Handicappers’ nap
Marty McFly (1.05 Musselburgh)
Went backwards after making a winning debut over fences in the summer but shaped encouragingly over a trip that stretched him here last time and this looks a good opportunity under Brian Hughes.

Eyecatcher
Another Run (4.15 Southwell)
Rod Millman’s gelding shaped a bit better than the bare form over 2m last time and, having won over today’s 1m4f the time before, he shouldn’t be inconvenienced by the drop back in distance.

The Punt nap
Callianassa (4.05 Newcastle)
Dual course-and-distance winner who returned from a break with a fine third back here last month. She shaped as if she would come on for the run and looks a big player for Brian Ellison off an unchanged mark in this weaker race.
Harry Wilson
Jky: Ben Robinson Tnr: Brian Ellison
Speed figures
Just Golden (12.15 Cheltenham)
Unable to justify favouritism in both starts over hurdles but has posted some good speed figures in defeat. The form of his last race has worked out well and he can improve further.
George Bonds
Jky: Harry Skelton Tnr: Dan Skelton
West Country nap
Man Oh Man (2.55 Exeter)
Eyecatcher when third last time. Top jockey booked and stiffer test should suit.
James Stevens
Jky: Ben Jones Tnr: D Summersby
Dark horse
Wellington Arch (2.50 Windsor)
Shaped better than the bare result when third at Punchestown in May. Lacks a recent run but he’s open to further improvement this season and has conditions in his favour.
