Races & Results Thursday 23rd May 2024
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(6) Reach For The Moon 2/1, Smart but lightly raced on Flat (barely stays 1¼m) for John & Thady Gosden, well held both starts in 2023. Reportedly returned lame when fourth on hurdles debut in February. Given time to recover and he has to be capable of better. Smart Flat form now a fading memory; finished lame on hurdle debut but much to prove.

1st (1) (1/12 +86%) Ittack Blue
0.083333
1/12(+86%)
(1) Ittack Blue 1/12, 310,000 gns purchase after winning a point in Ireland. Hasn't stood much racing but in top hands and well prepared to land the odds on reappearance over C&D a fortnight ago. Obvious claims if this doesn't come too quick. Beat his market rival with the pair clear here two weeks ago; should be hard to beat.

2nd (4) (9/1 +59%) Independent Jimmy
9
9/1(+59%)
(4) Independent Jimmy 9/1, Related to winners over obstacles but looked green in bumpers. Bit more like it when mid-field on hurdles debut at Uttoxeter but likely needs more time. Low-level bumper form and never got involved when 100-1 for hurdling debut at Uttoxeter.

8
3rd (8) (14/1 +36%) Upfordebate
14
14/1(+36%)
(8) Upfordebate 14/1, Showed a bit on bumper debut in January but not in the same form a month later. Hurdles debut. Ran okay to finish a 12l fourth in his first bumper but was then tailed off in the second.
4

4th (3) (33/1 +67%) Happy County
33
33/1(+67%)
(3) Happy County 33/1, Looks very limited on early evidence. Yet to show any real worthwhile form, in a bumper and two hurdles.
5th

5th (7) (125/1 -25%) Strip Light
125
125/1(-25%)
(7) Strip Light 125/1, No show both starts in this sphere in 2020 and, having offered little in a handful of appearances on the Flat last year, he predictably showed nothing back hurdling for new yard in November. Flat maiden who was tailed off in a Sedgefield maiden last time at odds of 250-1.
6th

