Prolific winner for Rod Millman but he has been out of sorts in three runs for current connections, including well behind reopposing rivals the last twice; mark tumbling but with good reason. |

Has defied current mark three times, including in this race 12 months ago, and Jack Callan removes a bonus 5lb today; close second at Brighton (7f) latest start; respected. |

9st 5lb |
Seven-time winner who handles any ground but he can miss the break; now 2lb lower than for his Newbury win (1m, good) in May but he's lost his way since and needs a major revival. |

Ended her time with James Ferguson with a Wolverhampton success for Sienna Shepard last October; races off the same mark today but she does need to step up on her two runs for her new stable this summer. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Gained his first turf win since July 2021 when making all at Carlisle nine days ago (6f, good to soft); a 6lb rise for that win looks stiff given he's thoroughly exposed but he's drawn 8 and should be able to grab the rail which has been a huge advantage at recent meetings; key player. |

Usually seen on the AW (3-24) these days; just 1-27 on turf and would have even more to prove were the ground to ease significantly. |

23rd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Course regular who led close home to score over C&D (good) last month; reportedly unsuited by the soft ground when well beaten here 16 days ago; current mark is workable if she's back on song. |
9/1 |

7th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Notched a third course win when ending a losing run over C&D 17 days ago (unlucky Vape not far behind in sixth); got messed about a bit herself and has a fair chance of defying a 3lb rise. |

Suffered lots of defeats since last win nearly two years ago, though went down by a short head at Salisbury (6f) two runs ago; she was entitled to run better here last week over the 7f, though. |

Multiple Bath/Brighton winner but scored over C&D in 2017; mainly disappointing since last win in summer so, although he should be better for last run, is easy enough to take on. |

Off the mark on Southwell AW in February (6f; first-time blinkers); lesser efforts since, including back on turf in May, but blinkers are refitted and Tom Marquand is up for the first time. |

19th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Infrequent winner but she's reliable at a low level and comes here on the back of six solid turf runs this year; well drawn for a prominent racer and she's likely to be involved once again. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 (3) |
10th Aug 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has very modest 1-37 strike-rate but scores high marks for her consistency; most of her recent form is over 7f but she can cope with today's drop back in trip and probably won't be far away. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 10 (2) |
24th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 6 |
10st 8lb |
Very consistent, running well in the cheekpieces the past twice (deal better off with Gilt Edge than when third to her last month), but has only won once; may be the one to take them along under a jockey taking just her seventh ride. |
10/1 |
Verdict
George Baker has his string in rude health and Marsh Benham will be popular with his reappearance behind him and Simon Walker booked. DIAMOND COTTAGE comes here in top form, though, and she might be the answer back on the grass. Essme is returning from a break but could prove best of the rest.[Paul Smith]
