Has a 9-101 record but yet to score either on an AW track or over this trip. Tends to come to hand early in the season following a run or two and has posted six wins during May-June. Booking of leading apprentice looks significant off a mark 7lb below her latest success. Has been running lately as though needing this longer trip.

Took advantage of both a reluctant favourite and a well-judged ride from her leading lady amateur last time. Has more to do here from 3lb higher.

Sole win in 20 starts came over C&D in February. Has gone well on both starts since including over an inadequate trip last time. Likes to come from off a strong pace and looks set to get just that.

7/2
Attracted support on his last two starts and makes handicap off a mark which makes him interesting. He fetched £75,000 at the sales and needs to show something here if that tag is to be justified. Wears a hood for the first time.

5/2
Ran well in a better race than this on his seasonal debut at Nottingham and interesting that he turns out again so quickly for an in-form yard. Sound claims in a weak race and stepping up in trip.

Has returned from an eight month break and is yet to approach the form he was showing a year ago. Trainer and jockey have been enjoying some success lately but this veteran looks hard to recommend at present.

15-race maiden but has gone well on her last two starts on turf including when shouldering 3lb overweight last time. Jockey booking looks interesting.

Has been well beaten on all starts and continues to plummet down the weights. Looks one of the more difficult projects facing her skilful trainer.

The Big Short (5/2), Zavikon (7/2), Quiet Warrior (7/2), Strictly Carter (4/1), Castlerea Tess (11/2), Maggi May (6/1), Dalalah (8/1), Spirit Of Gondree (14/1), Whitecrest (18/1), Insolenceofoffice (22/1), Rojina (25/1), Foxinthehenhouse (33/1), Chillililli (50/1)

Verdict

This is the time of year to catch WHITECREST and the booking of a much sought after apprentice catches the eye. She has been dropping down the weights and has been shaping recently as though needing this longer trip. Quiet Warrior is holding his form well and his stable continue to send out winners whilst Strictly Carter is another who has been running consistently well lately and will have the race run to suit. Zavikon is interesting on his handicap debut whilst Dalalah has looked more promising of late and she is worth a check in the market with the jockey booking catching the eye.
