3 wins from 11 runs this year and not disgraced when tenth of 21 in handicap at York (6f, good to firm) 22 days ago, needing stiffer test. Hood on 1st time and needs considering.

Hooded for 1st time and hinted at a revival when ninth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 23 days ago, twice badly hampered in last 2f. Interesting off a reduced mark.

11/4, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up despite taking a 2 lb rise.

C&D winner but off 7 months since posting a respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f). Needs to hit the ground running on his comeback.

Running well without winning this term, second of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 43 days ago. Can make her presence felt once more.

Forecasts

Alseeyerthere (9/4), Musical Mystery (7/1), Siam Fox (7/1), Biplane (15/2), Prairie Falcon (10/1), Touchwood (11/1), Falcon Nine (11/1), Sibyl Charm (12/1), Wilde And Dandy (12/1), Power Of Gold (14/1), Matty Too (100/1)

Verdict

This is wide open so it's worth siding with FALCON NINE to build on the promise of his recent unlucky-in-running C&D ninth and capitalise on a handy mark. In-form Musical Mystery heads the list of dangers with both Biplane, Sibyl Charm and Alseeyerthere others to consider.

  1. Falcon Nine11/1

  3. Biplane15/2
