After a first career victory at Catterick, The Grey Zebedee looks to follow up here under a penalty but others are preferred. Jordan Electrics isn’t badly treated but appears to have gone off the boil but Kaafy has claims back over his best trip. NORTHERN SOCIETY is a fast-ground specialist and has been slipping down the handicap lately. He is now 4lb lower than when landing the spoils over track and trip in May on a similar surface. Gleniffer drops to the minimum distance for the first time on his handicap debut and may have more scope than Montalvan and Amazing Alba.
