DAKOTA CANYON went close at Pontefract but couldn't cope in a higher grade in testing ground at Beverley last time. He gets a token vote back at this level. Mysterial ran well at Musselburgh in between more modest efforts but Tectonic makes some appeal with a recent pipe-opener under his belt. Mash Potato has claims if the ground loosens up while Gabrial's Hope showed a bit more at Newcastle last time having tumbled down the weights this year.
