Verdict

ZEEZEE rather bumped into one at Sedgefield last time and is taken to go one better now, perhaps at the expense of last month's Kelso scorer Take A Hike. Kelvin Forlonge rates a possible improver in handicaps, while Shoeshine Boy is well handicapped if able to build on his latest Hexham third.

Verdict
Promise when placed twice last season and came good back from a break at Kelso (21f, good to soft) 23 days ago. The return to 3m a help if anything and a 5 lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid.

Verdict
Lightly-raced sort who has shaped well when runner up in handicaps at Perth (3m) and Sedgefield (21f) this autumn. Behind a subsequent dual winner at Sedgefield and can go well here off an unchanged mark.

Verdict
Former C&D winner who is now 10 lb lower than when successful on soft ground at Hexham last autumn. Step back in the right direction when third of 10 at Hexham last month and has obvious handicapping scope if he can build on that.

Verdict
Got off the mark over hurdles in 21f course handicap (heavy) in January. Backed that up when third at Wetherby later that month but arrives with something to prove having pulled up in a Hexham hurdle and Kelso chase on his last 2 outings.

Completed a hat-trick in the second half of 2023 but has struggled to reached the same heights since, pulling up on last 2 starts. The cheekpieces and tongue tie he's worn of late are now left off and replaced by first-time blinkers.
