Form & Verdict
4yo who has form figures of 1221522 in handicaps and he's been beaten a short head and a nose in his two runs (1m4f/1m6f) this year; on same mark as last time and he should make another bold bid back in trip; major player.

J: Sean Houlihan

Four-time winner at about 1m4f on the Flat for Sir Mark Prescott, reaching a fairly useful standard (RPR 87); sold for 20,000gns since last run; possibilities assuming he takes well to hurdles.

J: Dylan Hogan

T: Sir Mark Prescott Bt

Four-time winner (all 1m4f on a sound surface) with three of those in blinkers, latterly at Catterick (good; made all) on his penultimate start; overdid it in the lead before beating one home at Goodwood 12 days ago but could bounce back; cheekpieces (second on all three attempts) are reapplied.

Progress 4yo; won at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) in April and added to that success at Catterick (1m4f, good) 29 days ago, making all under Poppy Scott; can't be dismissed off this 2lb higher mark.

Form & Verdict
Dead-heated off 1lb higher at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) last April but he's not easy to predict and has finished down the field in his last four starts; may have needed his reappearance run at Wolverhampton (9.4f) last month but others are more convincing.

Front-runner who won over C&D and at Southwell (2m) in the spring but he's been beaten 12l or more in last two starts; now only 1lb higher than for his last success but he needs a major revival back on AW.

Soft and heavy-ground turf winner who won twice in the spring (1m4f/2m, AW); easy to excuse latest effort when down the field in a competitive consolation race; mark okay and he's not dismissed back on turf.

Form & Verdict
Came good with 1m2f wins at Newcastle and Doncaster last month but he didn't fire when upped to 1m4f in his hat-trick bid at Lingfield last time; had a wide trip in that race but he needs to kick on again to make a big impact back on Tapeta.

T: Jessica Bedi

Record of 1-18 but his win was off this mark over C&D last autumn; reported to have made a respiratory noise when tailed off on stable debut here in April but he's had wind surgery since and cheekpieces are added on his return; comes with risks attached but he needs watching in market.

Successful in a 1m4f handicap at Newcastle last autumn and there have been some good runs in defeat since, including over 1m4f here 17 days ago; well positioned in that steadily run race and more minor money perhaps his best hope.
