Winner off a 6lb lower mark on turf at Newmarket last summer. Makes debut for new yard here having finished runner-up off 1lb lower mark at Lingfield in a 1m4f contest last time out.

16/1
Finished runner-up to dual Group 1 winner Simple Verse on debut but yet sole success for this stable came in a 1m4f maiden at Catterick in June 2015. Well beaten in two runs since being gelded and has first outing since October 2015 in this.

4/6
Winner over 1m4f here off a 12lb lower mark back in November and beaten a head over 2m at Lingfield subsequently. Disappointing when odds-on over an extended 2m here in January and drops back in trip for this.

Age: 13|  Weight: 9-5| J: T Eaves| T: D M Simcock| OR:  81
7/1
Winner over 1m4f at Lingfield for previous yard and finished a close enough third over 1m6f on debut for current stable last month. Very disappointing upped in trip at Newcastle earlier this month but this trip should prove more suitable.

Age: 14|  Weight: 9-3| J: Ben Robinson(7)| T: B Ellison| OR:  75
8/1
Winner of a maiden at Newcastle when sent off 66/1 on his penultimate outing. Finished last of five though not beaten far subsequently. Steps up in trip here but handicap mark looks on the high side.
6
Horse silk
Takbeerp39
Age: 14|  Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR:  74
16/1
Well beaten in two outings since joining this yard from France. Latest of those came here early last month. Handicap mark has dropped 6lb for that but this step up in trip not the most obvious move on form.

Forecasts

Charismatic Man (4/6), Dolphin Village (6/1), Tetradrachm (7/1), Persian Steel (8/1), Takbeer (16/1), Marmion (16/1)

Verdict

DOLPHIN VILLAGE can take this on debut for a new yard here. The selection has made the frame the last twice including over 1m4f at Lingfield last time out and shaped on that occasion as if this extra distance would suit. Charismatic Man has been a beaten favourite the last twice including when odds-on here last time out but should appreciate this drop back in trip while Tetradrachm can put a poor effort last time behind him by claiming third here.
