MACKCOOL (6) turned in a plain effort last time when fifth at this track over 480m behind Tyne Tees Richie (30.16) in an A2. Tough to beat if on-song. BUICKS HOPE (2) went down narrowly last time, finishing a neck second behind Greenhill Jazz in 29.31 and recording a new PB this course and distance. Expected to feature again. ALNWICK MARTYN (3) followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound second, beaten 2 lengths, last start in an A7 at this track over 480m (29.62). Returns to the handicaps here and will break from the 8m mark. Deserves another chance. BLACKHOUSE JEAN (5) has struggling of late. Finished fifth two starts back at this track then when off 4m in a handicap and was again out of the placings at this track over 480m (29.98). Jumps with a 7m advantage.
