NYMAN has seemingly been working his way back to form in recent months, faring best of those held up when third in a stronger race at Redcar 7 days ago. Down to a handy mark, he can confirm the promise of that run back at 7f. C&D winner Thapa VC comes here thriving and is an obvious threat, as does Michael Dods' Imperial Guard, who is also a key player.
