Form & Verdict
Placed all four starts this season, most recently when very close second in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Catterick (1m6f, good to firm) six weeks ago; only 1lb higher here and the drop back in trip won't be a problem; versatile ground-wise; ought to be in the thick of things again.

Comes here after two fairly respectable hurdle runs but struggled on latest Flat start (April) and his current ability under this code is hard to gauge; seems best on good/good to firm ground; others preferred.

Won a Ludlow novice (2m, good) in May 2022 but he's found things tough in handicaps since, including on the Flat; his last run was over two years ago and he has lots to prove after a massive absence; hood is removed and tongue-tie returns.

Novice winner but unplaced in all four handicap efforts; bang there at Ludlow in the latest of them last month but faded out of contention; tends to race too freely and another whose chance may depend on the effect of a hood (worn for the first time over hurdles).

Form & Verdict
Kept on well to open account at Winsdor (1m2f, good to firm) in May, his 12th start; should cope with today's 2lb higher mark and will be fine over this trip but he didn't fire at Nottingham last month and ground slower than good would be a worry.

Verdict

Ed Dunlop’s filly TURNER GIRL has been knocking on the door in recent weeks and Taylor Fisher’s useful 5lb claim might make the crucial difference today. Pfingstberg made just a respectable handicap debut last month but remains open to improvement. Das Kapital will come firmly into the reckoning if the ground deteriorates.[Chris Wilson]
