Timeform talk us through the prospects of all the runners in the BODDINGTONS REDCAR STRAIGHT-MILE CHAMPIONSHIP STAKES (HANDICAP) (4)...

Wovoka and Just Bond have to be seriously considered in their current form, but there is every chance that Bere Davis could get his own way out in front here, and will prove difficult to peg back if that proves to be the case.

Charlie Tipple wound up last season with a career best effort when winning over this course and distance, but he has never won off a mark as high as this and usually needs a run to put him straight.

Just Bond was fit from the all-weather when gaining a narrow success at Musselburgh recently. A 2-lb rise looks fair enough, and there is no reason why he shouldn't go well again.

Wovoka ended a long losing run when taking advantage of a declining mark at Newcastle earlier this month, but unreliability has been a problem in the past and it remains to be seen whether he has turned the corner.

Spin Again shaped as though he was coming to hand on his second run back for his new yard at Catterick last time but both of his career wins have come over shorter.

Bere Davis finished last season on a low note, but went much more sweetly from the front when runner-up on his reappearance, and a return to this longer trip should suit.

Stoic Leader is a tough sort who continues to run respectably on the all-weather. He is better on turf, though, and couldn't be ruled out if returning to the same form he was in at this time last year.

Another Decree coped with a firm surface well enough when getting off the mark in a six-furlong maiden last summer but he was well beaten in a handicap next time and has to prove his stamina over this longer trip on his reappearance
