Eyecatcher

Middleton View  (4.07 Pontefract) 

Finished off strongly at Kempton on his first start since a gelding operation and should have more to offer now handicapping for Clive Cox, who won this last year.

Handicappers' nap

Imperial Jade (3.50 Carlisle)

Late errors reduced the winning margin of her latest win and Charlie Longsdon's progressive mare could still be ahead of her mark despite a 4lb rise for that Huntingdon success.

The Punt nap

Partisan Hero (5.12 Pontefract)

Won over this trip at Kempton last time out and David Loughnane's five-year-old will be tough to beat if allowed to dictate from the front again.

Speed figures

Dark Cloud Rising (4.07 Pontefract)

Clocked an excellent figure when winning a maiden at Thirsk and did well next time at Haydock. Probably found the ground too soft and the company too hot when disappointing in York Listed race.

Dark Horse

Heretic (8.00 Southwell)

Has shown promise in two course-and-distance handicaps over the last month and was slightly unlucky when finishing fourth last week. Remains on a handy mark and should go well.
