Latest effort (1m, turf) suggests this new trip is worth exploring; has shown best form on AW and returns to this sphere off a handy mark with Jack Nicholls taking off a bonus 3lb.

J: Callum Shepherd

Won at Wolverhampton (8.5f; from 3lb lower) in March but has been way short of her best since, including tried in blinkers and a visor on her last two starts at Lingfield (7.5f) and Wolverhampton (8.5f) respectively; no reason to anticipate better reverting to turf; risky.

Nothing in first three starts but improved plenty when making a successful nursery debut at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) in December; off three months since and 4lb higher, but he still has cope for further improvement; respected.

Progressive sort who bids for a hat-trick under a 6lb penalty after two wins at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack); finished runner-up here (8.6f,) in March and hard to dismiss in his current mood.

Generally progressive gelding who made it 2-5 in handicaps when surging clear over C&D 13 days ago; up 8lb but he still looks feasibly treated and is a major player again for in-form yard.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: James Fanshawe

Comfortable win with hood removed on handicap debut at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) in December; held in his three runs since but his second at Wolverhampton was a creditable effort in March and he was drawn widest when sixth of 14 at Kempton last time; holds major claims.

Form & Verdict
In fine form on the AW this year (21132511) including a win over C&D; another 6lb penalty for his Newcastle success (7f, Tapeta) a week ago will make life harder, but this doesn't look a competitive race; major player.

Showed signs of a revival back from a break when fifth on stable debut at Kempton (1m) three weeks ago; was beaten less than 3l in that race and he's now 8lb lower than for his win at Newcastle (7f) last spring; one to keep an eye on.

Form & Verdict
Showed some ability on turf/Polytrack for Eve Johnson Houghton last year but quiet the last twice, as when last of six in a first-time visor (new removed) on stable debut at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) last month; much more needed.
