Made a winning start for his new yard but remains well handicapped despite 6lb rise. Unsuited by fibresand latest and can leave that run well behind. Leading contender.
Ran on well for a close fourth over this trip at Redcar following a near year long absence. Remains lightly-raced and every chance if building on that promise.
Lost his way last year after winning this race off 4lb higher. Back to form at Nottingham on reappearance and can go close off 1lb lower for in-form yard.
Six-race maiden but a close fourth in Listed company in France last year. Way below that level in three starts this year and one to watch on handicap debut.
Plummeting in the weights but a shade of his former self from his days with Richard Hannon. Drop in trip a negative and remains out of form.
Forecasts
Kripke (7/4), Casement (3/1), Mount Ararat (5/1), Mutarakez (6/1), Royal Shaheen (17/2), Contrast (14/1), Quoteline Direct (33/1)
It may pay to ignore the latest run of CASEMENT and he remains well handicapped on his best form. Kripke remains open to improvement and was promising on his return while Mutarakez is primed to try and follow up on last year's success.
