Tongue strap on, first run since leaving Richard Fahey when good second in handicap (10/1) at Kempton (7f) 13 days ago. Another runner-up effort at Southwell on Wednesday and big chance if turned out.

10/1

Latest win at Kempton in October. 8/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 13 days ago, worst of draw. Latest effort best excused and had been in good order previously, so considered.

The Mackem Torpedo^b,t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Phil Dennis| T: K Scott| OR: 49| C

25/1

Course winner. Good fourth of 11 in handicap (25/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 16 days ago, running on late. On a handy mark on and looks to be on the way back, so not totally dismissed.

Form: 909074

Million Reasons^v²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: C Lee| T: P D Evans| OR: 49

10/1

Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 10/1, last of 14 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 20 days ago. Others make more appeal.

16/1

16/1

C&D winner. 6/1 and eyeshields on for 1st time, very good length second of 12 to Patontheback in handicap at this course (6.1f) 8 days ago. Not sure to be in the same form.
