Turned in a career-best effort when winning a 5f handicap at Chester (good to soft) last month and produced another when fifth in a Listed race at Ascot (5f, good to firm) since; further progress can't be ruled out in his current mood.

Big runs at York (5f/6f) on first three turf starts this year but found it much tougher since; Chester fourth on latest start (his first on softer than good) was his best in form terms but still suggests he will be vulnerable.

Big chance on this year's best efforts but his form dipped at York in June and last week's Great St Wilfrid seventh wasn't great either; unraced on slower than good; not sure what to expect.

J: Tom Kiely-Marshall

T: Brian Ellison

Sprang a 40-1 surprise on his stable debut at York (5f, good) in May and he showed better form in defeat on his next two starts (both at York; 5f and 6f on good ground); messed about at the start when disappointing at York seven weeks ago; still of major interest from a handicapping perspective judged on his run on June 13 and he's unexposed at 6f; contender.

Form & Verdict
Took well to AW when winning a 6f nursery at Chelmsford in November; hasn't always had the rub of the green since but latest C&D second was a good run and he goes off the same mark; big player if he gets away on terms.

Made all from the rail draw at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) last month, but she's not easy to predict and was out the back at Brighton last time; this drop back in trip is no problem, but she's drawn out wide and needs to step up again after that last run; stablemate of Hint Of Humour.

Form & Verdict
Promise for John Butler last summer and he's continued the good work for new yard, third in a maiden at Newcastle (6f) in December before his ready front-running success on handicap debut there (5f) 38 days ago; a 6lb rise is not obviously generous but he is unexposed at 5f and could well have more in the tank.

The winner of four of his last five starts, the latest at Southwell last week (6f); his only defeat during his golden spell came when dropped to this trip here a fortnight ago; could prove vulnerable under a 6lb penalty.

Progressive of late, despite having had plenty of racing, adding to his C&D win in May (off 9lb lower) when going in at Bath last time (off 3lb lower); there's other pace in here, however, and he'll need another career-best effort.

Failed to win in 13 starts for Alice Haynes but comes here chasing a hat-trick after wins at Southwell (novice) and Lingfield (Class 6 handicap); won by a wide margin in a good time on the latter occasion but this is a much deeper race and she's been hit with a 12lb rise.

Two 5f AW wins early in the year, the second of them by a wide margin at Lingfield; the handicapper has won the battle since and she was down the field returned to turf at Windsor three weeks ago; mark more realistic again now but she will need more to take this.

Pacy filly who registered back-to-back wins at Southwell and Lingfield (both 5f) earlier this year; disappointing in her next three runs but she got back on track with a front-running third at Wolverhampton (6f) 13 days ago; has already had 21 runs during her career but she has plenty of form on turf and could make a bold bid back in trip.
