10/3

Two-time C&D winner who disappointed when eighth of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (10/1) 17 days ago, racing off pace and weakening over 1f out. This represents a drop in grade back at Catterick.

11/4

Finished fifth in all three maiden/novice starts, most recently at Doncaster (125/1) 117 days ago, noted making late headway. Makes handicap debut now stepping up to 12f, which could bring improvement.

25/1

Has been disappointing in recent runs including when 6th of 7 in handicap at Thirsk (20/1) 47 days ago, reared at the start and never involved. Hopefully that was a one-off.

5/1

Shaping well in recent 10f handicaps, twice finishing runner-up, latterly at Pontefract (4/1) 13 days ago, led approaching final furlong before headed late on. First-time cheekpieces today for step up to 12f which recent strong-finishing efforts suggest will suit.

Forecasts

V Twelve (5/2), Lightning Tiger (11/4), Made All (10/3), Heathen (4/1), Lights Go Down (5/1), Shaffron (12/1), Flickering Halo (12/1), Mersea Island (14/1), Red Trail (14/1), Prince Achille (25/1)

LIGHTS GO DOWN has been knocking on the door recently, finishing a close second at Pontefract 13 days ago when ridden positively. The step up to 12f should suit based on his finishing efforts, and first-time cheekpieces may provide the extra needed to get off the mark. Heathen has been a consistent performer and continues to run well after changing hands, while Made All needs to bounce back from a below-par effort at Doncaster but this is easier.
