Won a Newbury maiden on debut and shaped well on first two starts of last season. Holds entries in the Royal Hunt Cup and Wokingham. Today could be the right time to catch him off a career low mark.
Winner of six races and acts on any surface. Last three wins have come off marks of 81,82 and 83 so he is creeping closer to his level. Won't be far away and yard in form.
Down the field on his last two starts although he was not well drawn at Chester. Looking correctly handicapped now and back in right grade over a suitable trip. Useful claimer booked and yard appear in better form.
Has hit form recently with three wins from four starts. Should come on for his C&D success and still relatively lightly raced; should get a decent pace to aim at so plenty to like on his second start for this yard.
Sole success came on the AW over 5f in August 2015 . Well beaten on his final two runs of 2016 at Ascot in October and Kempton in November. Was Group-placed on turf at two but others are preferred despite falling handicap mark. May be better at 5f.
Won this 12 months ago off 3lb higher. Out of form since but has attracted support on his last two starts and possible excuses for those defeats. Goes well here and looks a definite player.
Has shown enough in the past to suggest he could land this but last couple of efforts do not suggest he is near that level.
All three wins have come over 5f. Has been disappointing since the latest of these last June and continues to drop in the weights.
Won twice under this rider for Richard Hannon over 5f. Has struggled off revised mark following a 4L victory a year ago and will probably need this.
Unexposed but last couple of runs have been poor. Ran Fastnet Tempest to 1¾L in a maiden last year, a run that suggests he may need rain and a longer trip.

Forecasts
King Of Spin (5/2), Danecase (3/1), Rio Ronaldo (7/2), Monteverdi (7/2), Compas Scoobie (4/1), Major Pusey (10/1), Sir Billy Wright (10/1), Cool Bahamian (11/1), Bahamian Dollar (20/1), Field of Vision (20/1), Wiley Post (33/1), Sumou (40/1)
Rio Ronaldo landed this 12 months ago and has chances of doing so again off a lower mark. Recent market confidence behind him raises hopes he may be coming back to his best. Cool Bahamian will run his usual honest race whilst King Of Spin is looking progressive. MONTEVERDI holds some lofty entries at Royal Ascot. He looks the sort to do best when fresh and a career low mark makes him attractive.
