Vantheman
VANTHEMAN goes well fresh and won his sole previous all-weather start over this C&D. He can make a winning return down in grade, though Night Storm has made impressive strides since returning from a layoff, winning twice including over course and distance, and looks capable of further progress on handicap debut. Of the rest, Arnhem went close in this grade here earlier in the season and could be in the mix.

Fifth of 18 at York (15/2) last October, performing better than result suggests due to high draw disadvantage. Has won off higher marks and drop in grade/return to AW (successful sole previous AW start over this C&D) could see him resume winning ways.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosYork5fGoodFlat5/18Haydock Park6fGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat7/12York5f 89yGoodFlat6/14York5f 89yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat10/20Hamilton Park6f 6yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat12/14- 1(7)Night StormJ: Hector CrouchT: James Tate0/11-Age 413/811/86/4

Promising colt with 2 wins since returning from layoff, showing significant improvement. Won 5f novice race at Wolverhampton (10/11) by 2 lengths 58 days ago after earlier success at this course/distance.

Consistent Newcastle 5f performer with 3 course wins, won by 1¼ lengths as 2/1 favourite in 8-runner handicap last March shrugging off a 6lb rise. First run for new trainer and market can guide hat-trick chances following 324-day absence.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewcastle5fStandardFlat1/8Newcastle5fStandardFlat1/9Newcastle5fStandardFlat5/9Newcastle5fStandardFlat2/12Newcastle5fStandardFlat3/7- 5(5)King's CrownJ: S.

Won over C&D 21 days ago but finished last of 5 in handicap (15/2) 9 days ago, having to make challenge from further back than front pair.

Has shown useful form in AW handicaps at Newcastle, including a close third of 11 in this grade (17/2) 56 days ago. Disappointed when seventh of 10 in 6f handicap (7/2) 24 days ago, beaten 6½ lengths. Worth another chance and should be more competitive back down at this 5f trip.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewcastle6fStandardFlat7/10Newcastle5fStandardFlat7/9Newcastle6fStandardFlat3/11Newcastle6fStandardFlat5/13Pontefract5f 3ySoftFlat12/12- 6(8)Pop StarJ: Andrew MullenT: Iain Jardine242346-Age 622/118/120/1

Quirky type who placed in handicaps last summer and autumn, finished 6th of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (18/1) 24 days ago, shaping as if needing the run on stable debut.
