Successful over 1m2f on good-to-firm ground here last August. Fair fourth on seasonal debut here last month but remains on a mark 8lb higher than for that course success.
Broke his maiden at the 20th attempt when winning over 1m4f at Lingfield in early April. Decent 5L third over this C&D subsequently and interesting once more.
Returning from a break when winning over 1m2f on good-to-firm ground here last month. Races off a 4lb higher mark here and has won over further in the past.
Victorious over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton in March. Beaten just 2L over the same C&D the following month and interesting stepping up in trip on his return to turf.
Winner of seven of his 71 starts and likely to appreciate the better ground forecast here having run on soft and heavy ground in two outings since returning from a break.

BARTHOLOMEW J can register his second consecutive victory by taking this six runner handicap. The selection should appreciate this step back up in trip and can see off Widnes who ran well to place over C&D last time out. Raakid is making just his third appearance on turf and he can claim third on this occasion.
