Racing Post Ratings: Sam Walker
Baghdad (5.40 York)
Posted big career-best when stepped up to 1m2f on his penultimate start and ran a race full of promise despite things not going his way on return to action at Wolverhampton last time.
Topspeed: Dave Edwards
Berkshire Royal(4.45 Newbury)
Just failed in his hat-trick bid at Chester eight days ago but, from the foot of the handicap, he has a fine chance to gain deserved compensation.
Longshot: Tom Bull
Count Octave (3.30 York)
Needs to improve but is unexposed over staying distances and is the type to progress further as a four-year-old.
Ireland: Tony O'Hehir
Banksoftheshannon (6.15 Downpatrick)
A good second in a 26-runner handicap hurdle at Leopardstown in December, he can prove a mark of 100 underestimates his abilities with victory on his first start since that near miss.
