HOW BIZARRE (NAP) was winning for the fifth time here when making all in an apprentice's race here last month where he had Chinese Spirit just over a length behind. The winner is up 4lb but Aiden Brookes can claim an extra 2lb here so track victory number six looks on the cards. Tacitus also arrives in winning form having scored for the first time in 18 starts at Redcar but Propagation, despite a narrow defeat at Ayr, is still a maiden after 19 starts. Shine On Brendan is ultra-consistent but the assessor can't drop him and he's been beaten off this mark and lower in his last six runs.
