Finished runner-up on both starts in 2017 including when beaten 1L over an extended 1m here on good ground earlier this month. Had earlier run well on the AW at Wolverhampton and he races off a 3lb higher mark today.
Maiden after seven starts and held in two outings since being gelded during the winter. Latest of those came when beaten 5L over an extended 1m here earlier this month and he returns to handicap company today.
Debut winner over 1m on the AW at Kempton in February but beaten 8L when making his turf and handicap debut at Windsor (good) last month. Interesting to see how he fares today.
Three starts in maiden company culminated in a 5L third over 1m at Kempton in March. Making his handicap and turf debut with a good jockey booked to ride in this.
Ayr fourth over 7f on good-to-firm ground last July the clear pick of her four efforts at two. Unraced since finishing a well held seventh at the same track on good-to-soft in September and makes her handicap debut here.
Well held in three maidens last autumn including when seventh over an extended 1m here on good ground last time out. Half-brother to the yards useful sprinter Perfect Tribute and open to improvement with blinkers applied for this handicap debut.
Maiden following nine outings including three in 2017. Well beaten in first time cheekpieces (left off here) over 7f at Yarmouth (good-to-firm) last month and races off a 3lb lower mark here.
Off the mark on debut for this yard and on first appearance of 2017 at Newcastle over 1m in March. Beaten 17L when last of 12 on handicap debut at Newmarket (good-to-firm) subsequently and wears cheekpieces for the first time here.
Finished in the first three in all four starts at three though disappointed since. Beaten 8L over 7f at Leicester (good-to-firm) last month. Others make more appeal at present.
Well held in two maiden races prior to being gelded and a similar result at Windsor (good) over 1m last time. Worth a check in the market on handicap debut.
Forecasts
Al Nafoorah (4/1), Mach One (9/2), Time To Sea (6/1), Armagnac (7/1), Rapid Rise (7/1), Dragons Voice (8/1), Musikel (8/1), Masonic (12/1), Broad Appeal (14/1), Junoesque (33/1)
A number of the runners in this contest have been ridden prominently in recent starts and with that in mind it may pay to side with David Brown's RAPID RISE in this contest. The selection was beaten 8L on his return to turf last time out but shaped as if this step up to 1m would suit and he can get the better of Al Nafoorah who finished runner-up at here on good ground earlier this month. Of their rivals in this contest Junoesque represents a yard in decent form at present while Mach One is open to improvement now that he tackles handicaps.
