9/4
Fast finishing win at Doncaster at the Lincoln meeting but struggled back here last time. He was disappointing here on his final start as a two-year-old but too early to right off just yet and the return of this man in the saddle should be seen as a positive. It may be that he wants softer ground with both his wins coming with cut and perhaps best watched this time around.

Easy winner of a weak Kempton maiden towards the end of last year when scoring at odds of 4/11. Disappointing last month on his return to action though and hard to fancy off the back of that, despite still holding Dante and Derby entries.

Excellent debut here last month and followed up with a dominant win in a nice looking Leicester maiden. Handicapper not taken any chances but he looks progressive and there could still be more to come.

Finally off the mark at Lingfield two starts back but handicapper took a high opinion of that effort and he duly struggled in a handicap here last time. This looks tougher again and likely to struggle off the same mark again.

Didn't need to improve to win his maiden at Chelmsford and not disgraced in his follow-up effort at Bath on firm ground. With the third, fourth and fifth coming out and running well since, he could be well-handicapped off a mark of 86. Jockey booking for this stable catches the eye and plenty to like.

15/2
Failed to justify favouritism when a 2/9 shot at Lingfield but that race may have been a little hotter than first anticipated. Made no mistake when back at that track last time and open to progress but probably needs a chunk of improvement to take this contest.

11/1
Beat John Gosden's Trenchard in emphatic style on debut at Newcastle but form of that race hasn't really worked out and he struggled last time at Chelmsford and was tardy away from the gate. Others may be better handicapped.

Easy winner on debut but only moderate form since. Fair effort at Musselburgh on return but needs to step up on that to take a hand here in a deeper contest.

33/1
Easy winner at Chelmsford last time but main market rival ran out and beat little else of note in the field so a 4lb rise may overestimate him. Should be able to make a bold bid from his draw at least.

Forecasts

Bin Battuta (9/4), Mister Manduro (3/1), Oasis Charm (6/1), Dubai Horizon (15/2), Wahash (11/1), Harlow (11/1), Count Calabash (14/1), Leshlaa (16/1), Society Red (33/1), Specialist (33/1)

Verdict

The form of MISTER MANDURO's race at Bath last month has already been franked since and he could be well handicapped off this mark and gets the services of Ryan Moore. He wouldn't want to give Count Calabash too much rope on the front end while Oasis Charm may not be done progressing just yet.
  1. Mister Manduro
  2. Count Calabash
  3. Oasis Charm
