A competitive 7f handicap despite the small field with the vote in favour of ACQUISITOR. He's been in red-hot form, completing the hat-trick at Chester (7.6f) last month, and looks sure to go close again. Northbound took a step back in the right direction at Thirsk and can feature, along with Mellys Flyer and Russco.
