Form & Verdict
Prominent racer; arrives on the back of a Brighton win (5.3f, good to firm) last week, form boosted by the runner-up's win on Friday; took this race 12 months ago off a 7lb lower mark; lots to like but the suitability of ground slower than good is still to be proven.

Back on his last successful mark (AW) and wins at Epsom and Chepstow (both on good ground) last summer suggest today's course should be fine; won't mind the return to 5f, either, having been pestered in front last time, and is one to consider.

Two turf wins last summer and three AW wins this year, the latest at Wolverhampton in April; ran well when third of five at Salisbury next time but three lesser runs have followed and he needs to raise his game.

3 yo Colt

Form & Verdict
Two runner-up finishes for his new yard prior to scrambling home in a 6f handicap at Lingfield (AW) 16 days ago; 4lb rise not obviously generous but the new cheekpieces could help; promise on good to soft as a 2yo.

J: Luke Morris

T: John Butler

Started nurseries on an unrealistic mark for Richard Hannon but has found his level again now, narrowly being denied off 1lb lower last time (best of the group that started out racing near side at Nottingham); this half-brother to a C&D winner is shortlisted.

J: David Egan

T: John Butler

Won a Newmarket novice (6f, good) last May, his third start, but beaten 11 times since including all four runs for John Butler; his penultimate second at Thirsk was a good run though and when down the field at York last time it was a Class 4; not out of it.

Form & Verdict
Fully effective over C&D and fine on good to soft (more to prove on soft); unplaced at Brighton last time but beaten under 3l despite being allowed to coast home in the final 100 yards having seen no daylight; should be in the thick of it.

Form & Verdict
He has plenty of ability but he isn't the easiest to win with; not at his best in 6f handicaps on his last two starts; handles softer than good but others are more appealing for win purposes.

Yet to win a turf handicap and he was only ninth of 11 in this race last year; ran well when fifth of 17 at York over 5f last month but surprisingly found it happening too quickly over 6f at Brighton last Friday; others hold more interesting claims.

Cayman Tai

9st 8lb

J: Seamus Cronin

T: Richard Hannon

Back in form at York last time, despite being rather drawn away from the action in a race in which the leaders didn't stop; a while since he went beyond 5f but this may well be run to suit if he gets some luck once dropped in (as seems likely) from stall 9.

Both wins at 5f but he has form over 6f and he would be well suited by more rain; gelded since latest start; one to consider.

J: Kieran Shoemark

T: Charles Hills

Heavy-ground winner as 2yo; started the year with a 5f Southwell AW win but the style of that success, when stamina finally came into play after he was niggled along from some way out, suggests others will have brighter early speed on the return to 5f; tongue-tie added.

Form & Verdict
The drop to 6f and fitting of cheekpieces saw her return to form at Goodwood (soft ground) in June, seeing off eight rivals in a 0-70 fillies' handicap; not in the same form at Lingfield (AW) seven weeks ago; needs a full revival.

J: David Probert

T: Tom Ward

Seemed to benefit from combination of drop back in trip and new cheekpieces when scoring at Goodwood (6f, soft) last month; recent 5lb rise asks quite a lot of her but this return to Polytrack won't be a problem.

Finished third in his two races this year, the latest in June at Carlisle (6f, soft); on a competitive mark and should make another bold bid.

Has shown most of his form over 6f on ground softer than good; close third in big field over 5f at Doncaster in sole run this term; enters calculations off same mark back up in trip.

Betting Forcast

7/2 Em Four, 9/2 Logi Bear, 9/2 Twirler, 10/1 Cayman Tai, 9/2 Proof, 10/1 Perfect Location, 7/2 Harrys Halo

Verdict

Last year’s winner Em Four would have a point to prove were the ground to deteriorate further but there are no such concerns for Harry’s Halo or PROOF. The latter is marginally preferred with a gelding operation since last seen a possible catalyst for a return to his best.[Paul Smith]
