OR: 75

Form & Verdict
Has not gone on since his AW novice win in December but he's been consistent in handicaps this season and was beaten less than 2l when a front-running fifth at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) last time; mark continues to fall and he could make a bold bid back at this trip.

Twice a runner-up over 6f this winter, including here, but he raced too freely in one 7f run and he still has to prove he needs this far.

Form & Verdict
Scored off 6lb higher over C&D last summer but he's 0-13 since and has faded into fifth in his last three starts including at this track last Saturday; handles most ground and now drops into a Class 5 event but he needs to find more.

Off the mark at the 12th attempt when scoring from off the pace at Chepstow (5f, AW) 18 days ago; up 4lb but that was a personal best last time and she's gone close in both previous runs on soft ground; big player.

Form & Verdict
Came good with her 5f wins on slow ground at Nottingham (novice) and Catterick (handicap) in April; held in her last three starts but her latest third at Sandown (5f, soft) was a good effort behind a well-backed improver; has possibilities on this drop back in grade and she's respected

Form & Verdict
Won a Bath novice (5f, good) for Ron Harris in October 2021 but he's not seen much action since and has struggled in his three runs this season; mark continues to fall but he was beaten 17l on his stable debut last month and has plenty to prove; tongue-tie added.