6th (2) (40/1 +60%) Glen Road
40
40/1(+60%)
(2) Glen Road 40/1, Well held in 2 bumpers and pulled up on hurdles debut. Tailed off in his two bumpers and hurdling debut was just as forgettable.
13:58 Market Rasen Maiden Hurdle
(Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Having finished lame on his right hind when fourth on his hurdles bow at Sedgefield in February, talented Flat performer Reach For The Moon shouldn't be judged too harshly on that defeat. However, the five-year-old will need to up his game to taste victory in this sphere and the experienced ITTACK BLUE rates a more solid proposition. The Dan Skelton-trained gelding opened his account over C&D earlier this month and he could defy a 7lb penalty if dictating the pace once more. Kopa Kilana may chase the duo home.
ITTACK BLUE jumped fluently when outclassing the opposition over C&D a fortnight ago, and in the hope this doesn't come too soon (very lightly raced) he's fancied to follow up. Reach For The Moon failed to meet expectations on hurdles debut but given his Flat form, he'll surely do better this time and is the obvious threat.
Recent C&D winner ITTACK BLUE should be following up in this company. Reach For The Moon can chase him home.
13:58 Market Rasen Maiden Hurdle
(Class 4) 17f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(8) Mrs Kinsella 8/1, Pulled up for the third consecutive start in handicap chase at Plumpton (19.8f, good to soft) 6 months ago. Switches to hurdles with plenty to do. On a good mark, although she'll need this return to hurdles to spark a revival..
9
9
(9) (50/1 +0%) Rhyme Scheme
50
50/1(+0%)
(9) Rhyme Scheme 50/1, Regressive on the Flat and has continued to go the wrong way over hurdles. Yet to be placed after ten start over hurdles and makes limited appeal..
1
2
1st (2) (22/1 +33%) Kosasiempre
22
22/1(+33%)
(2) Kosasiempre 22/1, Hinted at ability in a trio of mares' novice hurdles but disappointing since going into handicaps, having a wind op before pulled up at Chepstow last time. Others make more appeal as she has plenty to prove at present..
2
10
2nd (10) (7/2 +86%) Asa
3.5
7/2(+86%)
(10) Asa 7/2, Regressive maiden who has shown little sign of taking advantage of her much-reduced mark of late. Pulled up latest; has plenty to find on form.
3
7
3rd (7) (5/1 -43%) Nastasiya
5
5/1(-43%)
(7) Nastasiya 5/1, Remains without a win but she was knocking on the door for Rebecca Menzies when last seen out 9 months ago. Returns for her new yard on a handy mark. Interesting. 0-22 Flat/hurdling but capable off this mark; stable debut.
4
3
4th (3) (25/1 +50%) Western Glen
25
25/1(+50%)
(3) Western Glen 25/1, Well held in 2 bumpers and yet to make an impact over hurdles. It's easy to look elsewhere. Ran better than her finishing position would suggest latest; 4lb drop also a plus..
5th
5
5th (5) (9/2 +0%) Mays Hill
4.5
9/2(+0%)
(5) Mays Hill 9/2, Winner of a Fontwell bumper but yet to really threaten in a trio of starts over hurdles. May do better now switched to handicaps, though. Short in the market when withdrawn last month; respected on handicap debut..
6th
6
6th (6) (33/1 -65%) Gine Sacre
33
33/1(-65%)
(6) Gine Sacre 33/1, Third in a 20.5f Ayr handicap in February 2022 but pulled up on his return in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (22f, heavy) 114 days ago. Very hard to warm to. Lightly raced in recent times and has a fair bit to prove at present..
7th
4
7th (4) (7/2 -56%) Cher Tara
3.5
7/2(-56%)
(4) Cher Tara 7/2, Has caught the eye on his last two runs, not given at all a hard time when fifth in 2m Warwick novice 17 days ago. One to consider now into handicaps over further. Player if strong in the market on handicap debut now stepped up in distance for top yard..
8th
1
8th (1) (9/2 +55%) Another Day Out
4.5
9/2(+55%)
(1) Another Day Out 9/2, :Winning Irish pointer but still to score over hurdles and she posted a below form fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (21.2f, good) 29 days ago. Hood is reached for now. Can't be ruled out on the pick of her from if the hood has a positive effect..
11
11
|PU| (11) (20/1 -67%) Den The Diva
20
20/1(-67%)
(11) Den The Diva 20/1, Posted much her best effort of late when third of 10 in handicap hurdle (80/1) at Fontwell (19.1f, good) 15 days ago. Needs to back it up. Respectable third from the front last time but far from guaranteed to back that up..
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The stoutly-bred CHER TARA appeals as just the type to improve for this step up in distance now entering handicap company and the five-year-old could leave modest efforts in maiden/novice hurdle company behind her. The daughter of Kayf Tara shouldn't be overfaced by an opening mark of 87 and she edges the vote over fellow handicap debutant Mays Hill, who looks handily weighted if judged on her bumper form. The returning Nastasiya completes the shortlist.
Not nearly so competitive as the numbers suggest and NASTASIYA is worth siding with to capitalise on a lenient mark on her first run for Lucinda Russell. Handicap-debutante Cher Tara looks to have more to offer and could emerge as the main danger with Mays Hill another who could take a step forward now venturing into this company for the first time.
Nastasiya is respected but preference is for handicap newcomer CHER TARA with this longer trip likely to suit.
(6) Seasmoke 9/2, Lightly-raced maiden who comes here on the back of a good fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (21.2f, good) 29 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Needs considering off the same mark. Racing off the same mark as when fourth at Ludlow last month, likely contender..
2
2
2nd (2) (9/2 +31%) Faha Belle
4.5
9/2(+31%)
(2) Faha Belle 9/2, Irish point winner but he came in only eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle (8/1) at Taunton (23.9f, good) 29 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Down a further 4lb and not ruled out back in distance..
3
1
3rd (1) (14/1 -17%) Blow The Budget
14
14/1(-17%)
(1) Blow The Budget 14/1, Remains a maiden and only eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (19.8f, soft) 95 days ago. Needs a wind op to spark improvement. Has a bit to prove but has been given wind surgery since disappointing in February..
4
7
4th (7) (22/1 -38%) Shibuya Song
22
22/1(-38%)
(7) Shibuya Song 22/1, A fair Flat winner at peak but only modest in that sphere lately and hasn't really taken to hurdling so far. Needs this switch to handicaps to spark improvement. Could play a part on handicap debut back up in trip..
5th
5
5th (5) (5/1 -11%) My Girl Katie
5
5/1(-11%)
(5) My Girl Katie 5/1, Remains winless but she got back on track when third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (22f, good) 14 days ago. Weighted to go well off a falling mark. Better effort latest off a sliding mark; good chance if backing that up..
6th
9
6th (9) (8/1 -14%) My Portia
8
8/1(-14%)
(9) My Portia 8/1, Reverted to hurdles when posting a good fourth of 9 in handicap over C&D (good, 15/2) 13 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up eased 1 lb and with few miles still on the clock. Reproduction of this month's C&D fourth would put her in the mix..
7th
10
7th (10) (9/1 -64%) Trickalight
9
9/1(-64%)
(10) Trickalight 9/1, Irish point winner who comes here in very good nick, second of 10 at Fontwell (19.1f, good) 15 days ago. In the picture despite being 2 lb out of the handicap. Running well since returning from her winter break; not ruled out back up in trip..
8th
3
8th (3) (50/1 -52%) Darsi's Darling
50
50/1(-52%)
(3) Darsi's Darling 50/1, Low-mileage hurdler who was off 6 months before coming in tenth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (21f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Others appeal more. Well held on this month's return; dropped another 4lb with plenty to prove.
9th
8
9th (8) (14/1 +58%) Chantilly Dragon
14
14/1(+58%)
(8) Chantilly Dragon 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 100/1, seventh of 9 in novice hurdle at Hexham (16.2f, heavy) 31 days ago. Up in trip for her handicap debut with lots to find at these weights. Could improve for the step up in trip on handicap debut off a lowly mark..
10th
4
10th (4) (5/1 +9%) Snow Shepherdess
5
5/1(+9%)
(4) Snow Shepherdess 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden who was pulled up in novice hurdle at Musselburgh (19.8f, soft) 95 days ago. Since undergone breathing surgery and could still do better on her handicap hurdle debut. Interesting on handicap debut back from wind surgery judged on her bumper promise..
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Although TRICKALIGHT races from 2lb out of the weights, Deborah Cole's mare arrives on the back of two creditable efforts in defeat at Fontwell. This rise in distance won't inconvenience the daughter of Leading Light and a first victory under Rules could beckon. My Girl Katie travelled with more verve on her third-placed effort at Stratford earlier this month. The seven-year-old should be in the mix once more if running to a similar level, while the relatively unexposed Seasmoke must enter calculations too.
