Finished third the last twice including over this distance at Windsor (good-to-firm) last time out. Races off the same mark here and looks likely to run well once more.

Yet to run on the Flat for current yard but has run five times over hurdles. Well held in both blinkers and cheekpieces in that sphere the last twice and probably best watched on her return to the Flat here.

Beaten ½L into second over 1m4f at Brighton (good-to-firm) on his return to turf last month. Races off a 2lb higher mark here and likely to run well here having won off higher marks in the past.

Maiden following 23 starts including when beaten 1ÂĽL into second over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start. Finished fourth on the AW here subsequently and others make more appeal.

In good form for this yard in 2016 winning at Bath (good-to-soft) over 1m2f and placing at that track and at Newcastle subsequently. Satisfactory return when fourth over an extended 1m3f at Yarmouth (good-to-firm) earlier this month and likely to run well here.

Best effort so far came when runner-up over 1m at Chepstow (good-to-firm) in August last year. Form since has been over further than today's trip and shaped as if a drop in distance could suit when fifth at Wolverhampton last time..

Forecasts

Hope Is High (11/4), Brooke's Point (4/1), Go On Gal (6/1), Money Talks (7/1), Party Royal (8/1), Innoko (8/1), Powered (10/1), Hermarna (12/1), Hong Kong Joe (12/1), Sailor Malan (20/1), Movie Magic (33/1), Race Time (100/1)

Verdict

INNOKO is well handicapped on his old form and finished a close second when returning to form at Brighton at the start of the month. The selection is likely to be held up in this contest and can see off Party Royal who has finished third the last twice including at Windsor last time and is another likely to be racing from off the pace. Go On Gal may well fare best of those racing towards the head of affairs having finished one place behind the selection at Brighton last time.
