11/2

Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 6/1) 17 days ago, ridden more positively under change of jockey and coming clear. 6 lb higher but unwise to dismiss.

Head Chef (7/2), Poet's Dawn (5/1), Strangerontheshore (11/2), Broctune Red (13/2), Outsmart (7/1), Crown Princess (17/2), Grifter (9/1), Mr Strutter (11/1), George Ridsdale (22/1), Go Sing (25/1), Cosmic Power (25/1), Regal Mirage (40/1), Discomatic (66/1)

Tim Easterby enjoyed a 1-2 in this last year and could hold the key again with POET'S DAWN. He'd been in good form off his much-reduced mark before a blip at Carlisle 4 weeks ago and could end his losing run back at the scene of his last 2 wins. Rowan Scott got a good tune out of Strangerontheshore here earlier this month, making more use of her than has been the case, and she could go well again despite a 6 lb rise. Outsmart and Mr Strutter are a couple of others to consider.
