Form: 844557

Last run: 15 days

W: 9st 8lb

4 yo Colt

OR: 64

Form & Verdict
Ex-Irish; 0-10 for current stable but drops in grade off an attractive mark and gives the impression the return to 5f is worth exploring; this may be the time to catch him.

0-9 for current stable; dropped 16lb in that time but he is still to convince that he needs this trip; widest draw not ideal either.

10st 8lb

J: Joanna Mason

T: Charlie Johnston

Dual 6f winner in Ireland; 0-8 for this yard but he wasn't beaten far despite finishing fifth of six at Hamilton (6f, good to soft; acts on quicker) last month; mark continues to come down and that latest effort suggested he may be rediscovering his level; possibilities.

4 yo Colt

OR: 62

Form & Verdict
Three AW wins over 6f this year, including twice at Lingfield; best to forgive latest effort (did too much up front over 7f); possibilities provided he's effective at this new trip.

Elvetham

J: Darragh Keenan

T: Conrad Allen

Three AW wins this year, the latest here (6f) nine days ago; only 3lb higher under a penalty (1lb ahead of the handicapper) and he has form over a mile so this trip should be fine; one to consider.

J: Jack Gilligan

Won 6f handicaps at Kempton and here earlier this year; some good runs since and it was his first visit to Epsom when below par there last week.

6 yo Gelding

OR: 60

Form & Verdict
Five wins on turf; came up well short last time when bidding for a Chepstow double; far from solid on his AW form and has something to prove back in this sphere.

J: Joe Leavy

T: Charlie Wallis

Popped up from nowhere when winning in a first-time tongue-tie over C&D (soft) nine days ago; well drawn as it turned out that day and recent history suggests he's no certainty to repeat the effort, back up 4lb and into a better race.

J: Joe Leavy

T: Charlie Wallis

On a long losing run and he went too freely in first-time cheekpieces for his new yard when a below-par fourth of eight in 5f Lingfield handicap 18 days ago; tongue tied now with more required.

14/1

Form: 364360 C

Last run: 12 days

W: 8st 9lb

5 yo Colt

OR: 51

Form & Verdict
Has extended his losing sequence in three attempts for new yard but is interesting off current mark back at Lingfield, assuming he takes well to added blinkers; three-time course winner (AW/turf).

Seven-time winner for Dylan Cunha, from whom he was picked up for 16,000gns last month having regressed in recent times; fair effort in a first-time tongue-tie for his new yard behind Dragon God on Sunday; chance of turning that round back up to 6f.

Verdict

There are a few angles for optimism as regards NO RETURN, who gets the vote ahead of course winners Mart and Elvetham in that order of preference.[Steve Bow]
