Firmly back on track returned to testing ground in recent weeks, supplementing his narrow Brighton victory in good style at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) 4 days ago. Big shout in hat-trick bid under a penalty.

Modest hurdles winner (stays 16.7f) who has been absent since finishing down the field in 14-runner Ffos Las handicap (15.8f) back in December 2022. Likely best watched on this belated return.

Enjoyed an excellent 2024, gaining a fourth success of the campaign in 8-runner Southwell handicap (11.1f) 4 weeks ago, digging deep under pressure. Equally as effective on turf and respected for all his revised mark now demands more.

Ended last season in good form and built on promising yard/reappearance second when going one place better at Chepstow (12f, heavy) in May. Not in same form after 3 days off at Newbury later that month and no surprise to see her back to form returning from a break.

Exploits mixed on the Flat earlier this term and he never threatened after 3 months off when sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (21f, good) 25 days ago. Others make greater appeal despite sliding mark.

Latest win at Ripon (12f) in June. 22/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at Redcar (10f, soft) 10 days ago. Step back up in trip rates a likely plus now at least.

Resurgent earlier this year, successful at Kempton (12f) in February prior to running out a ready winner in handicaps at Bath/Doncaster in April. Recent efforts not so inspiring though, dropping away from 2f out when sixth of 13 in handicap at Bath (13f, soft) 27 days ago.

Infrequent winner but plenty of good efforts when the mud is flying, encouraging return from 11 months off when second of 7 in handicap at this course (10f, heavy) 13 days ago, clear of rest. Claims of hitting the frame with a repeat from unchanged mark.

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat for William Knight. Offered little both starts over hurdles for new yard this autumn and only market support would make him of interest returned to this sphere.

C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Brighton (11.9f, good to soft, 7/2) 20 days ago. Comes here in good heart and sound claims of hitting the frame.

Winner at Yarmouth in July. 8/1, right back on song when good second of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 30 days ago, caught close home but well clear of the remainder. Possibilities for all he needs to prove his effectiveness on ground this testing.

Forecasts

Cresta Cat (6/5), Red Derek (9/2), Fen Tiger (9/2), Shield Of Honour (9/1), Fiddlers Green (12/1), Liberated Lad (18/1), Cherryhawk (20/1), Sameem (22/1), Foveros (25/1), First Cut (80/1), Mind Hunter (125/1)

Verdict

CRESTA CAT has been resurgent returned to testing ground of late, following up his Brighton victory with plenty to spare at Nottingham 4 days ago. Wisely turned out under a penalty, he gets the nod to complete the hat-trick back up in trip. Cherryhawk, back from a break, Fen Tiger and Red Derek head up the dangers, with Liberated Lad another to consider.
