RACE STATS

It’s probably best to forgive CHEYENNE NATION for his below par display at Redcar last month and he will have every chance if reproducing the form of his reappearance second at Thirsk, provided he takes to this surface. Exceed and Debydinks both found just one too good last time out and the former, who has had fewer chances than Keith Dalgleish’s charge, is feared most maiden 50/1, fourth of 11 in maiden at Catterick (5f, good) Off 8 months ahead of this handicap debut and improvement needed.

SPIRIT OF BOWLAND scored with far more in hand than the margin of victory would suggest at Southwell 18 days ago and a 4lb rise is unlikely to prevent this 4-y-o from completing the hat-trick. Odd Socks Havana and Masham Moor have both been holding their form well in recent months and are likely to emerge as the main dangers Our Dickie is also in with an each-way shout ahead of this debut for new yard and she’s probably worth taking on
