Built on several promising efforts to come out on top for the first time this season at Nottingham in July. However, wasn't in the same form under a penalty over C&D last time.

Twenty four runs since last win in 2022 and has been in and out this season, running one of his lesser races at Hamilton (5f, good, 9/4) 30 days ago. Cheekpieces back on.

Resumed winning ways from the front at Epsom (5f) in April and has generally held his form well subsequently, posting a respectable fourth at Chelmsford (5f) on most recent outing. Solid each-way claims.

Won at Chester last year and stepped up on his comeback run at Bath. Shaped as if still in good form at Newmarket last week and remains well treated on what he was doing last year.

Yet to win this season but shaped well with a view to returning to 5f when fifth of 9 in 6f handicap at Thirsk (good) 24 days ago, giving way only late on. Interesting.

Revived by refitting of a visor when successful at Wolverhampton (5.1f) in January. Plenty of solid efforts in defeat since but wasn't at his best at Chester last time, merely closing up late.

Lightly raced 4-y-o who showed benefit of a recent run when landing 11-runner handicap at Newcastle (5f) in April, making all. Clearly not 100% on the day when tailed off at Musselburgh next time. Returns from a 3-month break.

Bettered his previous efforts this season refitted with a tongue strap when fifth at Catterick (7f) in June. Clearly not 100% when disappointing at Doncaster and quickly back on track when seventh at Thirsk last time.

Largely consistent in 2023, including a win at Nottingham, and stepped up on his Haydock reappearance when seventh over C&D 15 days ago, never nearer. Not taken lightly from a 3 lb lower mark.

Forecasts

Night On Earth (6/1), Ghathanfar (13/2), Strong Johnson (15/2), Soul Seeker (8/1), Woobay (8/1), Zarzyni (8/1), Bayraat (11/1), Golden Rainbow (11/1), Princess Karine (12/1), Birkenhead (14/1), Glendown (16/1), Faro De San Juan (22/1), Another Baar (25/1), Never Dark (28/1), Reigning Profit (28/1), Eeh Bah Gum (33/1), Fortunate Star (40/1), Leodis Dream (40/1), Whisky McGonagall (40/1)

Verdict

STRONG JOHNSON is on a very handy mark and, having shaped encouragingly with a view to a returning to this trip in a higher grade at Thirsk, he earns the vote. Woobay showed a good attitude to resume winning ways at Ripon on his most recent outing and is respected from only 2 lb higher in the weights, with Bayraat completing the shortlist.
