Failed to justify market support on debut for yard. Stable in much better form now and longer trip could help. Any rain would help his cause.

Shaped well for his advancing years at Doncaster. Good rider on board and stable going well. 4lb higher in the weights and in danger of finding others better treated.

First time blinkers did the trick when landing a seller. Beaten off this mark in three starts since. C&D winner who acts on any ground and has the services of an experienced rider.

Landed his first Flat race since 2014 when landing a decent little C&D race three weeks ago. Rider scored on her only previous ride and definitely one for the shortlist.

Irish raider whose sole victory came at Redcar last autumn when a clear cut winner off 7lb lower. Would appreciate some rain and stable are on a barren run. Trainer has a fabulous record here of 14-49 for a 37 points level stakes profit. One to note in the market.

Sole win came at Dundalk in early 2016 and form has been patchy since. Rider has a career record of 6-29 so worth monitoring in the market.

Irish raider won a couple for Luca Cumani in 2013. Missed the whole of 2016 through injury but acquitted himself well from a poor draw last time. Still with something to find but interesting with good rider booked and new headgear combination fitted.

Sent off favourite in three of his last four starts and this Irish raider will benefit from the services of a much sought after rider. Remains a maiden but clearly of interest in a race that will take little winning.

Out of sorts of late but sent over by top Irish yard for a modest contest with a good rider employed.

Forecasts

High Expectations (7/2), Ripped (7/2), Jonny Delta (6/1), Meadow Cross (6/1), Thorntoun Care (11/1), Nafaath (11/1), Mallory Heights (11/1), Buzz Boy (12/1), Match My Fire (16/1), Sherman McCoy (16/1), Sergeant Pink (40/1)

Verdict

Jonny Delta arrives having scored here three weeks ago and will probably get another strong pace to run off. There is a strong raiding party from Ireland with High Expectations representing Gordon Elliott's powerful yard with a top rider booked. His recent form does not give him an obvious chance so a check in pre-race trading would be advisable. RIPPED has the services of Serena Brotherton on board and she is usually worth a few pounds to her mounts. That booking looks significant as he has been positively supported of late and there are excuses for his defeats. Everything looks right for him here and he is picked to shed his maiden tag.
