13/2
Consistent performer who made the frame again when creditable second of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 8 days ago. Remains fairly treated, back on turf, and is likely to be in the mix.

C&D winner who posted respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) when last seen in November. Figures off a handy mark but it's been time some time since he got his head in front.

Confirmed return to form when narrowly taking 7-runner handicap at Nottingham (5f, good) 14 days ago. Just 2 lb higher now and another bold bid is on the cards.

Scored twice last season, including when landing 10-runner handicap at Redcar (6f, soft, 28/1) on final start in November. Returns on a fair mark and is another to consider.

No real impact in a couple of starts this term and is now tried in first-time hood. Others are more convincing.

Forecasts

Our Absent Friends (3/1), Dandy Dinmont (9/2), Ancient Times (13/2), Honour Your Dreams (13/2), Glendown (15/2), Opal Storm (9/1), Toptime (12/1), Taygar (16/1), Betweenthesticks (16/1), Herakles (20/1), Gis A Sub (20/1)

Verdict

Preference is for BETWEENTHESTICKS, who got back on the scoreboard at Nottingham a fortnight ago and remains feasibly treated. There are plenty of dangers, however, with Glendown and Gis A Sub particularly respected.

  1. Betweenthesticks16/1
  2. Glendown15/2
  3. Gis A Sub20/1
