Runners: 7 runners

Type: Flat Turf

Surface: Turf

Weather: Partly cloudy

Form: 1/3/0/ D

Last run: 690 days

6 yo Gelding

OR: 92

Form & Verdict
Very lightly raced 6yo who has some useful form, including two 2yo wins on Tapeta and a third in a valuable conditions race at Newcastle (6f) in April 2022; looks interesting on that form but he struggled in his only run in 2023 and has something to prove after another long absence; been gelded and cheekpieces are added.

Form & Verdict
Ten-time sprint winner who was runner-up in a Class 2 at Pontefract (6f, good) 20 days ago and he ran another good race when second behind a major improver at Ayr (6f, good to soft) last Monday; up another 2lb but he remains well treated on his best form and this return to fast ground is no problem; big player.

Getting on for four years since he last contested a Class 4 handicap; in better form than his figures suggest, having nowhere to go at a crucial stage at Windsor two weeks ago, and he is one to take seriously.

C&D win off a 3lb higher mark last July; none too consistent on AW over the winter but it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see him bounce back to form returned to turf.

Form & Verdict
Smart 2yo but more miss than hit since then and he's finished down the field in his three runs this season; mark continues to fall but he's now 1-14 and others are more persuasive; first-time cheekpieces replace blinkers.

Yet to add to his 6f 2yo win on AW in Britain for Brian Meehan; solid level of form here of late, most recently staying on for second behind all-the-way winner Sporting Hero over this trip last month from a wide draw; 4lb better off with rival here, major chance.

Form & Verdict
8yo who has not easy to predict but he recorded his 11th win when scoring at 12-1 at Newmarket (6f) last Saturday; 5lb higher on this step back up in grade but that was a comfortable success and he still looks on a workable mark; respected.

Highly tried after his Ayr win (6f, good to firm) 13 months ago, placed in a Newbury Listed event before sixth of nine in a Group 2 at Glorious Goodwood; reappeared with a heavy defeat in a Listed race at Newmarket in May and he couldn't make an impact when switched to a handicap at Salisbury (first run since gelded) last month; still unexposed but has bit to prove and needs to raise his game with cheekpieces added.

Useful form as a 2yo but struggled in his three runs last season; sold out of Alice Haynes's stable for 22,000gns last October; likely to come good for new connections off a reduced mark but this looks a pretty stiff task after eight months away.

Arrives in good heart, following a third to Badri at Windsor with a battling success on the same course (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago; up 5lb for the win but that form was boosted when runner-up Trefor went one better here on Wednesday; needs to be considered.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark (seventh attempt) when landing a Chelmsford maiden (6f, AW) in May; eyecatching fourth on handicap debut over C&D (good to firm) next time and she found more progress when going close at Nottingham 23 days ago; this is a big step up in grade but she's only 1lb higher than last time and has possibilities if she gets a good pace.
