Dubai Dynamo is a tough handicapper who was back to winning ways over C&D in May. Mostly at least respectable efforts since, but only seventh at Haydock on Saturday, and is held by stablemate Al Muheer on that effort.

Al Muheer was successful at Beverley (7.5f) and Thirsk (1m) in May, and bounced back to best when beaten a head by Atlantic Sport at Haydock on Saturday. Repeat of that effort will see him go very close.

Beaumont's Party won at Chester and Chepstow in a productive 2011 campaign for Andrew Balding, but disappointing over hurdles for current yard and fared no better in a couple of Flat outings this spring.

Honeymead has not scored since 2-y-o campaign, but often in the frame in handicaps, including when fourth at Thirsk last time when perhaps ridden with too much restraint. Has no secrets from the handicapper.

Snow Bay is a front runner who hasn't been at very best for a while, but hinted at better when runner-up here in May, and latest effort in bad ground at York is best excused. Not dismissed.

Sam Sharp was off for a year before scoring on debut for this yard at Haydock last spring, and runner-up first 2 starts this year prior to fifth at Sandown last month. Should get strong gallop which suits here.

Miami Gator is a tough campaigner who bounced back to form to make all at Hamilton last month for this apprentice, but well held under a penalty at Carlisle last time and isn't the easiest to predict these days.

Satanic Beat gained reward for some solid efforts when bagging a 1m Pontefract handicap last month, and stepped forward to finish second at Ayr last time. Not guaranteed the soft lead he requires here, though.

Koo and the Gang's sole turf win gained at Redcar last summer. Dropped to claiming company when respectable third at Chester, but failed to back that up at York since.

Timeform Verdict:
1. Al Muheer
2. Sam Sharp
3. Snow Bay

Timeform View: Al Muheer was only narrowly denied at Haydock on Saturday and will go close if able to repeat that effort. Sam Sharp has been knocking on the door and should have the race run to suit, while it would be no surprise if Snow Bay went well at a track where he's got a good record.
