This looks wide open with more than half of the field having won previously over course and distance. Havagomecca has won twice at the track but Jordan Electrics is 0-9 here, though arrives in good form. Only beaten half-a-length by Albegone at Catterick last month, JOJO RABBIT is 2lb better off and has had excuses in both starts since. Well treated on his best form, Ruth Carr’s charge can end a long losing run. Locally-trained Sixcor won when last here and Le Beau Garcon drops down a grade as does Ripon runner-up Vadamiah, though the top weight has been done no favours by the draw. Wee Fat Mac may be the pick of the remainder.
