11/4

Last of 8 in handicap (13/2) at Ripon (12f, heavy) 28 days ago. Should benefit from the return to this quicker surface and is still relatively unexposed.

Form: 0/1604-8

10/1

16/1, first run since leaving Harry & Roger Charlton when creditable second of 5 in handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, good to soft) 23 days ago. One to consider.

Form: 1/3379-2

66/1

33/1, fell in handicap chase at Perth (23.8f, soft) 29 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code. Poor on last Flat run and others are more persuasive.

14/1

Bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap (66/1) at Bath (11.6f, soft) 27 days ago. Up in trip. Others make more appeal.

5/6

Won 9-runner handicap (7/1) at this C&D (heavy) 20 days ago, keeping on well. Has to be taken seriously.

17/2

Good second of 12 in handicap hurdle (8/1) at Plumpton (25f, good) 41 days ago. Fair on the Flat and not discounted returning to this sphere.

66/1

Ninth of 12 in handicap chase at Fontwell (26f, good, 10/1) 17 days ago. Modest on the Flat, respectable on last Flat outing. On a fair mark returning to this sphere, albeit with something to prove.

Warranty (5/6), Clan Chieftain (11/4), Masterdream (17/2), It's All About You (10/1), Bug Boy (12/1), Vin Rouge (14/1), Eagle Court (20/1), Astroman (66/1), Petrastar (66/1)

WARRANTY found plenty to capitalise on an easing mark on Flat debut for this yard and, in a thin race, he's fancied to go in again for all that It's All About You looks a serious opponent. Clan Chieftain is still unexposed and merits respect for all that he has an underwhelming reappearance to put behind him.
