Verdict

Low-mileage 5-y-o BELOW THE BELT looks the most solid option, and the addition of first-time cheekpieces can see him go one better than he did on handicap debut at Chepstow. Tyson contested a much stronger handicap at Fakenham last time and this find this much easier. Last year's winner Charlie My Boy has to be considered also.

4	Lightly-raced 5-y-o showed improved form when runner-up on handicap bow at Market Rasen (21f) 17 days ago, not looking flattered despite always being well positioned, and he makes plenty of appeal to go one better in first-time cheekpieces. 1st Pick 4 Below The Belt (Ire) Jockey: David Bass Trainer: Max Comley J: David Bass T: Max Comley	100	-	-	-	25%	3/1

2	Confirmed the promise of an eye-catching previous run when landing a gamble to open his account at Newcastle (2½m) in March. Made little impact off 9 lb higher in a better race at Fakenham subsequently but needs considering back in calmer waters. 2nd Pick 2 Tyson (Ger) Jockey: Tristan Durrell Trainer: Dan Skelton J: Tristan Durrell T: Dan Skelton	98	-	-	-	36%	9/5

5	Cosy winner off 5 lb lower on reappearance in this race 12 months ago, and while not in the same form when well-held fifth here on latest start in October, he's presumably been kept fresh for a repeat bid. 3rd Pick 5 Charlie My Boy (Ire) Jockey: James Davies Trainer: J.
