WEN MOON looks the most solid option on the back of a pair of creditable placed efforts. Handicap newcomer Polka and Albegone may pose the biggest threats in a trappy race.

1	Stepped up from his comeback when an encouraging third at Carlisle last month and confirmed his return to form when third of 8 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good to firm, 9/2) 19 days ago. Leading player again. 1st Pick 1 Wen Moon (Ire) Jockey: Cam Hardie Trainer: Ben Haslam J: Cam Hardie T: Ben Haslam	100	-	-	-	23%	Scratched

3	Perhaps not the most straightforward (has pulled hard) but found plenty to edge ahead in a tight finish in a 4-runner maiden at Newcastle (5f) in February. Opening mark looks workable after 128 days off. 2nd Pick 3 Polka Jockey: Rowan Scott Trainer: Julie Camacho J: Rowan Scott T: Julie Camacho	94	-	-	-	23%	Scratched

7	Four-time C&D winner is now on a 17-run losing streak but ran well when placed at both Musselburgh and Nottingham earlier this month. Shaped as if still in form in a deeper race at Thirsk last time and he can give a decent account in another change of headgear. 3rd Pick 7 Albegone Jockey: David Allan Trainer: Tim Easterby J: David Allan T: Tim Easterby	96	-	-	-	56%
