Form & Verdict
Progressive since dropped to 6f, winning a Chepstow maiden and handicaps here and at Wolverhampton (strong form); pipped at the post in his bid for a four-timer at Windsor three weeks ago, a stumble near the finish probably the difference between victory and defeat; another 2lb higher and a sharp 5f presents a new challenge but he's a strong traveller and should cope; still has more to offer.

Took a while to get off the mark but he's making up for lost time, ending his 3yo campaign with two 6f wins and completing his hat-trick at Wolverhampton on his reappearance last month; had subsequent winners back in third and fifth last time and a 3lb rise for that success looks fair; major player again back on turf.

J: Charles Bishop

T: Robert Cowell

Better on AW than turf but took advantage of a good opportunity at Yarmouth in April (5f, good); hit with an 8lb rise for that, bringing his turf and AW marks into line; blew the start back at Yarmouth last month but the stewards deemed him a non-runner due to having his head turned as the stalls opened; risky on the back of that and there are other pace influences to contend with today.

OR: 82

Form & Verdict
Good record on AW and his mark has dropped 4lb after two lesser efforts on turf; a repeat of either of his two last two starts on AW would give him leading claims off this mark, even from the outside stall.

J: Ashley Lewis

T: Peter Crate

Scored at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) in May and probably bettered that performance when very close second at Brighton (5.2f, good to firm) last month; recent Windsor run is best overlooked (saddle slipped); slightly out of the weights but the return to 6f won't be a problem; probably won't be far away.

Useful 3yo who's come back to form since dropped to 5f on turf, minus the blinkers, following up his Lingfield win off 3lb lower with a solid effort at Newbury; needs considering but wants a proper test at this trip and a bigger field would have helped.

Form & Verdict
Four wins since November, three of them at this track (two over C&D), but that has resulted in a big rise in the weights; not at her best on turf last time but returning to this track should suit and there should be enough pace on for her to be seen to good effect; 2-2 when ridden by Oisin Murphy; major player.
