Pulsating has yet to win on Turf and Billyoakes hasn’t scored on this surface since 2014. But LE MANEGE ENCHANTE is only 2lb higher than when successful at Thirsk last season and he gets the nod on his reappearance in a weak handicap. Arnold won at Ripon last May and also returns to action while Oriental Relation landed a double at Pontefract at this time last year and Coastal Cyclone slides further down the weights.
