Hat-trick seekers NORTHERN CRACKSMAN and Urban Road both make plenty of appeal Marginal preference is for the former, who has won his last two starts in decisive fashion and this stiffer test could be the catalyst for further progress. Show Biz Kid returned to form when beaten 1/2-length by Urban Road here recently and he shouldn’t be far away if able to back that up, while last month’s Lingfield 1-2 Ellexis and BlueYonder are also accorded respect.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: RETURN WITH GOLD trained by O Pears, Malton, 145 miles.
The well-bred GEMMARI took a sizeable step forward when going close off this mark on his handicap debut at Kempton last month and can go one better here. Ray Gun and Return With Gold both improved for the switch to handicaps on their latest starts, too, scoring at Kempton and Newcastle respectively, and rate the main dangers in that order of preference. The Kamikaze King could also have a part to play if able to build on his latest effort.
