Handicappers' nap

Hideaway Vic (3.00 Plumpton)

Has run well behind some decent sorts in novice company and could prove well treated on his handicap bow if a recent wind operation has been beneficial.

Ace tipster

Ask The Weatherman (3.30 Plumpton)

Massive drop in handicap and top claimer on board makes him hard to resist in this company.
Paul Kealy

Newmarket nap

Brenbar (6.00 Wolverhampton)

Looked to be getting the hang of things when fourth over course and distance last time and has since moved well on Warren Hill.
David Milnes

West Country nap

Cap Du Mathan (1.30 Plumpton)

Has been knocking on the door in better company and can make the most of a drop in grade.
Andrew King

Eyecatcher

Sol De Mayo (4.15 Kelso)

Looked a likely winner turning in but maybe if his jockey had his time again he would have held on to him for a bit longer. Even though swallowed up, he showed plenty of ability and this half-brother to hurdle winner Bordoni can win a similar race.

Speed figures

Cap Du Mathan (1.30 Plumpton)

Has reached the frame twice this term, met an above average performer last time and can get off the mark.
Dave Edwards

Spotlight nap

Mount Wellington (6.30 Wolverhampton)

Very solid record at this track since wearing a hood, with two wins flanking a narrow defeat. He beat a subsequent scorer last time and may have even more to offer in the retained headgear.

Dark horse

Taxmeifyoucan (1.45 Kelso)

Won two of his last four starts including a similar race at Carlisle two runs back. Trainer Keith Dalgleish boosts an impressive 26 per cent strike-rate at the venue and he should go close in this small field.
