J: Joe Bradnam

T: Michael Bell

Minor honours in half of his eight races, including twice on AW (once C&D) last month; hanging left did not help the cause when favourite at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) 11 days ago but that experiment with a longer trip is abandoned and a tongue-tie is enlisted.

9st 10lb

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Michael Bell

He's beginning to look exposed despite just the seven races; last month's fourth at Kempton and third at Southwell (both 1m on AW) were his first returns this year; needs to find a bit extra and this longer trip is worth a go.

Lightly raced gelding who had no trouble with this trip on his second run back from wind surgery at Kempton three weeks ago (behind Alkumatic Jo Jo; Roi De Coeur some way back in fifth); this mark seems within range.

J: Callum Shepherd

Twice runner-up as 2yo (6f); made some return to form after wind surgery when beaten 3l at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) where he got behind before running on; this extra furlong could benefit.

J: Ross Coakley

T: Michael Bell

Made low-key seasonal/handicap debut when 13th of 19 at Ascot (6f, good) in May but had wind surgery during subsequent 12-week break and is dropped in grade for this AW debut; moves up in trip; could still have significant potential.
