TIMEFORM VIEW Stepped up on reappearance effort when narrowly beaten at Doncaster in May. Had a couple of months off and ultimately paid the price for getting racing with the long-time leader early in the straight when third at Leicester 3 weeks ago. Remains one to be positive about. TFRHHHHH BHA80

TIMEFORM VIEW Standout effort this year came when runner-up at Wolverhampton in May. First-time blinkers failed to make much of an impact at Chester last month (went left under pressure) but claimer takes a useful 7lb off his back so he’s impossible to discount.

PLAY SMARTER
A tightly-knit handicap in which MAJESTIC FIGHTER is put forward as the answer. Harry & Roger Charlton’s charge seemingly paid the price for trying to keep tabs on the long-time leader at Leicester 3 weeks ago so, if ridden with a bit more restraint today, he’s fancied to notch career win number 2. Global Esteem is back down to his last winning mark so he shades the vote for the forecast spot over Last Hoorah.
