Form & Verdict
Competitive off his revised mark since coming away with Say You'll Never in a five-runner race over C&D off 3lb lower early last month; having promising 7lb claimer Jack Doughty take over can only help and he holds leading claims.

J: Andrew Mullen

T: Ben Haslam

Flexible regarding the going; had mixed results since winning at Pontefract (5f, soft) last October, but he wasn't far away after making the running at Ripon recently and is now 2lb lower than that last winning mark; probably needs a bit more.

J: Andrew Mullen

T: Ben Haslam

Well backed when winning a 5f handicap at Pontefract (soft) last October but hasn't matched that since, including beating only one home over C&D three weeks ago; back on the mark he defied at Pontefract but would need to see money for him again.

8 yo Gelding

OR: 65

Form & Verdict
Five years since he won on turf but he's gone close here a couple of times and has always been best suited by switchback tracks, an easy 5f and a fast surface; doesn't arrive in much form but he's had a few tough draws lately and this is easier.

Multiple 5f winner down the years, including over C&D, but his powers appear to be on the wane; a couple of respectable efforts last month but more will be needed to win.

7 yo Gelding

OR: 62

Form & Verdict
Notched a fourth win here when going in over C&D last autumn off 4lb lower; having 5lb knocked off by the experienced Joe Leavy won't hurt and this is less competitive.

J: Darragh Keenan

T: John Gallagher

Eight-time winner at up to 7f; made virtually all when scoring at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) in April, but he's not hit the same level since and was only sixth of eight at Windsor last time; now back below his last winning mark but he needs to raise his game.

J: Oisin Murphy

Made all to beat Exceed at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) in April and he's 1lb lower today; mixed bag since but he's got the rail to help today and Oisin Murphy's booking is an obvious plus; big player.

Form & Verdict
Inclined to pull hard over further on the AW but no issues on that front on her turf debut over C&D early last month, finishing only a neck behind Wrestling Revenue; meets that rival on the same terms and could yet be capable of better after just five runs.

Latest effort is best ignored, with it all going wrong at the start (also said to have been showing signs of coming into season); she can be buzzy anyway and this is tougher than the Brighton handicaps she's been contesting.

Has finished third in three of her four runs including on her handicap debut at Wolverhampton (6f, AW; 100-30) last month; has taken a strong hold at times and this unexposed filly could find more on this drop to 5f; in the mix.
