Front runner who made all to win first two carer starts last year but has struggled to match that form this season. Visor the new form of head gear and this represents a drop in class.
Won on good to firm twice earlier this season but also has winning form on soft so no problem if the rain arrives. Remains in good heart and should again run his race.
Formerly with Roger Charlton for whom he won over 1m6f at Wetherby last year. Ran best race for this yard when second at Pontefract latest and claims if able to build on that.
Added to excellent course record, including a win in this a year ago, when scoring over 1m2f last week. Return to this trip is in his favour and although wins have been gained on sound surface, has form with ease in ground should the going change.
Wolverhampton winner on penultimate start but has always been better on the AW and sole turf win was in 2015 and current mark on grass leaves him with something to find.
Well backed to win at Thirsk when dropping down to this trip and run last week can be ignored as he reared when stalls opened. Gets plenty of weight from his rivals and not without a chance.

ZIHAAM made it two from five at the track when coming off a strong pace to score here last week and with the return to this trip in his favour he can add to his impressive course record and land this for the second year running. Sioux Frontier has been in good heart this season and there is no reason why he shouldn't play a part while the drop in class makes Celestial Force of some interest.
