THORNABY PEARL (7) handles soft ground and returns to his last winning mark. The Adrian Nicholls trained six-year-old receives a nice draw in gate three and is considered on the back of a fair fourth-placed finish over 6f at Ripon. B ASSOCIATES (1) won a claimer tackling this trip on AW at Wolverhampton earlier in the week. Respect revisiting handicap company under a 5lb penalty. GHATHANFAR (10) shaped as though it wouldn't be long until he rediscovered winning ways finishing sixth at Catterick last time. Not to be ignored down a further 2lb. Maintaining a good record in this grade OSO RAPIDO (3) warrants thought.
