EL MATADOR (1) was 1. 5L third in a Class 2 handicap over 1m at Newcastle providing latest appearance. Placed on all four starts this season and a drop in grade gives him strong claims. Sets the standard. RETURN TO UNIT (2) won a Class 4 handicap by 3. 75L attempting 1m1/2f at Nottingham last time. Considerable rise in weights demands more however he rates the main danger. DWINDLING FUNDS (10) followed two seconds with a 0. 75L success tackling 1m at York when last seen. Previous course-and-distance form gives him some appeal. DOUBLE PARKED (8) improved to win by 0. 5L attempting 1m2 1/2f at York. Return to 1m1f should suit. Cannot be discounted.
