Victorious over this trip at Catterick (good-to-soft) on his penultimate start and ran well when a close second over the same C&D subsequently. One to note with a leading amateur in the saddle.

Placed on the AW earlier this year but absent since finishing fifth in an amateur riders contest over this trip at Wolverhampton in April. Worth a check in the market following a break.

Forecasts

Patrick (6/1), B Fifty Two (7/1), Essential (7/1), Mansfield (7/1), Jacob's Pillow (8/1), Lincoln Red (17/2), Mr Greenlight (10/1), Peachey Carnehan (10/1), Bobby Joe Leg (14/1), Queen Of Kalahari (14/1), Just An Idea (16/1), Racquet (16/1), Gun Case (20/1), Coastal Cyclone (22/1), I'll Be Good (25/1), Space War (25/1), Mitchum (28/1), Just A Rumour (50/1), Red Hot Fusion (100/1)

MR GREENLIGHT appeared to struggle with the extra distance last time out and he can make a winning return to this trip with victory in this competitive lady riders handicap. The selection looks capable of seeing off Jacob's Pillow who has been in good form this season while third place can go the way of Patrick who was narrowly beaten on the AW last time.
