Won by 4L over this C&D six days ago and will have to overcome a 5lb penalty to follow it up. He looks much better now though after his wind-op so expect him to go close again.
Has won seven times in her 25 races so far, including three times at the back end of last year. Was seventh of 12 runners last time at Catterick (6f). A C&D winner but first outing since October so may need the run.
Was second of nine runners on reappearance at Ripon (6f) last month but then was down the field at Carlisle over the same trip just a few weeks later. Has to bounce back. Will appreciate any rain in the ground.
Has run well on both starts since switching yards. Was beaten by a neck when second over this C&D last month but then was successful just a few weeks later to justify favouritism. Major player as he has been in great form at this track.
Won twice over this distance last year but has since switched yards. Was second of six runners at Pontefract (6f) on opening run of season last month but followed that up with a disappointing appearance at Carlilse. Others preferred.
Has won twice over this C&D so clearly enjoys this track. Was second of eight on the AW at Southwell (6f) back in April. Off a decent mark but needs to find much more on current form.

GLOBAL SPIRIT has been running really well over this C&D since switching yards and he is worth sticking with to record another success in this sprint. The leading danger is sure to be Air Raid who also was victorious over this C&D on his last start, he will have to defy a 5lb penalty though. Final Go should enjoy conditions and is worth considering to make the frame.
