Form & Verdict
Made a bold bid when runner-up at Newcastle (5f) in March and he did well to finish third after missing the break at Lingfield three days later; conditions should be fine on this return to turf but losing run is up to 18 and this is competitive.

J: William Carson

Two wins this season, the latter from the front over C&D (good to soft) in May; also suited by good to firm ground and last month's down-the-field finish here can be excused (stumbled leaving stalls) but others in this line-up look better handicapped; finished last of 13 in first-time visor here yesterday.

7 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
He'd been on a losing run but had become well treated and was suited by the return to Doncaster, where he was 1-2 over 5f, when winning there last Saturday; up 3lb but he remains well handicapped on old form and could be a big factor again.

Made it 2-3 round Epsom off a 3lb lower mark a month ago and ran to a similar level in defeat last time; might have been better drawn for one happiest on the sharp end but has tended to be reliable once striking form in the past; should go well again.

J: Travis Ford

Scored off a career-low mark to land his eighth success, at Epsom (6f, good to firm) nine days ago; back up 2lb but has recorded back-to-back wins previously so cannot be discounted.

Form & Verdict
Only one win from his first 27 starts but he doubled his tally when justifying support at Chelmsford (5f, AW) two weeks ago; goes back up in grade off 4lb higher but he remains feasibly treated on plenty of runner-up efforts last year including on turf; dangerous.

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.

Form & Verdict
Made it 5-17 on AW when coming from off the pace for a clearcut win at Chelmsford (5f) in March; up 7lb but he was as good as ever last time and he won on turf last summer; seems versatile ground-wise and he's strongly respected back in this sphere.

Last three wins have come over 5f but he has won three times over 6f, including around here; held lately, but he drops to this level for the first time in over two years and is 4-9 in 0-60 handicaps or lower; interesting.

Form & Verdict
6yo who recorded his seventh win when making all at Leicester (5f, good to firm) last month; that was his fourth success from his last seven starts and a 2lb rise for that win looks fair; big player again with in-form claimer booked.

Reeled off a hat-trick last September, with second leg over C&D (good); got back near best when scoring at Leicester (5f, good to firm) in the spring but he's been disappointing since and has been a long way below form in last two runs; down the list.
