respected.

Useful handicap hurdler/chaser, scoring in this sphere at Kelso on return. Exploits have been mixed since but this represents a drop in class running in a veterans' event for the first time.

4/1
Temperamental, low-mileage 10-y-o who was back to form in first-time headgear when winning veterans event at Exeter in February. Found Midlands National at Uttoxeter too demanding following month but will be much more at home here.

Landed a gamble when capitalising on further drop in the weights at Catterick (25.2f) in February but just respectable third in veterans' contest at Newbury last month.

7/2
Hasn't won since his novice days. Decent efforts in defeat first 2 starts this season but not so good at Newcastle the last twice, albeit trip too short last time. 1 lb out of the handicap.

Added to his fine record at Carlisle when scoring on return (26.2f) here in November. Below par since, however, so opposable from 2 lb out of the handicap. Headgear on.

Forecasts

Elvis Mail (3/1), Marown (7/2), Ask Me Early (4/1), Omar Maretti (9/2), Houston Texas (9/2), Two For Gold (10/1)

Verdict

ELVIS MAIL won off this mark at Kelso on his reappearance and can return to winning ways dropped to a veterans' event for the first time. Two For Gold responded well to a tongue strap when a close second at Ascot 2 weeks ago so is feared most ahead of Ask Me Early, who will find this less demanding than the Midlands National.
