Fair handicapper who wasn't disgraced when fourth of 13 in a 6f handicap at Thirsk (good) on final start in August. Returns to the AW on a workable mark back from a break, so not ruled out.

Madrinho^b⁵⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Watson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 65| D

66/1

5/2

Proved better than ever when winning 14-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f, 4/1) 7 days ago, staying on well. Carries 5 lb penalty and seems sure to go well again.

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Laura Coughlan⁽⁵⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 64| D

50/1

Creditable third of 12 in handicap (28/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 12 days ago, nearest finish. He's soon to be 12, but nevertheless he should remain competitive from his current mark.

Form: 232483

33/1

Stopped the slide to some extent when sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 33/1) 12 days ago. Needs to build on that now.

Forecasts

Redzone (5/2), The Thin Blue Line (4/1), Kodi Gold (11/2), Soyounique (15/2), Grey Galleon (8/1), Tomshalfbrother (10/1), Winnetka (11/1), Capla Spirit (20/1), Somewhere Secret (22/1), Tom Tulliver (33/1), Excessable (33/1), Steelriver (50/1), Sam's Call (50/1), Madrinho (66/1)

REDZONE was seen to good effect the way things unfolded from his high draw at Newcastle last week, but he still ran out a commanding winner and looks well in under a 5 lb penalty, so he's fancied to follow up. Fellow last-time-out scorer Kodi Gold is still relatively unexposed at this trip, so has to be considered a big threat, with Soyounique worth a market check returning for a new yard.
