Improved, albeit beat very little, when landing a handicap by 3 1/2l off this mark at Newcastle last time. Absent for a very lengthy period; effective over 2m4f-3m and acts with cut; returns off a generous mark but may just need this.

At The Races Verdict

It's hard to get away from THROATLASH, who beat a subsequent winner when completing the hat-trick over C&D last month and looks to have lots in his favour. A 5lb rise for that success could be lenient and the seven-year-old can get the better of Irish raider Bythesametoken, who is an interesting contender after his victory at Listowel last September. The unexposed The Bluesman and Anyharminasking are others to note.

Expert View Verdict

Throatlash is highly progressive, winning three on the trot and looking to improve again for the step up to this trip at Haydock last time. A further 5lb rise shouldn't hold him back, but THE BLUESMAN surely has a bigger effort in him yet, being given a poor ride by Sean Bowen when runner-up at Leicester last time. His rider gave him far too much to do but he ran on well from the last and he's taken to defy a 4lb rise despite this being a more competitive race. Irish runner Bythesametoken is a 12yo now and faces a tougher task than when winning well at Listowel on reappearance, but he can still get competitive.
