J: Paul Mulrennan

T: Jim Goldie

Made giant strides last year, notably when getting up late in the Portland at Doncaster (5.5f, good); better than ever when overcoming a troubled passage to win at Musselburgh last month (5f, good to soft); hard to believe he's not still well treated up 4lb and he looks every inch a Pattern-racer in waiting; whether today's combination of a fast 5f on quick ground will see him to best effect remains to be seen.

J: Paul Mulrennan

T: Jim Goldie

Ended his 2023 campaign with a third of 20 in a 5f handicap at this meeting; he's made giant strides as a 4yo, winning 5f handicaps on good to soft at Musselburgh and Thirsk in the first half of the year before taking his form to a new level with a last-gasp win in the Portland last week (5.5f, good); 3lb wrong under his penalty but he overcame adversity at Doncaster and his style of racing means it is hard to gauge where his ceiling lies; one of two good chances for Jim Goldie.

4yo who has enjoyed an excellent campaign, including two wins earlier in the season (5f, good to soft) and a close third to Shagraan off this mark at Haydock (5f, good) last Saturday; won at Carlisle last September when he last tackled 6f and there's every chance he'll be bang there.

Two wins from five races this year, latest at Thirsk (5f, good to soft) in June; close second to Jer Batt over C&D (good) next time, runner-up at Pontefract (5f, good to firm) since and there's every chance he'll continue to progress, especially if settling better than last time; key player.
