Could well get the run off the race here from the front although those tactics only saw her fold tamely last time out at Ayr over 7f. Had shown some promise a couple of starts ago but has failed to build on that in his last two starts.

Looks to be still finding feet with this yard and may well be better than he showed when finishing last of eight at Musselburgh last time returning from a break. Moves down a furlong in trip now with the tongue-tie going on for the first time and a market watch is advised coming from this very shrewd yard.

All of his winning form has come over 6f and he took advantage of a falling mark to win at Lingfield in February off a mark of 74. He's failed to build on that run though and was well beaten in a claimer last time out and needs a well run race to be seen to best effect.

Yard are struggling for form a little of late but he's shaped well of late and is effective around here having been placed here on his last three starts. Ran another creditable race last time out back on turf at Wetherby over 7f shaping better than his third place suggests and could well enjoy a return to this track and trip.

Useful sort on the AW although his last win came back in 2015 over a mile here. Was placed five times last year but has rather lost his way this year and hard to have much faith in at the current time.

3/1
Hails from a stable in cracking form and went close here last time over 6f and deserves some extra credit for being in the thick of the action all the way. Not had many attempts over this trip but worth a try at it and certainly one of the leading contenders here.

His last win came here over 6f off a 1lb lower mark and while he should appreciate this return to a longer trip he's never won over this far and has been below-par on his last two starts.

Forecasts

Dark Side Dream (3/1), Varsovian (3/1), Marbooh (9/2), Intensical (9/2), Kingsley Klarion (6/1), Billyoakes (12/1), Mezzotint (14/1)

Verdict

Hard to ignore the good form that the Chris Dwyer stable are in at the moment and that gives his DARK SIDE DREAM a leading chance here after his very solid attempt last time out. Intensical despite hailing from a yard that look to be struggling a little at the moment also appears to be running creditably and is hard to leave out of the equation here. Kingsley Klarion is the likely pace setter although his weak finish is something of a concern even if he does get the run of this and it may well be that Marbooh would be a better selection to round out the places at least.
  1. Dark Side Dream
  2. Intensical
  3. Marbooh
