Form & Verdict
Only made his debut in April and has proved consistent so far, as when third of nine on handicap debut in first-time cheekpieces (now removed) at Ffos Las (6f, good to soft) 11 days ago; races off the same mark and each-way claims again provided the return to 5f isn't an issue.

J: Ray Dawson

T: Robert Cowell

Began the year with a pair of impressive 5f handicap wins on AW (here and at Southwell) and he didn't have ideal track position when finishing in midfield in a Naas Listed event in April; too bad to be true at York last time; equally effective at 5f and 6f; remains of interest.

Two wins on turf last season for Mark Usher (5f/6f) and he's continued to improve for his new yard, winning two in a row on AW earlier this year (5f); not at his best when seventh of 15 back on grass in a recent Listed race at Naas (5f, good) but shaped as though this return to 6f could be a positive; returns to a handicap and remains one to be interested in.

British raider arrives in terrific form having won back-to-back 5f AW handicaps at Newcastle off 92 and Southwell off 99; effective on good ground; probably needs to improve again on first run in Listed company, but can't be discounted.

Form & Verdict
0-13 in handicaps since winning his maiden on the AW in March last year, but has gone close a couple of times including when beaten a neck at Lingfield (6f, good; first-time cheekpieces) last month; just 1lb higher and the winner followed up next time, but not sure the return to 5f is ideal.

Unbeaten (2-2) under Oisin Murphy until finding traffic in the Windsor race he'd won last summer a fortnight ago; unlikely he'd have won there but he's consistent, fine round here and on a winning mark, so is one to consider.

Six-time winner including four on turf (good/soft); runner-up in final two starts last season but she struggled at Wolverhampton (6f) in her final run last year; this drop back in trip looks a good move on her return but her last three wins have been in Class 5 events and others are preferred.

Won a Bath novice (5f, heavy) last October and, after having been gelded, he bumped into one on his handicap debut/reappearance at Windsor (5f, good) in April; latest last of four at Goodwood (5f, soft) is harder to forgive, though, and he needs to resume his progress.

Mainly seen on the AW since last autumn, but showed he still had it on turf when beaten a neck and a head into third of ten at Windsor (5f, good to firm) last month (fifth has won since); still 5lb below his last winning mark despite a 2lb rise, so one for the shortlist if building on that.

Enjoyed his finest hour when winning the Group 2 Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) as a 2yo, but has finished out of the frame in all eight starts since (gelded before returning last month); takes another drop in class, but can't be supported until showing signs of a resurgence.
