Form & Verdict
16-race maiden who has tumbled down the weights; narrowly failed to land a gamble at Windsor 18 days ago when picked off late by a then-stablemate who started at 100-1; has left Tony Carroll since (same owner); 1lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run.

Well-handicapped C&D winner; strong in the market at Lingfield three weeks ago but never able to land a blow (reportedly resented the kickback); set to be dropped in so his wide stall shouldn't be a major issue, particularly with pace in the race; should go well.

Not straightforward but he has more ability than his mark and his last two wins have been emphatic ones, latterly a near-5l success over 6f here 19 days ago (heavy; first time accessories); that form has been boosted by the reopposing Diamondsinthesand and a 5lb rise still leaves him lower than when running away with an Epsom handicap last summer (7f, good to soft); 5f asks a different question of him but his stamina will be an asset and they are likely to go hard.
