14/1
Debut bumper winner shaped as though this switch to a handicap/longer trip would suit when third (and not given a hard time) on qualifying run at Kelso (2m) in late-February, for all her opening mark looks on the stiff side.

7/4
Steadily progressive 6-y-o did all he could when second (no match for winner) in a 7-runner novice here last time and makes plenty of appeal back in a handicap.

10/3
Fair bumper winner failed to repeat his previous effort when distant fifth on qualifying run at Musselburgh in February, though his yard has had success with this family, and he could have more to offer now handicapping over a longer trip.

5/1
Successful on second start for current yard at Musselburgh in December and having bounced back to his best when chasing home a class-dropper at Newcastle last time, he needs considering.

Beaten by more than a harsh opening mark/lack of fitness when pulled up on handicap bow at Hexham last time.

7/2
Easy to back/shaped as if better for the run when fourth of 7 at Sedgefield on first start for emerging yard, and he has to have a chance in first-time cheekpieces, especially if the market speaks more favourably.

Let down by her jumping on return from 10 weeks off at Newcastle last time, but this mark demands more regardless.

Forecasts

Rememberthename (7/4), Lester Mail (10/3), Fine Point (7/2), Newport (5/1), Ms Cindy Kate (6/1), Miss Friday Lions (14/1), Hunters Spring (14/1), Glenridding (33/1), Chosen Hero (33/1), Barrakilla Vage (50/1)

Verdict

REMEMBERTHENAME is going the right way and may be able to go one better than he did in a novice here last time. Ms Cindy Kate is feared off a handy opening mark, though, with Lester Mail another likely improver on handicap bow. Fine Point hasn't been long with a very capable stable and he completes the shortlist.
