Signs of promise as a two-year-old last year but disappointing upped in trip on first run since being gelded when finishing 6L second (passed the post third) over this trip when sent off odds-on favourite in March. Makes his handicap debut in first time cheekpieces here.

Placed on both outings since being gelded last year. Made his seasonal debut at Nottingham last month when beaten 2¾L into third on good-to-firm ground. Step up in trip looks likely to suit and one for the shortlist off a 1lb higher mark here.

Maiden after six outings with her best effort coming when beaten ½L into second over an extended 1m at Nottingham last August. Beaten 4L here over an extended 1m1f in March on her first run since August and steps up in trip today.

Well beaten in four races since winning over 1m at Musselburgh (good) in October. Falling down the weights as a result of some heavy recent defeats over 7f and an interesting runner upped to this trip for the first time today.

C&D winner off a 7lb lower mark on his penultimate outing in March. Well held over this distance at Southwell when last of four a month ago but not written off just yet returning to this track.

Well held in three maiden's at up to an extended 1m last year. Latest of those came at Nottingham last October and he is upped in trip for his first start in handicap company.

Forecasts

Brimham Rocks (5/4), Shadow Warrior (7/2), Ladofash (7/2), Laureate (15/2), Tor (12/1), Red Caravel (12/1)

Verdict

LAUREATE looks likely to try and make all upped in trip to 1m4f for the first time in this contest. Mark Johnston's charge finished 4L fourth in a maiden here on her return in March and looks likely to be granted a relatively easy lead in this three-year-old handicap. Red Caravel disappointed at Kempton over this distance last time out but can put that behind him with cheekpieces applied here and is taken to claim second ahead of Shadow Warrior who finished third over 1m2f on turf last time out.
