J: Rob Hornby

Sole win from 12 starts came at Lingfield (5f, AW) in January on penultimate outing for James Owen; comparable form in two of six turf races since for new yard and not totally disgraced on latest, so he's not entirely ruled out despite not being proven over quite this far.

Sole win from ten starts came at Lingfield (5f, AW) in January when trained by James Owen; went close at Bath (5.5f, good) in May on his second start for this stable and back to some form when he ran respectably in another handicap there on Wednesday; drops into a classified.

Three runs for each of his former yards and managed a win on Lingfield's Polytrack in January (5f); went close for current connections over C&D in May but two subsequent efforts are hard to gloss over.

Form & Verdict
Progressive at a low level since handicapping, getting off the mark at Chelmsford last month; step up to 6f didn't benefit her at Southwell on New Year's Day but she can't be discounted back at 5f; ridden today by a 7lb claimer who has made a flying start to his career.

J: Tyler Heard

Untried on softer than good ground; three runs on turf and the best of them came last time out when third of 12 at Windsor (6f, good) 19 days ago; was mucked about that day and this dual 5f AW winner should be fine back down in trip, especially given a likely good gallop despite the small field.

3 yo Colt

Form & Verdict
Finished last in his three runs in novice/maiden company; more encouragement when keeping on for a never-dangerous fourth at Chelmsford on last month's handicap debut (6f), a race where he still looked to be learning his job; open to improvement and he needs monitoring for market confidence.

J: Joey Haynes

T: Chelsea Banham

Off the mark at the eighth attempt when justifying favouritism in a Wolverhampton handicap (5f, AW) in March; held in fourth in a classified event there last Monday but that was a creditable effort from a wide draw; now returns to turf but he's unexposed in this sphere and is a big player if he can run near his best.

Lightly raced compared to most of these and holds obvious claims on his last-time 6f win here in March; always the concern that he'll pull hard again, from a wide stall, after two months off, but he's been found the right race.
