Form & Verdict
Placed efforts at Wetherby and Haydock, both in more competitive handicaps than this, read well enough; not quite as good last time but the pace didn't hold up over a stiffer 1m2f that day and he's one to consider.

Won at Ffos Las (1m2f, good) last month and ran with credit when third of six at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) 11 days later; ideally needs further than this now and has it to do from 5lb out of the weights.

Added to his Ripon win last summer when justifying favouritism with a comfortable success at Ffos Las (1m2f, good; 2-1) last Monday; remains feasibly treated off only 3lb higher and he has form figures of 33511 at this trip; key player.

Form & Verdict
Related to numerous winners, including the yard's Selenachorus, who improved once handicapping over middle-distances as a 3yo; not achieved much as yet but market confidence would bring her firmly into the equation in a weak race.

Goes beyond 7f for the first time and stamina isn't assured on pedigree; hard to know the worth of her latest small-field fifth too and it will be interesting to see how she goes in the market.

Form & Verdict
Took off in front on Tapeta last time (7f) and finished lame, so that can be ignored; had previously not looked the easiest over 1m on turf (first-time visor) and he'll need to be more amenable now going up in trip and switched to cheekpieces.

Fair third at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in May but he's not easy to predict and was beaten 15l at Epsom last month; now drops back in grade but overall record is 1-20 and he comes with risks attached.

Longstanding, regressive maiden (6f-1m4f) who's run respectably in two starts for this yard, latterly when not looking to see out 1m4f here behind an improver; wouldn't be a shock to see her make it 16th time lucky.

3yo who kept on for fair third at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) in May on second handicap start; backward step at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) ten days later but in a slowly run race; based on his penultimate run he could be suited by this stiff 1m3f; brother Candonomore is a soft-ground winner.
