Handicappers' nap

Les's Legacy (4.18 Hexham)

Took advantage of a favourable handicap mark to win decisively over course and distance last month and a 6lb rise for that win is negated by Ben Smith's 7lb claim.

Eyecatcher

Kidman (2.48 Hexham)

Simon Waugh’s nine-year-old was challenging before stumbling at the last at Kelso and can make amends now dropping in grade.

The Punt nap

Cudgel (3.48 Hexham)

Career-best Racing Post Rating came over this course and distance on a better surface but he hasn't tackled those conditions in almost three years. He shaped better than the result last time and could be ready to take advantage of a good mark now back up in trip for James Walton.

Speed figures

Calumet (3.35 Pontefract)

Did not enjoy the run of the race on his Kempton return last month but Marco Botti's four-year-old is lightly raced and granted the rub of the green can make his presence felt.

Moor End (7.10 Warwick)

Has some useful form and could improve for first-time cheekpieces.

Dark horse

Reagrove Lord (4.18 Hexham)

He ran well at Ayr two starts ago, finishing second to a well-backed rival. He back down in trip, which should bring out the best in him.
