Lacked consistency since handicapping but having Jack Callan taking over won't hurt down 2lb and this mark should be within range; one to consider.

J: David Egan

T: Tom Clover

Has proved ideally suited by 5f on good to firm and, despite taking a hefty rise for two June wins, he didn't take much urging to get to the front at Newmarket last time, before nudged out to hold the second; a further 5lb rise in a better race asks for more but he should be in contention; yard won this in 2019.

T: Tom Clover

Prominent racer who returned to form to win over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago and he followed up at Windsor (5f, good to firm) last Saturday, with the front two clear; up 6lb for last time and this is tougher, but he's clearly progressive; key player.

Recorded his 13th turf win when scoring in good style at Haydock (6f, good to firm) in April; struggled at York last time but that was a highly competitive Class 4 event and he was runner-up here (5f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can recapture that form and he's not ruled out on this drop back in grade.

T: Eve Johnson Houghton

Added to an earlier Windsor win when beating three rivals at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) last week; ran respectably in a less competitive C&D race than this in May but a tendency to get behind early is a worry in this big field and he's 3lb badly in under a penalty.

Has not had much luck and continues to give the impression that this mark, which is just 2lb higher than when winning at Windsor in the spring, is within range; another who tends to be ridden from off the pace and he wouldn't want a messy affair.

Two solid efforts for Roger Varian last summer, winning a 6f maiden at Lingfield (AW) on debut before finishing third under a penalty at Doncaster (6f, good to firm); not so good on his stable debut at Lingfield last month (after nine months off) but he looks to be on a fair mark for his handicap debut.

Back to his best since joining his current yard but he's shot up the weights and there have been some costly defeats to go with two AW wins; now 0-17 on turf, having pulled hard in a messy Bath affair last time, and will need a career-best effort to take this.
