Dr Keith Howard OBE Memorial Handicap · 5f
Every runner. Every signal. One decision.
Handles most ground but all of his four wins have been on good to firm; last success was at Ayr (5f) 12 months ago but that was on his reappearance and he's only 1lb higher for today's return; needs a close look after 221 days off.
Ten-time course winner who ended last season with two wins (6f/5f) at Ripon; struggled on Thirsk reappearance last month but he doesn't have a great record when fresh and he's not ruled out back at his favoured track; acts on good to firm and soft.
He has returned from a six-month break in rude health, winning at Wolverhampton and over C&D (second C&D success) last month and running well in his hat-trick bid at Ripon a fortnight ago; wide draw not ideal for a front-runner but he isn't handicapped out of things; trainer also runs Jojo Rabbit.
Best on good/firmer; 14-time winner who showed clear signs of a return to form at Ripon last time, finishing third; enters calculations off 6lb below last winning mark.
Hold-up performer who scored at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in January but he's not hit the same level since and has finished eighth in his three runs (Tapeta/turf); on dangerous mark but he has something to prove and slow starts can be an issue.
Multiple sprint handicap wins since 2022, all on soft or slower; back in action with a good fourth of 17 at Doncaster in March and, although he hasn't done as well since, he'd come into it if there's significant rain.
Admirable veteran who recorded his 11th win when making all at Nottingham (5f, good) last month; not disgraced at Ripon next time; should make another bold bid.
