9st 9lb

J: Callum Shepherd

Only 1-28, though the win did at least come this year (at Wolverhampton, 8.6f); returning to 1m is probably a good thing but his record fresh is nothing to shout about.

Damascus Finish

9st 13lb

J: William Carson

T: Brett Johnson

Belatedly opened account at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March and was third over 1m in his next three races (twice on Polytrack); claims if judged on that evidence but is yet to convince over 1m2f and needs to bounce back from a duff effort on turf three weeks ago.

J: William Carson

Took a long time to get off the mark but he hit the target at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March and has held his form with three thirds since, including on turf at Brighton (1m, good) on his penultimate run; should be in the mix again on this step back up in trip and he's respected.

All three wins at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta), though he has been placed three times from eight starts over this C&D; a losing run of 38 isn't ideal, though; blinkers return.

All wins have come over 6f here, though he has gone close over this trip at Southwell; fair fourth of nine here (6f) a fortnight ago, but a record of 3-82 does suggest a degree of caution.

Often pulled hard in the past and has lost the plot in recent times; the tongue-tie goes back on as he ventures beyond an extended 1m for the first time; will need to settle much better if he's to see it out.

Stamina issues over hurdles and happier back on the Flat when coming away with Voodoo Bay over C&D a week ago; is 5lb better off today, which gives her every chance of turning things round for a yard in good nick, but she's 0-17 under both codes.

She did not progress for her previous stable but ran creditably in a 7f handicap at Kempton last summer, a run that offers some hope; new yard quick to drop her back in trip and try blinkers (wore cheekpieces when tailed off over 1m latest); possible she will do better here.

Verdict

There are a couple of unexposed sorts in the field, the pick of which is Roaring Rosa following her improved effort at Leicester, though she could have been better drawn. Damascus Finish (second choice) could go well down in grade with a visor fitted, but the vote goes to the consistent THE CHARMER who is more likely than most to run his race and makes plenty of appeal with Adam Kirby taking over in the saddle.[David Bellingham]
