Only beaten a neck over C&D in February and on the same mark here, so clear chance on that if he can bounce back from a couple of below par efforts since then. Can't be ruled out, but others more persuasive at this stage.

Second start for this yard (formerly with Hugo Palmer), ran fine considering 33-1 price tag suggested little was expected at Redcar last time and may well come on for that. Untried on this surface but has a squeak if handling it. Trip fine.

Only had the three starts, placed twice over C&D already and has taken a step forward on each run, so plenty to like about his chances on handicap debut here, especially with the cheekpieces fitted. More to come and has to be on any shortlist.

Similar profile to Blindingly, three runs and two places already on this surface, but didn't really improve second run to third and has had a wind operation since. Could easily get back on track if fit after winter break, and a player here.

9/1
Already twice a C&D winner, and placed on many other occasions, so clearly loves it here, and with that, could pay to forgive two efforts on turf this April (although ran well at Leicester all the same). Not discounted back on his favourite surface.

Yet to win in nine starts, form a bit patchy and ought to have done better at Southwell last time out but does have some C&D form to his name, so hard to rule out totally. Others may have more improvement to come, though.

Four wins in 50 starts is not the most persuasive of win ratios, but on the plus side he has got plenty of C&D form to call upon (including a win here last year). Yard going through a poor spell though, which has to be a concern.

Probably needed his comeback effort at Pontefract earlier in the month given he'd not been seen out for nine months, but it wasn't persuasive enough to think he'll be winning this, and cheekpieces on here look more in hope than anything now.

Regular here and when it all falls right for him, he does pop his head in front. Race probably not run to suit last couple and that might well be the same story again here, as he needs a good pace to come off. Others preferred.

10/1
Twice a C&D winner this spring and probably found the drop back to 7f against him last time, but another that really wants a solid pace to come off (usually held up). May do best of the Goldie pair, but still only makes limited appeal.

Another race that's complicated due to a lack of pace. On that, you could make a case for Farhh Away making all in first time cheekpieces, but it's a flimsy one, and it's better to stick with the tried and tested Tapeta sorts. BLINDINGLY and Kingdom Brunei both have form here and look potential improvers now they go handicapping, with preference just for the former now the headgear goes on, which should help his finishing effort. Kingdom Brunei will be no pushover if fit and a wind operation may help his cause. Elixsoft loves the Tapeta and could bounce back to form.
