Verdict

MINTANA got back on track when second here a fortnight ago and a repeat of that may well suffice returned to 7f. Woodrafff is inconsistent but shaped better at Southwell in January on his penultimate start and is a threat on that run. My Boy Jack ran better than for a while when fourth here last time back in headgear and could improve for the step up in trip.

6	Inconsistent this winter but got back on track when second of 9 in classified race here (12/1) 14 days ago. Return to 7f no issues and looks the one to beat on that run. 1st Pick 6 Mintana Jockey: Joe Leavy Trainer: James Evans J: Joe Leavy T: James Evans	100	-	-	-	27%	Scratched

11	Modest performer who won at Newcastle last September and similar form when third at Southwell in January, shaping well despite missing the break. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (3/1 fav) 13 days ago, wasn't at the same level, slowly into stride and faded final furlong. 2nd Pick 11 Woodrafff Jockey: William Pyle Trainer: Ruth Carr J: William Pyle T: Ruth Carr	98	-	-	-	56%

7	Well-travelled gelding without a win in 37 starts but ran better than for a while when fourth of 9 at this course over 6f (4/1) a fortnight ago, back in headgear with the strong pace bringing him into it late on. Likely to be sticking at it. 3rd Pick 7 My Boy Jack Jockey: Jack Mitchell Trainer: Kevin Frost J: Jack Mitchell T: Kevin Frost	87	-	-	-	15%
