A typically wide-open sprint. Chester winner Bossipop, Pontefract 5f winner Cosmic Chatter and recent course and distance winner Jaywalker all step up a grade off higher marks. Harwoods Volante beat Kenny The Captain at Yarmouth last month, while Hawkeyethenoo and Showboating both finished closer last time and could be on the way back. King Robert has not raced since April and drops in class for his return but ANOTHER WISE KID gets a speculative vote to bounce back having won a Class 2 sprint off a 5lb higher mark last term.
