It might be worth forgiving SUPASPECIALAWESOME a lesser run in a competitive 0-90 here last time as the form of his previous C&D win has been boosted Equion, Pinball Wizard, who hasn’t been under the care of James Owen for long, and Fools Rush In are feared most in that order.

WEIGHTWATCHER: KESSAAR POWER won off a handicap mark of 72, his rating is now down 16lb to 56.
LONGEST TRAVELLER: ANGEL AMADEA trained by R Menzies, Sedgefield, 180 miles.
It will be interesting if punters again latch on to OVERNIGHT OATS, who failed to vindicate their faith on debut for James Owen at Southwell recently but he’s fallen a long way in the weights (18lb lower than he was when runner-up at Epsom last September) and could be worth chancing. Liosa was beaten by Arlecchino’s Gift here last time but, armed with a 3lb pull, he is taken to reverse those placings and emerge as the main danger

LONGEST TRAVELLER: MATCH PLAY trained by P Midgley, Westow, 149 miles.
DARK SIDE PRINCE misfired in the Yarmouth handicap won by Match Play but he’s evidently more of a force on the all-weather and is taken to regain the winning thread here. Next on the list is Aces Wild, who goes well here and has a good chance of reversing last month’s C&D placings with Phoenix Beach on 3lb better terms. Catch Cunningham is feasibly treated and also merits respect. 1-2-3:
