15/2

Latest win at Thirsk (5f) in May. 2/1, last of 6 in handicap at Carlisle (5f, soft) 33 days ago. Been given more of a break ahead of this and just the type his yard will do even better with yet.

25/1

C&D winner. Eighth of 11 in handicap (7/2) at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) in August, doing too much too soon. Did run well on his respective return last summer so not dismissed on return.

Forecasts

Never Dark (7/4), Denzil's Laughing (7/2), North Wind (5/1), Stay Smart (6/1), Good Luck Fox (15/2), Gowanbuster (8/1), Sound Of Iona (9/1), Abel Handy (14/1), Tomily (16/1), Jordan Electrics (25/1)

A typically competitive sprint handicap with the vote in favour of DENZIL'S LAUGHING. A winner at Catterick in April, he needs forgiving a lesser effort at Redcar on his most recent start, but having run well here previously, it would come as no surprise to see a better showing. Never Dark and Jordan Electrics are a couple of others fancied to be in the mix.
