Form & Verdict
Has much better strike-rate on AW but recovered from slow start to win here (5f, firm) on turf return in May, and this longer trip will arguably suit him better; needs to bounce back from two down-the-field runs but was denied a clear run on first occasion; can't be ruled out.

J: Owen Lewis

Didn't help himself by racing awkwardly last time at Brighton but has won on his last two visits here, latterly under Owen Lewis; hard to call him well handicapped but, like many in here, he has each-way claims.

Dual firm-ground Bath winner this season, latterly off 3lb lower for Owen Lewis late last month; as high in the weights now as he's been for a few years and his record round here is nothing exciting.

He's been up and down this season but has won twice (5f, good to firm) and was a good second at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) last time when denied a clear run; no surprise if this progressive 4yo makes amends today.

Prevailed in small field at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) last time, taking record in blinkers to 3-9; back up 4lb but Jack Callan takes off useful 3lb; has won over C&D; enters calculations.

Perhaps best known as a Chepstow regular but this track also suits her; yet to win this season but has been placed three times (5f/7f) and her current mark is workable; no surprise if she features.

Acts on any ground and mainly consistent, again running with credit when third of eight here (7f, good to soft) on Saturday; has only managed to win one of her last 32 starts, though, and may prefer further than this now.

Capable of some fair form but this low-mileage 6yo has yet to offer much in three runs this summer and failed to beat a rival in five-runner handicap at Bath (5.5f) two weeks ago; blinkers go on for the first time.

0-11 but he was a close-up third in a classified event at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) last August; fifth of seven here over 5f on his reappearance and may come on for that; tongue-tie added.
