9st 9lb

J: Ashley Lewis

T: Joseph Parr

His last win was 11 months ago but he's a reliable type who has been placed at Chester (7.6f, good) and Chelmsford (7f, AW) in last two runs; finished behind Finbar's Lad last time but he's 5lb better off with that rival and should go well again back on turf.

Form & Verdict
Still to add to his two 2yo AW wins at the end of 2022 but bettered a low-key seasonal/stable debut when keeping-on fourth here (6f, good to firm) last month and looks worth a crack at this longer trip.

His last win was over C&D but that was in a novice in December 2022; very well treated on old form but he's faded in his five runs this year and was beaten 15l at Chepstow (7-2) last time; had a difficult track position in that race but he needs a big turnaround back in trip.

No win since late 2022; has dropped in the weights and his reappearance effort at Doncaster wasn't a bad run but he failed to build on it at Salisbury a fortnight ago; others appeal more.

Form & Verdict
Has gradually worked her way back to form this season and looked very well suited by the return to 7f when keeping on well for clearcut success at Epsom (good) three weeks ago; 5lb higher in a higher-grade race here but evidently in good nick.

J: James Glennon

Her four wins have included one over this C&D (good to soft) and she's now 1lb below the most recent of those successes; left the impression her first start for 192 days was needed when weakening at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 10 days ago and she should appreciate this drop in grade; contender.

Form & Verdict
Suffered dip in form after very promising debut in January (6f, AW) but, with tongue-tie fitted, shaped well when fourth on handicap debut at Sandown (7f, good) a fortnight ago; that form was given a good boost by the winner on Thursday and this fellow might be better suited by this easier 7f.

Runner-up in two of his six starts on turf, the latest at Salisbury (7f, good) in May, and he may have just needed the run at Lingfield (7f, good) 11 days ago; one of his half-brothers won on the AW and so did his dam, so he may find a bit more improvement for the new surface.

Form & Verdict
Speedy and quite useful as a 2yo but yet to make a significant impact after four starts this season; continues to slip down the weights but the addition of cheekpieces didn't appear to help much at Doncaster last month and he's not the most obvious answer here.
