Verdict

The handicapper might have been a bit premature splitting FEDERAL ENVOY's turf and all-weather marks and he gets the nod to make a winning start for the Charlie Clover yard. The class-dropping Mr Cool is next on the list ahead of Tim Easterby's Fan Mail.

7	Three-time all-weather winner who was a creditable fifth of 10 at Southwell (7f) in April (final start for Iain Jardine). Has a lower mark on turf and might be worth chancing on first run for Charlie Clover. 1st Pick 7 Federal Envoy (Ire) Jockey: Jason Hart Trainer: Charlie Clover J: Jason Hart T: Charlie Clover	100	-	-	-	36%

1	C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2025. 17/2, seventh of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good) 16 days ago, not helped by getting taken on for the lead. That was a Class 4 and should find life easier in this lower grade. 2nd Pick 1 Mr Cool (Ire) Jockey: Connor Beasley Trainer: Charlie Johnston J: Connor Beasley T: Charlie Johnston	98	-	-	-	34%

4	Successful at Southwell (6f) in October. Cheekpieces fitted and placed for the first time since when runner-up in 12-runner handicap at Carlisle (6f) last month, just failing. Respectable effort in blinkers at Thirsk since. Cheekpieces return now. Enters calculations. 3rd Pick 4 Fan Mail Jockey: David Allan Trainer: Tim Easterby J: David Allan T: Tim Easterby	95	-	-	-	19%