A case can be made for lots of these but MY GIRL KATIE rates the pick of the weights so is taken to gain her breakthrough victory at the chief expense of the lightly-raced Seasmoke. Snow Shepherdess is another to consider now going handicapping along with in-form duo My Portia and Trickalight.
In a tricky contest, Snow Shepherdess is interesting but SEASMOKE appeals most after her promising Ludlow fourth.
(5) Post No Bills 22/1, Bagged 3 handicap chases in 2023, readily making all at Plumpton (17f, good) for latest success in September. However, he hasn't put his best foot forward in 3 starts since returning from a break in March. More exposed than some and bit to prove at present; the better ground should help though..
1
1
1st (1) (2/1 +0%) God's Own Getaway
2
2/1(+0%)
(1) God's Own Getaway 2/1, Low-mileage 6-y-o who made a successful chasing debut in handicap at Southwell (20.4f) in April. Collared dying strides only by a handicap blot at Warwick 17 days ago and remains of interest. Engaged 4.08 Warwick Wednesday. Has taken well to fences and it's unlikely we've seen the best of him yet; big player..
2
4
2nd (4) (11/4 +50%) Sleeping Satellite
2.75
11/4(+50%)
(4) Sleeping Satellite 11/4, Point/bumper winner who opened hurdles account in a Carlisle novice 15 months ago. Some promise in handicaps last season and yard in better form now. Not taken lightly switched to fences. Irish point winner who is respected now upped in distance on chase debut..
3
2
3rd (2) (11/2 -83%) The Gypsy Davey
5.5
11/2(-83%)
(2) The Gypsy Davey 11/2, Off the mark at the fourth attempt between the flags in December and put that experience to good use when making all in maiden at Taunton (16.5f, good to soft) on Rules debut following month. Defied a penalty in similar fashion at Hereford so must be respected up in trip on chase/handicap bow. Unexposed 6yo who's 2-2 over hurdles; up in trip for chase/handicap debut; interesting..
4
3
4th (3) (3/1 +33%) Texard
3
3/1(+33%)
(3) Texard 3/1, Easily best effort for this yard when wide-margin winner here (17.2f) last month. Not in same form at Uttoxeter (20.9f, soft) 19 days ago, his jumping worsening as he tired, but worth another chance with the emphasis more on speed. Seven-time chase winner who is considered, particularly if the ground isn't soft..
5th
6
5th (6) (11/1 -47%) Friary Rock
11
11/1(-47%)
(6) Friary Rock 11/1, Bounced back to best when scoring at Musselburgh in November. Too bad to be true there next time but was below form again back from 4 months here 2 weeks ago. Good-ground chase winner who should be all the sharper since this month's return..
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Point-to-point winner THE GYPSY DAVEY made a seamless transition to hurdles, doing it well on his debut at Taunton before following up at Hereford. Given time to strengthen further, and with his background between the flags suggesting he could be even better over fences, a mark of 110 for his handicap bow makes him hard to resist. Sleeping Satellite is another interesting newcomer to the larger obstacles, while Texard struck over 2m1f here before possibly finding 2m5f beyond him at Uttoxeter, so this trip could be ideal.
GOD'S OWN GETAWAY has made an encouraging start to his chasing career and can quickly resume winning ways having been just denied by a subsequent winner at Warwick. Texard had excuses at Uttoxeter and his wide-margin win here the time before is solid form, so he rates the obvious threat. though chasing newcomers The Gypsy Davey and Sleeping Satellite aren't taken lightly.
Sleeping Satellite merits respect on chase debut but it's unlikely we've seen the best of GOD'S OWN COUNTRY over fences yet.
(1) Kaleb 5/1, Held in strong handicaps around the turn of the year but in process of running well when unseating at Plumpton in February and only edged out late on in refitted cheekpieces at Southwell (20.4f) last month. Fancied to be thereabouts again nudged up 2 lb. With the cheekpieces back on he got nailed on the line in a 2m4f handicap at Southwell.
2
6
2nd (6) (11/4 +17%) Notnowlinda
2.75
11/4(+17%)
(6) Notnowlinda 11/4, Matched pick of her chase form returned to hurdles when successful at Hereford (2m) in March and remained in form since, posting best effort yet when runner-up back at that venue (19.7f) earlier this month. Should make her presence felt again. Hereford winner at 2m; similar form in defeat since then at about 2m4f.
3
8
3rd (8) (8/1 +20%) Got Your Back
8
8/1(+20%)
(8) Got Your Back 8/1, Runner-up sole start in Irish points and off the mark at the third attempt under Rules in a Musselburgh maiden in December. Hasn't scaled same heights either start in novice company since though, and he needs to get back on track now switched to handicaps/following wind surgery. Maiden winner; had wind surgery ahead of handicap debut and retains potential.
4
5
4th (5) (17/2 +39%) Chaos Control
8.5
17/2(+39%)
(5) Chaos Control 17/2, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat who landed a juvenile hurdle here (16.5f) early last year. Mixed bag thereafter in handicaps and better for a recent spin on the Flat when fifth of 9 in handicap at Chepstow 92m) 4 weeks ago. Steps back up in trip now. Not great of late but dangerously handicapped on the best of last year's form.
5th
2
5th (2) (66/1 -371%) Weddell Sea
66
66/1(-371%)
(2) Weddell Sea 66/1, Reached a fairly useful level over hurdles in Ireland (best effort at 19f) and not disgraced over fences/on Flat on final 2 starts for Andrew McNamara and betting may prove a useful guide on back of 8 months off/back over timber. Ex-Irish gelding who lacks a run and he's tackling some in-form rivals here.
6th
7
6th (7) (4/1 -14%) Magical Hill
4
4/1(-14%)
(7) Magical Hill 4/1, Placed in an Irish point/both starts in bumpers and perfect start over hurdles, winning back-to-back novice contests at Huntingdon/Kelso in recent months. Looks an uncomplicated sort and of interest with prospect of more to come now handicapping. This mark looks no gift but she brings momentum into handicap debut.
7th
3
7th (3) (12/1 -85%) Half Shot
12
12/1(-85%)
(3) Half Shot 12/1, Produced a career-best effort when doubling his chase tally at Musselburgh in November and lines up here on the back of an eye-catching fourth in that sphere at Ayr (20.5f) 5 weeks ago. Of interest operating from his lower hurdles mark. Last season was a solid one over fences and he's rated 5lb lower in this discipline.
8th
9
8th (9) (7/1 +42%) Gilbertina
7
7/1(+42%)
(9) Gilbertina 7/1, Has often gone well here and bagged a second course success when just clinging on in a C&D handicap in February. Not in same form at Cheltenham (20.2f) 5 weeks ago but return to this venue can likely see her in a better light. Behind Notnowlinda next time at Cheltenham; will do well to reverse those placings.
4
4
|PU| (4) (66/1 -164%) Logan Rocks
66
66/1(-164%)
(4) Logan Rocks 66/1, Fair maiden in bumpers and reached a similar level over hurdles for Amy Murphy during 20219/season. However, been absent over 4 years ahead of this yard debut (also had a wind op) and he's probably best watched. Formerly useful but a big ask to be competitive after such a mammoth absence.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
MAGICAL HILL has relished the switch to hurdles, going in at the first time of asking at Huntingdon before handling the step up from 2m with ease when following up over this trip at Kelso. An initial mark of 116 doesn't seem overly harsh and he is worth sticking with. He faces his acid test, though, with the usually-reliable Notnowlinda dangerous on the back of a Hereford second. Kaleb went down by the narrowest of margins at Southwell and is only 2lb higher, while Got Your Back enters the handicap ranks following wind surgery.
MAGICAL HILL cemented the positive start made over hurdles when making it 2-2 in straightforward fashion at Kelso 2 weeks ago and he looks the type to make an immediate impact in handicaps on that evidence. Fellow in-form pair Notnowlinda and Kaleb are others to consider, whilst Half Shot is another to bear in mind operating from his lower hurdles mark.
Dan Skelton's NOTNOWLINDA (nap) is looking handicapped about right but she arrives here on the back of three excellent efforts.
(1) Ladronne 6/1, Took advantage of his reduced mark when scoring at Doncaster (24f) in March and bounced back from a lesser run when second to Post Chaise at this course (23.9f) later the same month. Only sixth at Sedgefield (21.1f) 13 days ago, but he could fare better back up in trip. He was on tougher terms with Post Chaise when second to that rival here in March.

