Firmly on the up for her new yard this spring and she could be called the winner some way out at Beverley last week (7.5f, soft); that effort was backed up by the clock and she holds strong claims despite her 5lb penalty. |

Two AW wins for James Fanshawe; placed in Class 5 handicaps on his last two starts (7f here and 1m at Yarmouth); should go well back down in class. |

Won on turf (1m, soft) and Polytrack (7f) last year and he's been placed five times in 2024, including when runner-up behind a subsequent winner over C&D last time; on same mark here and he's a big player on this drop back in grade. |

Well treated on old form but record stands at 1-30 and he's not threatened in his six runs this season; tongue-tie is now added on this drop back in trip but others are more convincing. |

Already a three-time 6f/7f AW winner early this season and he posted another solid effort when fifth of nine in 6f Pontefract handicap five days ago; he ought to be in the shake-up once more. |

9st 12lb |
Back-to-back AW wins in the spring, latterly over C&D; made a good return from eight weeks off when second at Brighton (7f, good to firm) 11 days ago; considered back here. |

2nd 8 (6) |

Form has dipped slightly since two AW wins in March/April and remains on a 2lb higher mark than for the most recent win; however, he posted a better effort at Newbury in June, having been denied a clear run before finishing his race off well, and is worth considering on the back of that. |

9st 4lb |
Back on song with narrow win at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) last month but he failed to back that up at Chepstow (6f, good to soft) two weeks ago; this triple C&D winner now goes back up in trip but he's a mercurial type who needs to bounce back again. |
12/1 |

17th Jun 2024 Good 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Back on song with narrow win in 15-runner Lingfield handicap (7f, good to firm) last week, his sixth career success; not one to rely upon heavily but remains well handicapped on form as recent as the winter and can cope with today's drop back in trip. |

Unexposed after only five starts but was safely held when fourth of five in first two handicaps, the latter on seasonal debut at Lingfield (6f, AW) a fortnight ago; back up in trip here; not the most obvious answer. |
