Verdict
Only 7 runners but this still looks a very strong sprint handicap. BONA FORTUNA shaped well in a big field on his York reappearance and Mick Appleby's lightly-raced 4-y-o is preferred to thriving pair Canon's House and Woohoo.

VerdictPromising type. 5/1, showed up well for long way when fifth of 20 in handicap at York (6f, firm) on reappearance 18 days ago. Should be spot on with that behind him. - 1. Canons HouseJ: Billy GarrittyT: Michael & David EasterbyF: 333779-11

VerdictHas improved to easily win handicaps at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) and Thirsk (6f, good) in recent weeks. More on his plate off 12 lb higher now but there could be more to come from this low-mileage sort. - 7. WoohooJ: Lauren YoungT: Jim GoldieF: 659-55111

VerdictC&D winner. Easily best effort this year when 3 lengths third of 8 in handicap (50/1) at Ripon (5f, good to firm) 14 days ago. No good thing to back it up.- Unnamed Favourite
