4 yo Colt

Form & Verdict
0-9 in handicaps and doesn't look solid on his middle-distance form this term; however, gives the impression this return to 1m and addition of blinkers may prove beneficial; interesting off a reduced mark.

Five-time winner (all on good to firm); has finished third here on his last two outings, including behind Tronido over C&D ten days ago (good to soft), and in this race last year behind that same rival (soft; beaten around 7l); solid claims.

Best known as a Brighton specialist but also runs this track well; needs to rebound from disappointing C&D run four weeks ago but looked in good nick when scoring at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) in June; shortlisted.

Ten-time winner whose last success was over C&D in May; hasn't made a serious impact since then but he did best of the hold-up performers here (fifth of 11) here last time and is now back on his last winning mark; dangerous.

Versatile 7yo who has won ten times at up to 1m; hasn't made an impact since his Leicester win (6f, good to firm) in May but he had lots of traffic issues at Newbury three weeks ago; can put a line through that and he's a player if he gets some luck this time.

Versatile ground-wise and has won one of just two C&D starts; in good form this year, adding to an earlier Sandown win (good to firm) with a powerful display at Epsom (about 1m, good to soft) on Thursday; likely to give a good show under penalty with Billy Loughnane up for the first time.

T: Tony Carroll

Recorded the 18th win of his long career when leading late over C&D in February (for Myla Coppins); ran well behind a thriving rival at Lingfield next time but he failed to fire over C&D a fortnight ago (finished behind Coloane); he has bounced back from quiet runs before so can't be ruled out.

18th success of his long career when getting the better of Antiquity (winner since and runs in the 6.00) over C&D last month; bumped into an in-form opponent at Lingfield two weeks ago (7f; blinkered first time); another 2lb rise is not ideal but he is likely to give his running.

T: Tony Carroll

Well into the veteran stage but he retains plenty of enthusiasm and ran on well to beat a subsequent winner (Age Of Time third) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) three weeks ago, his 18th success; a 2lb rise not excessive but late in the day to be giving blinkers a go (has run well in new headgear before).

Form & Verdict
All of his handicap form is over middle distances, including course win (off this mark) for previous yard; inconsistent for current stable but last few efforts suggest this return to 1m is worth exploring.
