11/2

Career best when winning 5-runner handicap (13/2) at Musselburgh (9f, good to firm) 6 days ago. Carries penalty but he displayed a willing attitude on that occasion so seems sure to give it a good go.

10/3

Runner-up effort at Wetherby worked out well and he produced a career best when winning 11-runner handicap back at that venue (8f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Carries penalty but looks the one to beat.

Form: 9-8521

16/1

5/1, sixth of 8 in nursery at Southwell (8.1f). Off 173 days but returns with yard in reasonable nick.

Jazz Scene³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: P Mulrennan| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 62

7/4

Thrice-raced maiden. 25/1, seventh of 10 in novice event at Catterick (7f, good) 37 days ago, needing stiffer test. Makes handicap debut upped in trip so could well be a different proposition.

Form: 767

Forecasts

Jazz Scene (7/4), Mysteryofthesands (5/2), John L Sullivan (10/3), Rosenzoo (11/2), Finn Ironside (16/1)

Having finished second in a very warm handicap for the grade at Wetherby, JOHN L SULLIVAN opened his account back at that venue last week and has strong claims of defying a penalty. The potential fly in the ointment is Jazz Scene, a Sir Mark Prescott handicap debutant tackling a more suitable trip.