3
1st (3) (6/5 +31%) Post Chaise
1.2
6/5(+31%)
(3) Post Chaise 6/5, Resumed winning ways in a change of headgear in amateurs' handicap chase at this course (23.9f) in March and ran at least as well when second at Southwell (the winner has scored again since) a month ago. Leading contender. 4-10 over fences; might be a tad high in the weights but should give his running.
2
6
2nd (6) (11/4 +50%) Benny Baloo
2.75
11/4(+50%)
(6) Benny Baloo 11/4, Showed improved from sent chasing last season, opening his Rules account in novice handicap at this course (23.9f) on Boxing Day. Ran creditably when third back here in February, so he could leave a below-par effort at Hexham behind returned to this venue. The handicapper has looked in charge since his last win and stamina is not assured.
3
5
3rd (5) (3/1 +50%) Croagh Patrick
3
3/1(+50%)
(5) Croagh Patrick 3/1, A while since his last win but he's been a consistent performer in the main, finishing runner-up 4 times in 2023/24. However, he's been below form on his last 2 starts, so he needs to get back on track as he returns to this longer trip. Below par last twice; usually consistent but he does lack a cutting edge (2-31 overall).
4
7
4th (7) (14/1 +30%) Roxboro Road
14
14/1(+30%)
(7) Roxboro Road 14/1, Three-time winner in 2021 but has largely struggled since, though he did show his first form for his current yard when fourth of 12 in handicap chase at Huntingdon (23.6f) last month. Still looks to be up against it from out of the weights. Bit better last time but has stamina to prove and being 7lb wrong is no help.
2

