Untrustworthy individual. Course winner. Below form fourth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 11/1) when last seen in January. Got to be a chance he'll need this.

Let's Go Hugo¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall⁽⁷⁾| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 63| CD

7/2

C&D winner. Unlucky not to finish closer when sixth of 9 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm, 6/1) 16 days ago, not clear run final 1f. Has to be taken seriously.

Form: 442396

(5)

Dc Flyer^p²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 62| BF| CDWS

Lady Nunthorpe^p1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: P J McDonald| T: G R Oldroyd| OR: 62

18/1

Fair form at 2 but below that level in 2 outings this year, albeit caught wide of where the main action unfolded at Redcar last time. Has cheekpieces added now.

Form: 4355-88

(1)

Northerner^p⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 55

40/1

Modest form. Tongue strap and cheekpieces on first time, below-form fourth of 8 in novice at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) 43 days ago. Makes tapeta debut.

Form: 2-42964

Forecasts

Sound Reason (10/3), Let's Go Hugo (7/2), Herakles (9/2), Dc Flyer (9/2), Taygar (8/1), Leodis Dream (11/1), Lady Nunthorpe (18/1), Stone Of Destiny (25/1), Betweenthesticks (28/1), Northerner (40/1)

LET'S GO HUGO finished with running left in him at Redcar last time and is worth a chance to confirm the promise of that effort. August's C&D scorer Dc Flyer has had his wind tweaked since finishing fourth here 3 weeks ago and will be a big threat if that procedure has had a positive effect. Taygar completes the shortlist.
