Verdict
Thackeray landed a double last month but is upped in class off a 5lb higher mark in a bid for his hat-trick. TOYMAKER has also won his last couple of starts, including a three-length victory at Pontefract last time when looking a step ahead of the handicapper. He may have enough improvement left to defy an 8lb rise here. Postscript has won twice on Polytrack this year and should be thereabouts while Cono Zur remains on a winning mark after bouncing back to form at Wolverhampton on his latest outing. President Lincoln has scope for further progress if forgiven a modest effort at Catterick last time.
