HOPEFUL (4) looked to be travelling best before being reeled in over 1m2f on soft ground at Redcar last time. Dropping back to 1m is a real plus and trained by Andrew Balding can go one better this time around. Bath winner SIGNCASTLE CITY (7) might go close tackling the same trip if handling these forecast quicker conditions. AALTO (3) finished runner-up over course and distance earlier in the month. Cannot be left out of the equation. The in-form GREAT BLASKET (10) must be included making hat-trick bid following wins tackling 1m at Southwell and Yarmouth.
