Form & Verdict
C&D winner who just missed out in a head-bobbing finish over C&D 12 days ago (made the running); a 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run; more appealing than most from the inside stall.

He has been threatening in modest 7f handicaps on turf this summer and he has a 7f AW win on his CV; no obvious reason why he wouldn't give another good account.

Form & Verdict
Took a long time to click for this yard but he's found his feet again this year, beating The Charmer over C&D in June and adding a 7f classified at Musselburgh to his tally 16 days ago; handicap mark left unchanged for that win and he should have a big run in him.

Form & Verdict
Chased home Monaadhil over C&D in June and he has held his form well since, getting off the mark in a 0-50 classified event at Brighton last month (1m, good to firm); drawn widest but he has cheekpieces enlisted for the first time and Hollie Doyle is back on board; not ruled out.
