Form & Verdict
Something to find on these terms and Mia Nicholls can't claim usual 5lb; however, this front-runner has won two handicaps this year (5f, good) and was a good third at Doncaster last time; won in 2022 on sole run here; could make a bold bid if conditions suit (may not want slow ground nowadays).

J: Rowan Scott

T: Adrian Nicholls

Capable 5f performer on his day but has not made the frame in six runs this year; a slow start meant he couldn't adopt his usual front-running tactics at York five weeks ago, and his mark is tumbling, but he's risky.

J: Jack Nicholls

T: Adrian Nicholls

Smart front-runner on his day; the handicapper took a dim view of his Beverley win last September and he has found it tough going this time around, including at Redcar 11 days ago after a wind op; he is well handicapped again now though and should have a big run in him if his high draw proves no hindrance.

W: 9st 10lb

8 yo Gelding

OR: 105

Form & Verdict
Won a local Group 3 in Qatar (6f, good) in February on second start for this yard and returned to form with very close Listed third over C&D (good to firm) last month; unproven on slow ground; he'll be tough to beat if reproducing that latest form.

J: Saffie Osborne

T: Jamie Osborne

High-class sprinter in his younger days, enjoying Group 1 success in the 2021 Sprint Cup at Haydock; had some strong form last year too and although he struggled in Dubai last month, getting dropped 7lb will help; this represents an easier assignment and he's one for the shortlist.

9st 4lb

J: Dougie Costello

T: Jamie Osborne

Collected a big prize in Qatar (6f, good; local Group 3) in February on only his second outing for this stable, but hasn't repeated that form in two runs since returning to Britain and now has something to prove.

7 yo Gelding

OR: 94

Form & Verdict
Absent since December 2022 and it remains to be seen how much ability he retains; however, he was a good Listed third over C&D (good) in August 2022 and today's opponents aren't rock-solid, so it will be no surprise if he has a part to play on this return to action; has won on good to soft.

1-1 over C&D; two good efforts since returning from latest seven-month absence but ran moderately when twelfth of 14 at York last time; 11l margin of defeat does him some disservice though (squeezed out then eased) and this drop in grade can help him bounce back; easiest task on turf for years; interesting.

J: Alistair Rawlinson

Had some long spells on the sidelines since his solid 2022 campaign; two solid efforts since returning from latest seven-month absence; has run well over C&D and should give it a good go from the front.

6 yo Colt

OR: 110

Form & Verdict
Below par on his last three runs, with slow starts proving an issue; however, he's won twice this term (5f, good/good to yielding), including a Listed race, and this C&D winner will be a key player if anywhere near the top of his game in a first-time visor; versatile ground-wise.

9st 9lb

J: Neil Callan

T: Robert Cowell

High-class sprinter on turf and AW; his two C&D wins have both been mighty performances and there is no doubt he has the raw ability to give the weight away to today's opponents; sadly he has become a nightmare at the start, refusing to race in three of his last five runs; can't be supported with confidence; stable run four here.

9st 12lb

J: David Allan

T: Robert Cowell

High-class sprinter on his day and he has tasted defeat in just one of his four runs on AW; fine effort to beat Marshman in a Listed race here in February and third in a Newmarket Group 3 next time; no doubt he has the ability to win a race of this nature but he is increasingly troublesome at the start and he has refused to race twice this summer; capable but too much risk attached to recommend.
