Timeform run the rule over the lindley-catering.co.uk handicap...

Networker has endured a long barren spell, but he has a first-rate chance of getting back on track here, at the chief expense of Mudhish, who also comes here in good heart. Hobson may fare best of the rest.

Magnitude had his three-year-old campaign, which had started so well, curtailed through problems and he has not looked the same horse this year.

Mudhish matched his recent all-weather exploits when second off this mark over course and distance recently. There is no reason why he shouldn't be on the premises again.

Xpres Maite is useful on the all-weather and is edging back towards the mark he won off on turf last year but he faded tamely at Newmarket last time and others appear to boast stronger claims.

Divertimenti is a free-going sort who was successful off a similar mark at Lingfield in January. He has been below that level on his last two starts, though, and is hard to be confident about on his turf return.

Hobson was in command from a furlong out when making a winning reappearance over course and distance in April. He has performed creditably in defeat since, but is creeping up the weights and remains vulnerable.

Networker is on a long losing run but couldn't have gone much closer off this mark at Beverley recently, and has a good chance of ending the drought here.

Convallaria was a dual winner on the all-weather in 2008 and she has put in creditable efforts all starts in that sphere this year, but yet to prove as effective on turf.

Party In The Park has not shown much since winning a claimer at Leicester last summer, and refitted blinkers need to have a dramatic effect here (ran well only previous try).

Registrar was twice successful over this course and distance in 2008, but is struggling to recapture his best form this year.

Copperwood has a couple of creditable efforts to his name on the all-weather this year, but reliability is not his strongest point and this is a stiff task from 3 lb out of the handicap.
