Highwaygrey has dropped to a dangerous mark and things didn't go his way at Pontefract last time but preference is for OCEAN HEIGHTS, who escapes a penalty for Saturday's 2l win in an apprentice handicap at Doncaster. It will be no surprise to see a much bigger performance from the lightly raced Steps In Time on his second start of the season.[Ben Hutton]

He has a superior strike-rate on AW and was below par at Pontefract (1m2f, good) last time; however, prior to that he went close on his reappearance at Beverley (1m4f, good) and is a player if rediscovering that form.
8yo who had looked regressive but he exploited a reduced mark at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) last Saturday; it was an apprentice handicap so he escapes a penalty; leading claims if backing up that latest performance.
9yo who has won just one of his last 17 starts but he was a respectable fourth at Pontefract (1m2f, good) last time in a race that wasn't run to suit; now 1lb below his last winning mark and he could be involved.
Displayed ability towards end of last year on first three starts (1m-9.4f, AW); down the field at 18-1 on recent turf/handicap debut at Ripon (1m2f, good) but this lightly raced 4yo is in good hands and there's potential in his pedigree; interesting to see if he's stronger in the betting today.
Won at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in March on second run back with this yard; unplaced on both runs since and could do with settling better than at Leicester (1m2f, good) latest, but he ran okay in fourth and is not ruled out.
Ran well when third in first-time visor (retained since) at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in March but a lesser run followed there (1m2f) and he's now 0-18; 2lb out of the handicap and others have more compelling claims.
