It's now 13 outings since his last victory and he beat only one in 1m6f Wolverhampton handicap (AW) for his new yard last month; others appeal more.

J: Pat Cosgrave

T: Robert Stephens

Both wins came over 1m2f on turf in the summer of 2024, but he was only beaten a neck over this C&D in February and is now 3lb lower; each-way claims if able to recapture that form.

J: Mr Lucas Murphy

Went close at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) for Alan King in February but dropped out quite tamely on recent stable debut (2m, AW) and this shorter trip may not be ideal for him nowadays.

Form & Verdict
Kept on for fair third in first-time blinkers (retained) at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) last month, when jockey said saddle slipped; now 0-6 but not ruled out on the back of that latest effort.

J: Alexandra Egan

Has done well in a visor for his new yard and he added to his Kempton win (2m) last summer when rallying well for a last-gasp success here (1m6f, good) last week; up 3lb but he pulled 6l clear with the runner-up last time and is a big player again back up in trip.

Sole win came in a 2m AW handicap for Dominic Ffrench Davis last June but he went very close to a second on just his second outing for Michael Wigham when short-headed at Lingfield (extended 2m, good to firm) under Alexandra Egan 17 days ago; the first-time visor he wore at Lingfield is retained.

Form & Verdict
Won on handicap debut at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) in June and fair third of six at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago on first turf start; the drop back in trip may help and he's one to consider.

He made a winning handicap debut at Chelmsford in June (1m2f) when sent off at 100-1; back at that level when a close third of nine at Wolverhampton ten days ago (1m4f); in the mix with a repeat.

J: Morgan Cole

Kept on gamely to cause 100-1 shock over C&D on handicap debut in June and has held his form pretty well since; can sometimes race a bit too freely but probably won't be far away.

3 yo Filly

OR: 67

Form & Verdict
No better than fifth across her three 2yo starts, and beaten about 6l when fourth of nine on last month's handicap and seasonal debut over C&D (good to firm); however, she faded late and may have needed the run, and her attractive pedigree provides hope she's capable of better.

Six-race maiden who failed to beat a rival (on turf) the last twice; finished fifth to a subsequently smart filly at Kempton on last AW attempt and that effort gives cause for some optimism.
