Snapped a losing run in a 9-runner handicap at Ripon (2m, good, 7/2) 15 days ago. Tudhope takes the ride again and he should be competitive after a further 2 lb nudge.
Made it 3-4 in handicaps when an emphatic winner at Salisbury (1¾m) 5 weeks ago. Very much unexposed as a stayer and a further 7 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop him against older rivals.
Successful twice over 2m at Catterick in the first half of 2022. Not seen again until finishing down the field in 2 outings last month. Could be building up her fitness but need to see more before lending support.
Runner-up twice last month and probably not ideally suited by the drop back to 11f when only 6 lengths fourth here last time. This sort of test should see her in a better light.

Forecasts
Manxman (4/11), Aighear (15/2), Spantik (15/2), Hellenista (17/2), Yasmin From York (28/1)
MANXMAN stands out as a 3-y-o heading in the right direction in this line-up and looks good for a fourth win in his last 5 starts. Recent Ripon scorer Spantik can follow him home.
