Racing fresh after a break of 41 weeks. Odds of $21.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 7th last time at Thirsk. Likely to get back. Facing a difficult task.

Odds of $201.00 and clearly outclassed when 10th last run at Wolverhampton but having second race start. Competing in a lower grade. Down in trip. Very unlikely.

Fresh from a break of 28 weeks. Started $12.00 and ran 7th last start at Southwell but fitter for debut run. Likely to settle back in the field. Minor claims.