|PU| (2) (14/1 -40%) Tide Times
14
14/1(-40%)
(2) Tide Times 14/1, All 4 of his wins over fences have come at Ludlow, with his latest success over 23.8f in December. However, let down by his jumping when pulled up at the same course on his last 2 outings. Cheekpieces now reached for. On a good mark but cheekpieces are turned to after two below-par efforts.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Post Chaise backed up his victory over 3m here with a runner-up effort at Southwell and he should remain competitive off a 2lb higher rating. However, the vote goes to BENNY BALOO, who reached the frame at Hexham and has to compete off a 2lb higher figure now. Tim Easterby's seven-year-old should have no issues with this step up in trip and he can record his second course victory. Croagh Patrick completes the shortlist.
POST CHAISE arrives in good form, finding only a next-time-out winner too strong at Southwell on his latest outing, so he is taken to add to his tally back at this course. Ladronne could be the one to give the selection most to think about returned to this longer distance, with course-winner Benny Baloo also in the mix.
Post Chaise is probably the most likely winner but LADRONNE has a pull in the weights with him on their clash here in March.
(9) Screened 6/1, Jack Hobbs mare. Dam, fair hurdle winner around 3m, half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Banjaxed Girl and useful chaser (stayed 3½m) Gorsky Island. Has undergone breathing operation ahead of this debut and wears tongue strap. Dam's siblings include a couple of good bumper winners; notable connections; interesting.

