Handicappers’ nap
Farmer Jimmy (4.50 Wetherby)
Wetherby regular has posted two of his best Racing Post Ratings over this course and distance. With Paddy Barlow taking off 7lb, he’s weighted to run well in an open-looking handicap hurdle.

Eyecatcher
Cargin Bhui (8.00 Newcastle)
Couldn’t quite nail a hat-trick last time but did well to be beaten just a neck after the race hadn’t really set up for his hold-up style. A 2lb nudge shouldn’t stop another big effort from in-form gelding.

The Punt nap
Eazy On The Eye (5.00 Newcastle)
Unfortunate to lose the race in the stewards’ room at Wolverhampton last Friday after a career-best effort on the all-weather and makes a 278-mile journey to run off the same mark.

Speed figures
Pit Boss (6.00 Newcastle)
Good speed figure when winning over course and distance last time and runs off the same mark.

West Country nap
Bras D’Or (3.20 Wetherby)
Has shown promise behind decent types and should improve for the switch to handicapping and step up in distance.

Jky: Jack Tudor Tnr: David Pipe
Dark horse
Concert Boy (5.00 Newcastle)
Broke poorly last time but kept on to finish a close sixth, two lengths behind the winner. Can go well with a better start here.
