Good third over 5f at Doncaster and Pontefract on first 2 outings this year but reportedly bled when eighth of 9 in handicap (17/2) at Redcar (6f, good to firm) in May. Off since.

Consistent performer who has been placed 4 times over C&D this year. Another good effort when second of 12 at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 4 weeks ago. Expected to be bang there again.

Failed to progress from debut for 3 different trainers in Ireland. Off for 9 months ahead of handicap debut for another new stable. Betting perhaps the best guide to expectations.

4/1, respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Visor on first time. Claims if the headgear has a positive effect.

Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, first run since leaving Paul Attwater when last of 8 in handicap at Pontefract (5f, good to firm) 33 days ago. Needs to leave that well behind.

5/1
Latest win at Ripon (6f) in May. Very good second of 18 over C&D last month. Not in the same form when fourth of 5 at Doncaster since but capable of bouncing back.

Career best when winning 10-runner nursery (7/2) at Newcastle (6f) last autumn on final start for Kevin Ryan. Peak fitness has to be taken on trust now setting out for a new yard.

Forecasts

Captain Vallo (5/2), Flowstate (16/5), Hurstwood (5/1), Kiss Me My Love (5/1), Groundsman (6/1), Dandy Dinmont (14/1), Lady Fox (20/1), Uncle Sam (28/1), Ifonlytheycudtalk (40/1), Bueno Nacho (50/1)

Verdict

Perhaps this will be the day the reliable CAPTAIN VALLO deservedly gets his head back in front. If Flowstate reacts positively to first-time headgear she's handicapped to go well. Hurstwood's penultimate C&D second is solid form and he's another more than capable of having a say.

  1. Captain Vallo5/2
  2. Flowstate16/5
  3. Hurstwood5/1
