Carries a 6lb penalty for her recent win which completed a hat-trick over C&D. Thriving of late but the penalty does just push her up in grade and this will be harder.
Out-and- out front runner who won twice over C&D in March off marks of 63 and 69 but has struggled a little of late off higher marks. Well below form last timeout on turf and will need a easy lead to show his best here.
In good form on the AW at the start over the year over sprint trips and can be useful when he gets a pace to run at (often slow way). Below form back on turf last time and may do better back on the AW over a trip that suits.
Not won for well over a year now and not really showing that he's going to take advantage of a good mark anytime soon running well below form again last time.
In good form last year winning three handicaps with the last two coming on the AW at Kempton over 6f. Shaped well on her return from a break back on turf at Doncaster last time (held-up) and she would be of interest here if reverting to more positive tactics off a mark just 2lb above her last winning one.
Winner on the AW earlier in the year with the wins coming at Wolverhampton and Chelmsford. Not seen to best effect last time over C&D and would benefit from a strong gallop.
Winner on his debut over 6f when with Richard Hannon but has been unsuccessful since then and his last three runs (well backed last time) have been disappointing for this yard.
Just one win from 19 starts probably tells its own tales and he basically looks rather out of sorts at the moment always on the back foot from early on last time out.

Forecasts
Top of The Bank (7/4), King Of Swing (11/4), Major Crispies (6/1), Curious Fox (7/1), Hamish Mcgonagain (8/1), Whitecrest (9/1), K'gari Spirit (10/1), Fleckerl (12/1), Torment (20/1)
Whitecrest comes here at the top of her game but the penalty will make life harder as she bids to complete a four-timer. Both Hamish Mcgonagain and K’Gari Spirit will appreciate a strong gallop and they may get that with the pace pusher Top Of The Bank in the line-up. Overall though it could pay to take a chance with CURIOUS FOX who shaped well last time out and with a more positive ride may well outrun her odds in this returned to the AW.
- Curious Fox
- Hamish Mcgonagain
- Whitecrest
