Form & Verdict
Back off his last winning mark, but has enjoyed rather more success on the AW (4-13) than on turf (1-20) which leaves him with a bit to prove.

10st 0lb

J: Marco Ghiani

T: Robert Cowell

Always tended to be hot and cold in the past, so disappointing he didn't fare better at Lingfield (AW) latest given a decent record there; not a lot of wiggle room off this mark and is now tried in first-time cheekpieces (wore blinkers twice as a 2yo).

Michaelas Boy

10st 4lb

J: Luke Morris

T: Robert Cowell

Two wins and a close second to his name in four runs over C&D; tended to be hot and cold in the past, twice winning back-to-back, which bodes well after bouncing back off 4lb lower at Yarmouth last time; goes well for Luke Morris too.

Form & Verdict
Hit and miss, but useful on his day as he showed when winning well at Bath (5f, good to firm) in April and when second of five behind an improver at Goodwood (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago; down 1lb and could play a part on his best form.

Two wins (AW/turf) for previous yard; close fourth at Newcastle (5f, AW) on stable/seasonal debut; fighting chance provided he builds on that effort; similar type to Emerald Harmony.

Never out of the first three in seven starts, making a winning reappearance in a Catterick novice (5f, good) in May and going down by only a neck in a handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago; up 1lb but still a major player.

9st 11lb

J: Jack Dace

He has yet to start at a bigger price than 9-4 in his nine races but he has won only one of them; hard to fault his consistency but he is edging up the weights and might prove vulnerable for win purposes once again.

Most consistent since his debut a year ago (22331323); gelded since beaten two necks into third of four at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) a month ago; possesses plenty of early pace and this sharp track may prove ideal.

Form & Verdict
Made just about all to land a four-runner Catterick maiden (5f, soft) for Roger Fell last October; fourth of seven on his reappearance/stable debut at Bath (5f, good to firm) last month and will need to improve on that now switched to a handicap.

Scrambled home in a 5f handicap at Hamilton in May and has finished third in two of his three starts since, the latest over C&D last month; this is his first Class 6 run since the Hamilton win and he needs taking seriously.

Best effort since wining a Southwell handicap (5f, AW) in January when second of seven at Bath (5.7f, good) last month, but well held at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago; needs to bounce back with a tongue-tie added to the usual hood.

One turf win from 15 attempts, in a four-runner race at Chepstow (5f) last July; two fair C&D runs since returned to turf in May and was out on a limb when finishing sixth to Another Abbot and Sudden Flight 14 days ago; however, he'll do well to win at this level off his current mark.
