J: Pat Cosgrave

T: Jim Boyle

Ten-race maiden but he's finished runner-up in three of his five runs this season and wasn't beaten far when fourth of five at Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) last time; looks worth a try at this new trip and he's in the mix back on AW.

Gradually getting there, beaten under a length here (1m2f, good) in April and going down by a short head in a 14-runner event at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) last month, finishing nicely clear of the rest; up 4lb, but still looks the one to beat.

0-16 but made brave bold from the front before weakening into third at Epsom (1m4f, good) last month and faced impossible task when second of four behind well-handicapped rival here (1m6f, good to firm) a week ago; ought to be suited by this drop back in trip; dangerous if allowed to dominate.

Much better on his handicap debut/comeback and simply bumped into one at a short price at Redcar (gone on to win three more); longer trip should be fine on pedigree and his claims are obvious.

Opened account at eighth attempt, with clearcut success in five-runner Brighton classified (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; that form isn't anything to get too excited about but the runner-up has won in that grade since and this filly might still have more to offer.

A maiden after seven starts but would probably have preferred a stronger pace to aim at when keeping-on fourth at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last month; another 2lb lower here and has a fighting chance if first-time cheekpieces have positive effect.

In good form on the AW lately, getting off the mark at the seventh attempt at Wolverhampton (8.6f) this month; 4lb rise is fair enough, but she ran poorly in her only start on turf at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) in May which does leave her with questions to answer.
