On a losing run stretching back 23 races to 2015. Can prove hard to settle so the drop to 7f may be a wise move. Down in grade and the opposition is much weaker than he has faced of late.
Beat a subsequent winner on his return but failed to capitalise on that, having escaped a penalty, when down the field at Musselburgh. Now 5lb higher in the weights and racing at a track where he has made the frame once in eight visits.
Closely matched with Dark Crystal on running here last July and would be another who would appreciate some rain. Yard have been quiet but horses have recently shown signs that there may be better times ahead.
Currently 1-17 having picked up a race when the yard could no wrong. Stable have been much quieter over the past fortnight and he has since been put in his place at Newcastle. May prove a different proposition back on turf but trainer just 1-32 here.
Won a couple of races at Chepstow last summer and shaped well off this mark subsequently before running as though something was amiss in September. Returns after an eight month absence and probably best watched.
Seems suited by a quick surface and has been in good heart since Spring with her only poor effort coming on soft ground. Took advantage of a good opportunity at Lingfield last month and not disgraced over a trip short of her best at Cork last time.
Better effort when going down narrowly to stable companion here last time. Up in trip but facing a hard task from 6lb out of the weights.

So It's War (9/4), Burren View Lady (11/4), The Name's Paver (5/1), Ss Vega (6/1), Destination Aim (6/1), Tanawar (15/2), Dark Crystal (10/1), Diamonds A Dancing (14/1), Niqnaaqpaadiwaaq (14/1), Reinforced (14/1), Charava (16/1), Kensington Palace (20/1)
Niqnaaqpaadiwaaq is back on a track where he has gone well previously and would be worth a market check with the yard's form looking patchy at present. The Name's Paver and Destination Aim clashed at Thirsk last month with the latter expected to come on for the run and turn the tables. Dark Crystal and Charava are closely matched on their running here in July. Both would appreciate some rain and the selection SO IT'S WAR is more straightforward. Keith Dalgleish's charge is dropped in grade following a satisfactory run last time and he can gain an overdue win. Burren View Lady has been running well of late and has place claims at least should conditions remain as quick as forecast.
