Needs luck in running, being a hold-up type in sprints, and has dropped 6 lb below last winning mark coming into this race. Recent starts have seen the horse hampered in running and not beaten far. With a clear passage here, he could be the one to come late for the win. Will get plenty of pace to aim at.

Ride The Thunder is taken to reverse the form with Valiancy now 3 lb better off and a hood fitted for the first time. These two met on their final starts last September, with Valiancy winning by just over half a length. The stable places horses well at this track and sends this sole runner up on the 360-mile journey that is noted.

Zen Diva sets the standard on form, rated 74. That standard isn't high and could fall short again with some unexposed types in this race. Of these, I will take a chance with Black Orchid to go well on debut here and could come out on top. Well bred for sprints and cost £420k at the sales.

Expanded looks a worthy favorite here, but my suspicion is that this 7f may prove too sharp and may need a mile at least, judged on the latest start. Native Warrior will find this 7f ideal and, despite going close latest over a mile, is judged on the two wins last year over today's trip. J. Spencer rode those two wins and is back in the saddle again. Good chance.

Green on debut but was well backed and expected to win first time, so was disappointing to not show much, being fifth of six runners over 5f at Thirsk four weeks ago. Should do a lot better, and with that run can improve plenty. An extra furlong today should also suit.
