Tongue strap on for 1st time, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Southwell (5f, 5/1) 16 days ago. Merits serious consideration despite a 3 lb rise.

14/1

Off since posting a good third of 14 in handicap at this C&D 149 days ago. Has won when fresh though so he's expected to be bang there off a handy-looking mark.

Forecasts

Paddy's Day (5/2), Miss Attitude (3/1), Bergerac (7/2), Buzz Box (4/1), Fahrenheit Seven (7/1), Prince Of Pillo (8/1), Mondammej (9/1), Ventura Express (14/1), Tees Spirit (20/1)

A competitive sprint but BUZZ BOX arrives on an upward curve so is fancied to defy a career-high mark and complete his hat-trick at the chief expense of the handily-weighted Ventura Express who has won when fresh. Multiple C&D victor Paddy's Day and recent Southwell scorer Miss Attitude can both have a say too.
