George Boughey has a brilliant record when he sends one up to Redcar (13 wins from 40 at 33%) and his Classic Encounter has solid claims in the 1m handicap at 15:50.
The Shamardal gelding was a course and distance winner here last year and emerged second best of the bigger near-side group at Newmarket last time, suggesting he can go in again when things fall his way.
Getting a tow into this off Desert Shadow in a small field could be just the ticket and this Timeform top-rated looks poised to go well off his mark of 84.

Top-rated by 2lb and a Timeform Horse In Focus, Thornaby Annie looks the best bet on the card at Redcar in the 7f handicap at 16:20.
The three-year-old significantly came on for her Newcastle reappearance in a first-time hood at Doncaster last time, unlucky not to win on her first go at 7f, and she looks worth keeping on side at this trip.
Only up 1lb in the weights, this looks a good spot for her with the hood retained and Jack Nicholls taking off 5lb again.

Finally, Horse In Focus Bayraat looks worth siding with in the closing 6f handicap for Tom Tate.
He might be 10 now but this 0-60 amateur riders' race is not the strongest and he shaped well down in grade after 7 months off at Redcar last time, only going down to one that had had a run after racing up with the pace throughout.
In similar company he can go well from a prominent position under Mr Eireann Cagney.
