Reacted well to a visor when successful at Ripon in June. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm, 12/1) 14 days ago, looking a shade awkward.
Continued theme of race-by-race progress when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D (good) 13 days ago, all out but pair were nicely clear of the rest. 4 lb rise could be lenient.
Winner at Ripon in May. Respectable third of 8 in handicap at this C&D (good, 5/1) 13 days ago. Likely to give it another good go.

Forecasts
Shaladar (2/1), Head Chef (9/2), Timbukone (5/1), May Punch (6/1), Spy (13/2), Come On John (7/1), Heights Of Aran (22/1)
SHALADAR stuck to his task well trying this trip for the first time when successful here a fortnight ago and a 4 lb rise won't prevent a very bold follow-up bid. May Punch should give it another good go, while Head Chef is dangerous on his Ripon form.
