Has been placed a few times and drops to this level for the first time, but ran poorly on his reappearance at Chester (7.7f, good) in June and has been off another 73 days since; blinkers need to make a difference if he is to make it 16th-time lucky.

Back-to-back wins last summer came over 1m2f here (soft) and when narrowly making all at Catterick (1m4f, good); both wins came under Tom Kiely-Marshall but they also featured cheekpieces, which are missing for this comeback; mark is fine if he is ready.

Recent wins under Tom Kiely-Marshall (1m2f, soft; 1m4f, good) were by narrow margins so has only gone up 2lb; made the most of a soft lead here last time and he'll need to see out this longer trip, but clearly a contender.

Verdict

Land Lover brings the strongest form credentials but he’s come up short five times now and Ayr last time was a backward step. Preference is for SALAMANCA LAD who has been gelded since showing plenty of promise at York in May. The newcomers need checking in the market, with Alice’s Impact one to note in particular.[Alistair Jones]
