Form & Verdict
Acts on heavy; has stamina on the dam's side and again shaped as though this sort of trip would suit when among the favourites for a deeper 1m2f handicap at York last time; goes on the shortlist, down 2lb.

Last season ended with two big runs on soft ground and he's carried on the good work this term with wins at Southwell (1m4f, AW) and Hamilton (1m5f, good); raised another 5lb but produced a strong and well-timed run to collar Savrola close home last time and has more to give; big shout.

Form & Verdict
Just a single decent effort from four hurdle races for this yard since picked up from Joseph O'Brien this time last year; maybe this longest Flat trip to date will help but she finished tailed off on Flat at a huge price three weeks ago when back from a break.

Form & Verdict
Couple of costly defeats in the spring but he showed the right attitude when coming away with his main market rival on Southwell Tapeta (1m3f) last month; that win will have boosted confidence ahead of just his second run in a handicap and he's been found the right opening.

Offered a bit more back from a break last time and moves into rather calmer waters today; won her novice easily on testing ground last autumn, so these conditions ought to help too and it will be interesting to see how she goes in the market.

Form & Verdict
Ex-Irish gelding who's won three over 1m2f this season and gone a stone up the weights; an easy 1m4f should be fine but he's lost his way under both codes of late and will need a career-best effort.
