The speedily-bred Emphatic showed plenty of potential in his first campaign and starts off in handicaps off what could prove to be a lenient mark. Paco Escostar finished runner-up twice on Catterick's sharp 5f last term and didn't get the run of the race when well supported on his reappearance at Carlisle. Life For Rent won a Ripon nursery in September but hasn't been able to build on that this campaign while Hamilton 6f winner Quayside may find a couple of these too sharp. LOULIN didn't show much in his opening campaign but attracted strong support on his return to action at Redcar only to find the prolific Eeh Bah Gum too strong. He's 1lb lower here and can gain compensation.
