Verdict
COSMIC SOUL has been knocking on the door and this looks a fair opportunity for him to finally open his account. He's marginally preferred to Morandi Second and Myboymax who chased him home in a slowly-run race at Catterick earlier this month.

VerdictC&D winner on final start of last season and has performed creditably on her two runs this season, latest when 3¼ lengths fifth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (good) 25 days ago, when caught further back than ideal.

VerdictFourth in a steadily run 1½m handicap on penultimate start and again was favourably positioned when all out to land a 4-runner handicap at Wetherby (10f, good to firm, evens) 7 days ago, having had the run of race. In good heart but stamina questions to answer over this longer trip.- 5. MyboymaxJ: Aiden BrookesT: Micky HammondF: 023149-35

VerdictHas performed respectably on both handicap starts this season, not ideally placed when fifth behind two of today's rivals at Catterick (15.9f) 16 days ago. Blinkers refitted and could be more competitive here.

VerdictCourse winner notched 3 wins for Alan King in 2023 but has become temperamental. Creditable Flat run when fifth over 12f at Wolverhampton (caught wide) in February but made an underwhelming handicap debut back over hurdles last month. Remains to be seen if he can bounce back on the level.- Unnamed Favourite

VerdictNotched a hat-trick of second place finishes when runner-up over this trip at Redcar 5 days ago and again did little wrong in defeat. Has already finished in front of a couple of these rivals this season and he probably sets the standard here.
