Verdict

Four-time C&D winner KING OF YORK made a pleasing return here last week and could be the way to go down in class. How's The Guvnor and Secret Road both failed to land a blow in the same race at Wolverhampton on Tuesday but had been in good form and can bounce back.

4	Four-time C&D winner who returned from a 9-month break in good heart when second of 11 in handicap at this course (20/1) 6 days ago.

7	Bidding for hat-trick but found good form coming to a halt under a penalty at Wolverhampton (4/5) on Tuesday, possibly finding another quick run coming too soon after just 7 days off. Still must be respected if turning out again. 2nd Pick 7 How's The Guvnor (Ire) Jockey: Darragh Keenan Trainer: Jennie Candlish J: Darragh Keenan T: Jennie Candlish	100	-	-	-	31%	Scratched

11	Won twice from 5 starts in January and posted 3 runner-up efforts in that spell. Possibly should have won at Lingfield but found run of good form coming to a halt at Wolverhampton on Tuesday, racing too freely closer to the pace. Not easy to dismiss all the same. 3rd Pick 11 Secret Road (Ire) Jockey: Luke Morris Trainer: James Owen J: Luke Morris T: James Owen	99	-	-	-	13%	7/1
Analysis Won twice from 5 starts in January and posted 3 runner-up efforts in that spell. Possibly should have won at Lingfield but found run of good form coming to a halt at Wolverhampton on Tuesday, racing too freely closer to the pace. Not easy to dismiss all the same.
