SCHALKE (6) improved on each of his two starts this season placing twice including last time out when 4.5L second at Bangor-on-Dee. With a useful claimer on board may secure first success in two years. Main pick. LADY IN THE PARK (5) switched back to hurdling after three unsuccessful attempts chasing. Last hurdle outing in April saw him finish 5.25L fifth. Down in weight and secures leading claiming rider. Main danger. TIGER JET (1) could not follow up his 1.25L Cartmel victory finishing downfield when 20L fourth at Worcester. Arrives fresh from a 94-day break. Best time to catch him. CITY DERBY (3) might rediscover his earlier season form. Possibilities.
