Very consistent in defeat earlier in the season (on ground ranging from good through to heavy) and she was beaten just over 1l when fourth of six over C&D (good to soft) last time; has won three times over C&D and every chance she'll be in the mix; the blinkers adopted last time are left off. |

Won over C&D (heavy) last August and has gone close on two of his last three starts (both 6f, good to soft); the forecast slow ground is in his favour and he can be thereabouts once more. |

2nd 10 (3) |
17th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Four wins last year (5f/6f, soft/heavy) and he's below his last winning mark; runner-up at Ripon (6f, good to soft) last month and, while he was only fourth at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) last Saturday, he's not ruled out. |

5lb better off with Beast Of Burden for a C&D defeat of just over 1l last month, and last week's fine Hamilton second was a third podium finish from as many starts since; losing run mounting up, but claims still good. |

Sandwiched between Beast Of Burden and Zegos Surprise when second at Newcastle early last month and has backed that effort up twice since (one C&D), albeit held behind Giselles Izzy latest; obvious place claims. |

3rd 1 (1) |

Poor strike-rate and on a long losing run but he is fully effective over C&D and he comes here on the back of two seconds last month; drawn on the outside and may have to wait a bit longer to get off the mark for this yard. |

Multiple winner in the last few seasons but usually runs at a much lower level; not at her best since scoring at Newbury in early July and looks out of her depth in this grade; opposed. |

Soft ground wouldn't have been ideal for her at Doncaster nine days ago and she ran quite well with that in mind; 4lb higher today but the drying conditions are in her favour and foolish to assume she won't maintain her improvement. |

Has a patchy profile and was never involved at Newcastle (6f) last Monday but his last win was on Tapeta and he went close in a classified event over C&D in August; looks interesting on that form and he's not ruled out back up in trip; change of headgear. |

On a 15-race losing sequence but runner-up twice over 6f this season (including C&D on good to firm) and he kept on for fourth at Ripon (5f, good) a fortnight ago; won a division of this in 2022 and the step back up in trip is a likely plus; on the shortlist. |
