4	Made a fine start in 3-y-o handicaps, winning at Leicester/Redcar before finishing 5¼ lengths third in a much better race at Doncaster. Has run a couple of stinkers in open company since but the one to beat if recapturing his previous form. 1st Pick 4 Gaelic Approach Jockey: Jason Hart Trainer: Charlie Johnston J: Jason Hart T: Charlie Johnston	100	-	-	-	29%	5/2

2	Steadily progressive 4-y-o who resumed winning ways in good style at Redcar before following up in similar fashion at Nottingham in late May. Good claims to make it a hat-trick if returning from 8-week break in similar form. 2nd Pick 2 Tupero Jockey: Mark Winn Trainer: David O'meara J: Mark Winn T: David O'meara	99	-	-	-	37%	7/4

1	Versatile sort. Well positioned in modestly-run affair when third at Catterick. Wasn't asked to lead when well below that level at York subsequently. Benefits from a sizeable drop in grade but very flimsy form so far this season. 3rd Pick 1 Gibside Jockey: Jake Dickson Trainer: Tim Easterby J: Jake Dickson T: Tim Easterby	94	-	-	-	17%	5/1
