Verdict

A few with chances but it could pay to side with course specialist DR RIO who signalled he is ready to strike again here when fifth over C&D (form working out well) last time and can edge out recent Newcastle scorer Bearwith. In-form duo Sunny Orange and Princess Niyla also enter the reckoning in this competitive handicap.

4	A 6-time course winner. Yet to score this season but shaped encouragingly with fifth of 9 to Kitsune Power over C&D (good to firm) 29 days ago, faring best of those held up. That form has been franked so he merits serious consideration. 1st Pick 4 Dr Rio (Fr) Jockey: Zak Wheatley Trainer: Declan Carroll J: Zak Wheatley T: Declan Carroll	100	-	-	-	11%	17/2

1	Back to winning ways in 13-runner handicap at Newcastle (1¼m) 18 days ago. Up 5 lb but had something left in the tank there so this C&D scorer must enter calculations. 2nd Pick 1 Bearwith Jockey: T. Kiely-Marshall Trainer: Harriet Bethell J: T. Kiely-Marshall T: Harriet Bethell	99	-	-	-	27%	11/4
