Verdict

A strong pace could just tip this in favour of THORNABY ANNIE. Front-running Hatamoto likes it here and may well make another bold bid. Real Jack and Showtown complete the shortlist.

5	Keen-going filly who opened her account in good style at Wetherby (1m) in June. Chased home a fairly useful one at Beverley the following month and wasn't seen to best effect under an attacking ride on softer ground at Ripon (1m) latest. May be rewarded if ridden with more restraint this time. 1st Pick 5 Thornaby Annie (Ire) Jockey: Jack Garritty Trainer: Adrian Nicholls J: Jack Garritty T: Adrian Nicholls	97	-	-	-	17%

7	Front-runner who made it 3 wins from 5 when just holding on in a course handicap (1m) last month. Since shaped well when dominating his side of the track at Redcar, beaten 6¼ lengths behind 3 who were much better positioned. Makes plenty of appeal in his bid to make it 3-3 in handicaps here. 2nd Pick 7 Hatamoto Jockey: David Allan Trainer: Tim Easterby J: David Allan T: Tim Easterby	95	-	-	-	36%

10	Much improved when second in a Newcastle novice (5f) on final 2-y-o start in November. Since tumbled in the weights and best run for a while when 1½-length second of 12 in a weaker event at Catterick 6 days ago. Looks the type who could benefit from a first-time visor, too. 3rd Pick 10 Real Jack Jockey: Connor Beasley Trainer: Michael Dods J: Connor Beasley T: Michael Dods	95	-	-	-	25%
