Four time winner including at Chelmsford over 6f off a 5lb lower mark in September. Debuted for this yard when finishing fourth of 9 over 7f at the same venue last month and a first runner at this track for his trainer.

Successful on good-to-firm ground in a 14 runner event over 7f at Leicester in August. Best effort since came when beaten a head over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton in February. Drop in trip here looks sure to suit having run over 1m3f last time out.

Maiden after 11 outings. One of his better efforts when finishing 2¾L fourth of ten at Chelmsford over 1m on the AW earlier this month. Having just his fourth outing on turf and wearing blinkers for the first time today.

Off the mark at the sixth time of asking when winning over 6f at Kempton last time out. Being held up seemed to suit on that occasion and this return to 7f looks unlikely to inconvenience him. Interesting off a 4lb higher mark here.

Remains a maiden after 16 outings. Finished runner-up in a nine runner contest over this trip on the AW at Chelmsford last time out. Finished second on three of her five runs for this stable but likely to find at least one too good here.

Victorious three times from 44 career starts including off a 1lb higher mark here over 6f (good-to-firm) in September 2016. Subsequently finished second over the same C&D off a mark 7lb higher than he races off here and looks likely to run well having finished runner-up over 7f on the AW last time out.

Successful in a selling handicap over 6f (good) here in May last year. Below par in the main since then and races off a 1lb lower mark here. Has a useful apprentice booked to ride in this and worth a check in the market.

Successful in a selling handicap over 6f (good-to-firm) here in July 2015 but well beaten in two outings in 2017. Returns from a near three month absence here and races from 1lb out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Quiet Warrior (9/4), Virile (10/3), Fleeting Glimpse (9/2), Tidal's Baby (6/1), Sexton Blake (13/2), Hidden Gem (8/1), Tulip Dress (10/1), Indus Valley (14/1), Gypsy Rider (50/1)

Verdict

VIRILE can claim this 7f handicap having finished runner-up on his two most recent outings on the AW. The most recent of those came off a 1lb lower mark at Lingfield last week. The selection won over 6f here last year and can get the better of Kempton winner Fleeting Glimpse here with the latter likely to be saved for a late run. The locally trained Sexton Blake can take third here in the first time blinkers.
