1	Progressive all-weather performer readily landed a double at Wolverhampton 6 days ago and with nothing in his pedigree to suggest turf will be an issue, he merits plenty of respect bidding for hat-trick under 5-lb penalty. 2nd Pick 1 Pride Of Donegal (Ire) Jockey: Callum Shepherd Trainer: Charlie Johnston J: Callum Shepherd T: Charlie Johnston	99	-	-	-	40%

5	Capitalised on a falling mark at Catterick (soft) but was found wanting for pace back on the all-weather at Newcastle in November. Did run well on seasonal reappearance last season, though. 3rd Pick 5 Gibside Jockey: David Allan Trainer: Tim Easterby J: David Allan T: Tim Easterby	98	-	-	-	19%
