Ran up best when second at Carlisle on penultimate start but was below form in first-time blinkers when eighth of 12 in handicap (5/1) at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Shortlist material back to best.
Maiden claimer winner the US. First run since leaving Noel Wilson when eighth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm) on UK debut 15 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others more persuasive.
Winner at Ripon in June. Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Thirsk (8f, good, 9/4) 13 days ago, faring best of those held up. First run for yard after leaving Ben Haslam. Player.
Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Alan Berry when eleventh of 12 in handicap (100/1) at this course (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Back up in trip and mark still looks harsh on his achievements so far.
Very good second of 8 in handicap at Thirsk (8f, good, 16/1) 13 days ago, better placed than most. Player if able to back that up.

Forecasts
Cobra Kai (1/1), Yeeeaah (3/1), Hegemon (7/1), Gurkhali Girl (9/1), Mollies Hope (9/1), Clapham Sect (33/1), Hollis Brown (50/1)
COBRA KAI scored at Ripon in June and ran well at Thirsk last time, so can make a winning yard debut for Keith Dalgleish. Yeeaah is also a serious player on his best form, whilst Hegemon can also be involved if able to confirm the improvement shown last time.
