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 ½-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 Blue Yonder are also accorded respect.

    Verdict
    33/1 and blinkered for 1st time, he took a step back in the right direction when a very good ½-length second of 10 to Urban Road on debut for new yard in a handicap at this course (8.6f) 16 days ago. Should give another good account.

    5/1, bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 17 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Not without each-way hope on tapeta debut.

    Verdict
    C&D winner. Eight wins from 28 runs last year, the latest at Lingfield in November. Seventh of 9 in handicap (5/1) at this course (14f) 59 days ago, hampered. Significantly back down in trip and he's opposable.

    Verdict
    10/3, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this course (8.6f) 16 days ago by ½ length from Show Biz Kid. 2 lb nudge fair enough and should make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick with top amateur Sam Walker in the hot-seat.

    Verdict
    Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 11/4, fifth of 8 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 30 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Looks vulnerable.

    Verdict
    C&D winner. 12/1, won 11-runner handicap under Megan Jordon at Lingfield (10f, AW) 33 days ago, proving a neck too strong for Blue Yonder. Suited by way race developed on that occasion but, even so, she won a shade cosily and a 2 lb rise is easy to swallow.

    Verdict
    Tricky customer. 6-time course winner. Sixth of 8 in handicap (12/1) at this course (8.6f) 30 days ago. Given a chance by the handicapper but others look stronger all the same.

    Verdict
    11/4, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 18 days ago, well on top finish. Shapes as though this trip will be within range and he has to be feared now bidding for the hat-trick on debut for new yard.

    Verdict
    C&D winner. 11/2, creditable 2½ lengths third of 7 to Urban Road in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 23 days ago. Blinkers back on and, now 3 lb better off with the aforementioned rival, he should make his presence felt.
