Ffos Las handicap winner in September and back on track when second in nursery at Newmarket 6 months ago. That form hasn't worked out but he's capable of getting involved if ready to go.

Much improved when winning 10-runner handicap at Catterick (6f, heavy) 24 days ago, well on top finish. Raised 6 lb for that victory but remains low mileage and fancied to follow up in similar conditions.

Left debut form well behind to get off the mark in 7-runner Catterick maiden in September but returned with a low-key effort behind Shelbourne there on return. Up against it.

20/1
Lightly-raced maiden who again found only one too good on handicap debut at Newcastle (6f) in March. Poor efforts both starts since and yet to prove himself on turf. Visor back on.

11/1
Much improved when opening her account in a Pontefract maiden (5f) in July. Exploits have proved mixed thereafter but she's likely to strip fitter for her returns at Catterick earlier in the month. Should get closer to Shelbourne on this occasion.

Positive return at Newcastle and shaped as if still in form when fifth there last time. Longer trip is in his favour and visor applied for the first time, so could up his game.

Forecasts

Shelbourne (11/10), The Smiling Wolf (15/8), Act Of Violence (9/1), Princess Alex (11/1), Miners Gamble (18/1), Artistic Mission (20/1)

Verdict

SHELBOURNE underlined his liking for testing conditions when an impressive winner at Catterick on return and, on similar ground, he's capable of following up if the trip doesn't stretch him. Miners Gamble is likely to up his game over the longer trip and Princess Alex should be better for her reappearance.
