Lacked consistency since handicapping but having Jack Callan taking over won't hurt down 2lb and this mark should be within range; one to consider.

Won three on the trot, two here, over 5f on fast ground in June/July; not disgraced in a competitive Goodwood handicap last time (5f, good to firm); could go well, but best form at shorter.

J: David Egan

T: Tom Clover

Has proved ideally suited by 5f on good to firm and, despite taking a hefty rise for two June wins, he didn't take much urging to get to the front at Newmarket last time, before nudged out to hold the second; a further 5lb rise in a better race asks for more but he should be in contention; yard won this in 2019.

Form & Verdict
Ideally suited by an easy 6f or stiff 5f and knows how to win; turned in a solid effort at his beloved Sandown last weekend and remains reliable despite his age, but there's not much room for manoeuvre off this mark.

Dual C&D winner who is back to the mark he was successful from at Haydock (6f, good to firm) in April; fair fourth over C&D 19 days ago; sports first-time cheekpieces on this 107th start and he warrants consideration.

Form & Verdict
Took advantage of a sliding mark on her return to turf when winning a soft-ground 0-65 off 3lb lower ten days ago; remains on a fair mark now back in form but this is tougher and she's having a first run over 5f in the best part of a year.

Made the most of a reduced mark when regaining winning form at Yarmouth (6f, soft) in June and possible to make excuses for her two subsequent defeats; capable of playing a part in the returning blinkers if they go a good pace.

A slow start did for him in the Epsom Dash last time and this is less competitive over a stiffer 5f; current mark should be within range if he gets away better and finds the race setting up for him.

Added to an earlier Windsor win when beating three rivals at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) last week; ran respectably in a less competitive C&D race than this in May but a tendency to get behind early is a worry in this big field and he's 3lb badly in under a penalty.

Has not had much luck and continues to give the impression that this mark, which is just 2lb higher than when winning at Windsor in the spring, is within range; another who tends to be ridden from off the pace and he wouldn't want a messy affair.

His wins have come from the front in the summer, including this time last year on his second run back; turned in a satisfactory comeback at Windsor, when losing a shoe, and is entitled to have come on for that first start in seven months; shortlisted.

Two solid efforts for Roger Varian last summer, winning a 6f maiden at Lingfield (AW) on debut before finishing third under a penalty at Doncaster (6f, good to firm); not so good on his stable debut at Lingfield last month (after nine months off) but he looks to be on a fair mark for his handicap debut.

Back to his best since joining his current yard but he's shot up the weights and there have been some costly defeats to go with two AW wins; now 0-17 on turf, having pulled hard in a messy Bath affair last time, and will need a career-best effort to take this.
