Son of Galileo out of a winner of two Listed sprints and a half-brother to two Group winning sprinters. Still looked green when scoring on handicap debut at Newcastle in October. Off the track since and a 9lb rise is factoring in plenty of improvement. In capable hands and trainer/jockey combination are 23-104 around here.
Form has dipped lately and now back down to last winning mark. Stable are without a winner since February.
Three years since last success on the Flat and well beaten on four previous starts on AW tracks. Starts career for new trainer with a lot to prove.
Rattled off a hat-trick at the start of the year before the handicapper caught up with him. Not disgraced on last three starts and this is not as competitive as the numbers suggest. Trainer 16-70 around here and has leading claims of taking this.
Dropping down the weights after taking a stiff hike for an impressive victory four months ago. Just 1lb highernow but meets less exposed rivals and stable have not had a Flat winner since January. One to note when the yard's fortunes change.
Dead-heated with another Ed Walker trained horse here a month ago. Beaten in the Newbury mud since but will be seen to better effect here. Stable are 0-19 in past fortnight.
Lightly raced ex-Irish gelding who failed to build on previous promise last time. Cheekpieces now go on but this looks a stronger than usual Class Five event for the track.
Produced late to win two of his last three including an apprentice race at Kempton last week under this rider. Escapes a penalty and rates an obvious danger to his less exposed rivals.
Goes well around here (one win, three places and not beaten far in other four). Down to his last winning mark but that was 12 races ago in 2015. His turn may be near but this is a hot race for the grade.
Winner of five races around here but only 1-29 in this grade. Stable are without a winner since February.

Lugano (2/1), Boychick (11/4), Victor's Bet (9/2), Hussar Ballad (8/1), Pour L'Amour (9/1), Star Glitter (12/1), Callaghan (16/1), Yasir (40/1), Fast Play (66/1), Sailors Warn (66/1), Karam Albaari (80/1)
Victor's Bet escapes a penalty for last week's success but steps up in grade now and is unfortunate to find himself against two improving types. Boychick won three races earlier this year and has run well in defeat of his new mark since. LUGANO is a typical Sir Mark Prescott type who has been brought along slowly. The son of Galileo is bred to be a lot better than this and although he beat little at Newcastle last time there is probably an awful lot more to come.
