  A treble on the card last Saturday for the Pauling team and only one runner today in course winner Sound And Fury, who was in excellent form around this time of year last term, scoring at Wetherby. A winner over a similar trip here in November, he is only one pound higher in the weights and could bounce back after a couple of disappointing efforts in competitive handicaps. This is a trappy little race without many obvious front-runners, so he could gain a tactical edge if allowed his usual lead. Fairly priced at around 5/1.

  Parish Star is chasing a hat-trick, and the hood clearly worked for his new yard. With the headgear removed today, I am not keen to back him at short odds. More interesting is the Sam England runner Wind Your Neck In, a Flat winner rated in the 80s who runs here from a hurdles mark of 89. Usually effective in testing conditions, he was disappointing last time at Market Rasen, racing keenly in the rear. He tends to race prominently, so a return to those tactics could help after showing promise earlier this term. Oscar Palmer claims a handy 3 lb in these conditions, which adds to the appeal. At around 7/1 he looks worth an each-way bet with bookies going 4 places.

  After winning an easy maiden for her new yard following the move to Olly Murphy this term, Keppel Queen showed a clear tendency to jump right when heavily backed favourite on her runs at Uttoxeter and Plumpton. To be fair, after being outpaced last time she stayed on again in the closing stages, suggesting she could remain well handicapped off a mark of 104. She returns to a right-handed track, which should help, as she finished a close second in her only previous run at Carlisle. She handles the conditions well and could outstay this field of mares, with the stiff finish playing to her strengths. At around 5/2 she looks worth a go.
