Breaking Records went up 5lb for scoring over the track and trip and that appeared to anchor him at Thirsk. WAHOO (NAP) had some smart juvenile form and made a successful reappearance in a Class 3 handicap at Doncaster in April. He went up 7lb and was tried in a higher grade contest at Newmarket but found it tough and this is his level. Lethal Lunch won over this trip at Ascot a year ago and over 7f here last month. He again ran well in a better race at Sandown a couple of weeks ago and should get involved. Royal Residence made a promising handicap debut over the course and distance in May and can only get better but Mutabaahy has struggled since landing a Class 6 Thirsk handicap. Neither of the remaining pair can be dismissed in a tight handicap.
