13:50 Thirsk

With further improvement a distinct possibility PFINGSTBERG looks a good bet to open his account here. He only went down half a length at Leicester last month with the front pair clear and then bumped into another progressive profile when runner-up at Windsor last time. That form looks solid and given he is unexposed over this trip if he steps forward again he should have these covered.

The danger could be Tiberio Force who looked back to form when runner-up at Catterick and off the same mark could get competitive. Ghostly was denied a hat-trick at Wolverhampton last time but was beaten less than a length so is another one worthy of consideration.
