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.

Creditable efforts for his new stable without looking ahead of his mark; cheekpieces are now added and he looks the likeliest leader; others look more appealing.

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.

On a losing run but he's performed with credit in his two runs this season; well drawn and 13lb lower than at this stage 12 months ago; William Buick replaces apprentice; one to take seriously.

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.

Ten-time C&D winner, mainly from the front, including twice earlier in the year, latterly off this mark; this company a bit warmer than he's used to and there's other pace in here, so he'll need something close to a career-best effort.
