13:14 – Hartswood

Cases can be made for the majority of these, but HARTSWOOD was too free in a steadily-run race at York last time and, having hinted at a return to form on his penultimate start at Newcastle, he is taken to strike off a reduced mark down in grade here. Recent course and distance winner Engles Rock is feared most, though Tommy G looks dangerous now back at his favoured track.

13:44 – United Approach

UNITED APPROACH shaped with plenty of promise on his debut over six furlongs in a novice event at Ascot at the beginning of the month and, with that form working out well, he looks the way to go with improvement on the cards. That said, Rez will not go down without a fight judged on his near miss at Pontefract where the re-opposing Shine’s Ambition was close up in third. Quintus Arrius is appealing on paper and adds extra spice to what looks a useful maiden for the track.

14:19 – Maple Jack

The Julie Camacho team are in grand form so a chance is taken on MAPLE JACK as he shaped as if he can win off this sort of mark when an eye-catching fourth over course and distance on his penultimate start. He got wound up in the stalls when well backed on his latest start so may be worth forgiving that effort. Jordan Electrics and Tothenines both ran quite well in the Bronze Cup over C&D recently and could be the pair to give the selection most to do.

14:54 – Jump The Gun

JUMP THE GUN was a good winner over this course and distance last month, and looked a bit unlucky in the Silver Cup over six furlongs here 10 days ago. He would have likely finished second with a clear run and is taken to resume winning ways back up in trip. The unexposed Love de Vega is feared most ahead of Western Meeting winners Gweedore and Abduction.

15:29 – Northbound

NORTHBOUND belatedly took advantage of a falling mark when ending a losing run at Newcastle last month and he quickly dispelled a below-par run when runner-up at Thirsk a fortnight ago. He was given too much to do on that occasion and was unable to reel in the winner who was ridden more positively, and he remains attractively weighted. Written Broadcast appeals as one who new trainer Ollie Pears will get a win out of before too long and he heads the dangers.

16:04 – Star Of St James

STAR OF ST JAMES fared best of those ridden prominently in a handicap over a mile at this course last time, leaving the impression he is still in top form, so is given another chance to show he’s still on a favourable mark on turf. Recent Catterick scorer Josiebond could go well again, while Classy Al is well capable at this level if things drop his way.

16:39 – First Impression

FIRST IMPRESSION shaped quite well over course and distance at the recent Western Meeting in a race he won a couple of years ago, not getting the clearest of runs and losing ground entering the straight, and he is taken to build on that promise and resume winning ways in what isn’t as strong of a race. Gorak proved himself at this trip in a competitive Racing League handicap at Windsor last time and is second choice, while Shine On Brendan and Aussie Warrior complete the shortlist.

17:10 – Marcello Si

MARCELLO SI appeared to take a step back in the right direction when third upped to a mile and three quarters at Redcar a fortnight ago and this low-mileage four-year-old could be the answer to what is a trappy-looking contest. Tomorrow’s Angel bettered her reappearance effort when third at Ripon and she is likely to be in the mix, while Floating Rock is also shortlisted.