18/1(-13%)
(6) Storming George 18/1, £32,000 3-y-o, Order of St George gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Nickelforce. Dam, point winner, half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (stays 2½m) Glencassley. £32,000 3yo; out of a point-winning half-sister to a bumper/hurdle winner.

1st (3) (9/4 +25%) Not So Sobers
2.25
9/4(+25%)
(3) Not So Sobers 9/4, Second of 11 in bumper at this C&D (good to soft, 8/1) on NH debut 43 days ago. Sets the standard and there could be more to come, so obvious claims. Promising debut in C&D event six weeks ago; leading player on bare figures.

1
2nd (1) (11/4 +0%) Jafimgoso
2.75
11/4(+0%)
(1) Jafimgoso 11/4, Left debut form well behind when landing an 11-runner event at Warwick last month, only needing to be kept up to his work. Clearly had something to spare and seems likely to do better still. Suited by the switch to good ground at Warwick and may well build on that success.
3
10
3rd (10) (200/1 -203%) Dartmouth Rose
200
200/1(-203%)
(10) Dartmouth Rose 200/1, Bred to stay well and didn't offer much encouragement when eighth at Southwell on debut 9 days ago. Others make more appeal. Achieved little at Southwell last week on debut.
4
2
4th (2) (7/2 +56%) Aviation
3.5
7/2(+56%)
(2) Aviation 7/2, Martaline gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner Flemensface and fairly useful 2¾m hurdle winner Flemenstide. Of obvious interest on debut. Unraced for Gordon Elliott; half-brother to a bumper/hurdle winner; interesting recruit.
5th

5th (8) (25/1 -79%) Yorgunnabeplucky
25

(7) Tiger Crown 9/1, Ribchester gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including useful 2m hurdler Wonder Laish. Dam unraced. Interesting newcomer for shrewd yard. Nicely bred but yard is 0-10 in bumpers.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Not So Sobers occupied the runner-up berth over track and trip on debut last month and, with normal improvement, he ought to go close. However, he could come out second best to JAFIMGOSO, who took a big leap forward from his first start when scoring by over three lengths at Warwick and he could have plenty more to offer. Dan Skelton's five-year-old can defy his 7lb penalty, while any market support for Screened would also be interesting.
SHADY WADEY has an appealing pedigree and made a promising start when fifth at Ludlow on debut, so he's taken to improve past the likes of Not So Sobers and the penalised Jafimgoso. Aviation looks the best of the newcomers.
The main form contenders are NOT SO SOBERS, Jafimgoso and Shady Wadey. Screened and Aviation are interesting newcomers.
