    Form & Verdict
    Readily justified favouritism in 6f AW event at Lingfield and although the form isn't strong he looks open to progress; well down this pack on bare figures as things stand, however.

    Showed his 40-1 win at Bath (5.7f, firm) was no fluke by running well in an admittedly substandard National Stakes at Sandown (5f, good; Listed) where he gave the impression this step back up in trip will suit.

    Thrice-raced colt who won well at Bath (5.7f, firm) most recently but that was only an ordinary maiden contest and the time was very slow; probably not up to this level.

    Has built up a solid record over 5f on good ground; good second in an above-average Lily Agnes at Chester most recently, shaping as if he's ready for a crack at this extra furlong; big player on the figures.

    Flashed his tail but stuck on to prevail by 1l in novice event (6f, good) at York, recording an RPR that puts him firmly in the mix upped to a Woodcote; open to progress to boot; one for the shortlist.

    Out of a 7f winner and proved suited by the step up to that distance at Haydock (good to soft) where he beat three rivals; something to prove in this much deeper race returned to sprinting.

    Form & Verdict
    Caught the eye in making late headway from last place at Chepstow (6f, good to soft; ended up seventh of 12) but the bare form is modest and there's a danger he'll again get too far back.

    Form & Verdict
    Thrice-raced gelding who is seeking a first success but has sound form, notably a close second at Musselburgh to the subsequent Lily Agnes winner who remains unbeaten; ran well upped to 6f at York (good) last time; solid claims.

    Northern raider; rallied for third of nine in maiden (5f, good to firm) at Doncaster, giving the strong impression he'll be suited by this extra furlong; could go well.

    Brings the worst form, having finished a modest fourth of seven at Musselburgh (5f, good) where she was one of the outsiders; nurseries may prove her ideal scene in due course.

    Betting Forcast

    6/1 Alpe dHuez, 10/1 Dandyman Dan, 20/1 El Lambo, 5/1 Hickory Lad, 3/1 Possessive, 16/1 The Bookkeeper, 6/1 Wild Terrain, 10/1 Ardad Steve, 33/1 Benefacta, 14/1 Rlasthope, 16/1 Social Spirit, 16/1 Havana Flash, 25/1 Romidijo, 66/1 Time And Effort

    Verdict

    Calculations regarding possible draw bias will be partly shaped by the actions of the weather, bearing in mind that runners may well migrate towards the stands' side if the ground is softer than good. Those complications aside, ARDAD STEVE is the each-way suggestion in his bid to enhance Eve Johnson Houghton's solid recent record in this contest. The once-raced winners Wild Terrain (second choice) and Possessive are respected, while solid form contenders Hickory Lad and Rlasthope help to add depth to a competitive Woodcote.[Steve Boow]
