Verdict

WILLIAM YEATS should benefit from this step up in trip and he's an interesting proposition making his second handicap outing after a 5-month break. Pepite De Saphir showed enough last time to suggest she can prove competitive from this reduced mark and makes most appeal of the remainder.

5	Sedgefield bumper winner at the second attempt when trained by Rebecca Menzies. Seemingly brought along gradually across his qualifying runs but didn't immediately improve when third of 15 over 17f here on handicap debut. Longer trip will suit if ready after a 5-month break, though. 1st Pick 5 William Yeats Jockey: Jonathan England Trainer: Sam England J: Jonathan England T: Sam England	99	-	-	-	20%	4/1

7	Showed some promise in maiden/novice hurdles for Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole and offered more than on yard debut when fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (2½m, good to soft, 80/1) 85 days ago, albeit finding less than looked likely. Starting to look well treated. 2nd Pick 7 Pepite De Saphir Jockey: Nathan Moscrop Trainer: Rebecca Menzies J: Nathan Moscrop T: Rebecca Menzies	100	-	-	-	10%	10/1

8	C&D winner who returned to form when 2¾ lengths third in a competitive race for the grade at Perth (2½m) at the start of last month but was never going well when eighth of 9 in a handicap hurdle at Cartmel (2¾m, good) 39 days ago. Place claims if able to bounce back. 3rd Pick 8 Top Flight Century (Fr) Jockey: Joshua Thompson Trainer: David Thompson J: Joshua Thompson T: David Thompson	97	-	-	-	12%	8/1
