Won twice at this C&D last year. Below form when 6¾ lengths eighth of 10 to I Can't Believe in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 16/1) 10 days ago, but he's not ruled out back at this venue.

Capitalised on falling mark when opening his account at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in January and ran even better under a penalty when second of 8 in handicap at same course (9.5f, 2/1) only a day later. Major player.

C&D winner last summer. Ran better than on first start this year when respectable 3 lengths fifth of 10 to I Can't Believe in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 16/1) 10 days ago, but others still more persuasive.

Placed on final 3 starts last year before not seen to best effect when fifth of 9 in handicap (4/1) at this C&D 23 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Needs things to drop right but he enters calculations.

Confirmed recent promise when getting off the mark in 6-runner handicap at Newcastle (8f, 9/4) 12 days ago, scoring with a bit in hand. Not taken lightly now that he's up and running.

Three wins from 20 runs in 2024 but lesser efforts both outings so far this year, seventh of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 20/1) 9 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Twenty-three runs since last win in 2022. Got going too late when sixth of 11 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 10/1) 23 days ago, but he has dropped a long way in the weights if first-time visor has a positive effect.

Forecasts

Northern Cracksman (11/4), Retraction (11/4), I Can't Believe (3/1), Ring Of Gold (15/2), Light Up Our Stars (10/1), Al Suil Eile (12/1), Down To The Kid (25/1), Mykonos St John (25/1), Create (40/1), First Dynasty (66/1)

Verdict

I CAN'T BELIEVE has been going the right way since the application of a visor, getting off the mark at Wolverhampton before bumping into a thriving rival at the same course 9 days ago, so he is taken to continue his good spell and resume winning ways. Northern Cracksman also arrives in form and is respected, with Retraction another who is capable of getting involved.
