Form & Verdict
Advanced his RPR with each run last season and appeared to perform below market expectations on handicap debut at Lingfield (6f; first-time tongue-tie) one month ago; that was after a break (and a gelding operation) and perhaps this track will suit better.

9st 9lb

J: Alec Voikhansky

T: Tom Ward

Unexposed 3yo who won at Kempton (6f, AW) in March on his second handicap start; needs to prove he's just as good on turf but he was badly hampered when making headway at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) last month, when he was sent off favourite; possible player.

J: Rossa Ryan

T: Tom Ward

Made it second-time lucky in handicaps when scoring at Kempton (6f, AW) in March but he couldn't make an impact at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago; still lightly raced but he needs to resume his progress to defy this mark.

Form & Verdict
His best run last season was on debut when fourth over 6f at Goodwood (hooded in his final race); has been gelded and his yard's patient approach offers hope for him making a better 3yo; market could be informative on this handicap debut.

J: Arron D’Arcy

T: James Fanshawe

Arron D'Arcy (1-10 overall) rode a winner for the trainer, who won this race two years ago, early in the month; no problem with 7f under him last time but the drop back in trip, minus the usual hood, should be fine; player.

Six-race maiden who tends to race too freely; close second of five on seasonal/handicap debut at Kempton (6f, AW) in March but two lesser efforts have followed (7f/6f), and he comes here with something to prove.

Again inclined to pull hard, despite the hood, on his first crack at 7f last time; the return to sprinting should suit on just his second turf start.

More consistent than progressive thus far (5f/6f) but goes handicapping off a low mark and may yet do better.

Showed improved form when dropped back to 5f in his second handicap to beat his 16 rivals at Nottingham (5f, good) 25 days ago, travelling strongly and winning comfortably; up 7lb but this well-related colt looks open to further progress.

Consistent in his four runs so far and may well progress for the step back in trip after disputing the lead until weakening into fourth on his handicap debut at Kempton (6f, AW) last month; 2lb lower and should not be far away.

Not far away in 6f/5f maidens on Tapeta before her backward step here in December; those best efforts give her a chance off this mark and blinkers are tried.

Took advantage of an easing mark in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) when winning at Catterick (6f, good to firm) in May; demonstrated her versatility when following up at Lingfield (5f, soft) seven days later; unable to dominate when fourth of nine at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) subsequently but dangerous here if allowed an easy lead.

Revived for the fitting of cheekpieces recently, making all at Catterick (6f, good to firm) and Lingfield (5f, soft); edging back up the weights but in the form of her life and should go well again.

Fresh cheekpieces may have helped when she took advantage of a reduced mark to open her account at Catterick (6f, good to firm) one week ago; up 6lb but started quickly to make all that day so has to be feared with the potential to bag the favoured stands' rail if clearing Jane Of The Jungle; yet to be tested on ground worse than good but her dam recorded best effort on soft.
