Sky Bet Match5 Handicap

Three-time winner who showed improved form and did well under the circumstances when third in hot 1m handicap here on return at the Craven Meeting, faring best of the quintet who raced up the stand rail. Might be a bit quirky, but he's also been largely progressive and good shout back up in trip.

Easy to back and ran poorly on first outing since leaving William Haggas after 7 months off at Ripon 3 weeks ago. Back in trip and on a good mark. Again goes without usual tongue tie.

From a good family and 2-2 in Lingfield AW events over this trip 4 months apart (green but well on top finish on return). Very much a smart prospect given connections and pedigree and got to go well on turf/handicap debut.

Dual AW winner. Good efforts in handicaps over this trip on the other course on final starts for the Meades' last summer and not on a bad mark if ready to roll for new yard.

Ended long-losing run at Redcar earlier this month. Left poorly placed at Chester last week and better than that. Ran well on only other previous visit here.

Much improved after 7 months off/gelding operation when opening account in well-run Yarmouth handicap over this trip on return. Not so good at Windsor next time and more needed now.

Been thriving on the AW, completing 5-timer in 1m Southwell handicap 7 weeks ago under this rider. This is tougher back on turf/back up in trip but he could have more to offer.
