16/5
First run since leaving Lawrence Mullaney when creditable second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 4/1) 10 days ago, no match for winner. Tongue strap on 1st time and he merits consideration.

6/1
Unreliable individual. 25/1, creditable third of 7 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 5 days ago, slowly away. On a good mark but others make appeal for win purposes all the same.

Creditable second of 10 in handicap (4/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 38 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Charlie Fellowes and should have a part to play.

7/2
C&D winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2023. 22/1, second of 12 in handicap at this course (10.2f) 20 days ago, well positioned. Back down in trip and more will be needed if he's to go one better this time.

Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, third of 7 in novice at Wolverhampton (6.1f). Off 12 months and significantly up in trip for this handicap/yard debut. Needs to raise her game.

12/1
16/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy). Off 133 days ahead of this debut for new yard and sports a first-time visor. Others more persuasive.

7/2
Three-time C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in January. 11/8, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 27 days ago, not clear run. Has to be taken seriously.

Forecasts

Northern Cracksman (16/5), Cloch Nua (7/2), Skilled Warrior (7/2), Broken Spear (6/1), Falcon Nine (6/1), Diddy Man (11/1), Cuban Fiesta (12/1), Shaz (66/1)

Verdict

The 9.5f trip appeared to stretch NORTHERN CRACKSMAN at Wolverhampton recently and he looks the way to go back down in trip off the same mark. Cloch Nua's winning run came to a halt at Southwell but he didn't help himself with a sluggish start and will be a threat if breaking more alertly this time. Falcon Nine also enters calculations.
