J: Daniel Tudhope

T: Steph Hollinshead

Completed 6f Newmarket handicap hat-trick last summer (good to firm); kept on well for fifth of 14 in Listed race at Bath (5f, good) last month and close third in handicap there (5f, good) latest; has run well on heavy ground here; improvement needed but the return to 6f can suit; not ruled out.

Prominent racer; C&D winner who completed a Newmarket hat-trick last summer (6f, good to firm); it wasn't a vintage Listed event in which she kept on well for fifth here four weeks ago but her mark has been left unchanged and another good run should be forthcoming.

Tough front-running handicapper but nothing in her form to think she was the answer to today's puzzle.

0-5 but has run well to go close in his two nurseries (5f, good) and could be bang there once more.

Progressed well as 2yo and has kept the momentum going since switched to Tapeta back from a break, scoring narrow 5f wins at Newcastle (led close home) and seeming to win with a bit in hand over C&D 18 days ago; unlikely that a further 3lb rise will prevent another bold show.

J: Rowan Scott

T: Nigel Tinkler

Several near misses as a 2yo and he overcame trouble in running to make a winning return at Newcastle 19 days ago (5f); that form has a solid look to it and although this track will present a slightly different test, he still looks feasibly weighted up 4lb.

Form & Verdict
Improved form in the tongue-tie the last twice, finishing third at Doncaster (6f, soft) on nursery debut then winning at Chepstow (5f, good to soft); major player under penalty if the better ground isn't an issue.

The return to soft ground and application of a tongue-tie appeared to help when he made a positive nursery debut at Doncaster (6f) latest, where he raced freely and kept on for third; drops 1lb and back in trip; likely to be involved.

Third of five in maiden at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) on second start is her best show; 50-1 at Catterick latest (5f, good) and shaped okay, so she is one to consider on this handicap debut.
