Won at this C&D (10/3) in May before finishing third of 12 in handicap at Hamilton (20/1) 86 days ago, travelling well but denied by well-treated rivals. Should remain competitive back at a course where he's won four times.

Capable, as shown by easy Thirsk win in June and narrow Doncaster second in July. Fourth of 10 in 5f handicap at Thirsk (11/2) 32 days ago, led and gave a bold sight before weakening in the final stages. Goes well when able to dominate small fields.

Struggled at higher-level tracks before finishing second of 10 in handicap at Beverley (11/2) 26 days ago when missing the break but running on well. May be returning to form over this shorter trip.

Has bounced back to form with a win and two runner-up finishes in last three starts. Second of 11 in 5f handicap at Ripon (6/1) 15 days ago, continuing in good heart but no match for one in the form of his life. Previous course and distance winner who remains on a competitive mark.

Three consecutive seconds before finishing 13th of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (17/2) 38 days ago, possibly needing the run after a break. No previous C&D success but has shown promise here before.

Fair performer in 5f handicaps with good course record of 4 wins. Third of 8 in handicap at this course and distance (11/4) 22 days ago, led early before being headed over 1f out and kept on. Well suited to these conditions based on recent solid form.

Has shown respectable form in 5f handicaps this season but finished last of 11 at Ripon (4/1) 15 days ago, never looking like landing a blow despite attracting support, racing off the pace. Without a win in 17 races now. Could benefit from the removal of tongue strap.

Thankuappreciate (5/2), Equity Law (11/2), Betweenthesticks (7/1), Albegone (15/2), Birkenhead (8/1), Lucius Aurelius (11/1), Miss Brazen (12/1), Keldeo (14/1), Our Absent Friends (14/1), Le Beau Garcon (16/1), Chuti Manika (18/1), Military Girl (22/1), Desert Champion (150/1)

Verdict

BETWEENTHESTICKS has bounced back to form impressively with a win and two runner-up finishes in his last three starts and remains on a competitive mark. This previous course and distance winner is narrowly preferred to Birkenhead, who boasts an excellent course record with 4 wins. Miss Brazen could prove dangerous if allowed to dominate.
