Drops in class following three undistinguished runs in maidens. Makes handicap debut for yard with a better than expected 12-48 record at the course. Blinkers equipped for the first time and one to watch in the market.
C&D winner in May who was claimer ridden when given plenty to do at Windsor last time. Successful pilot back on board here and opposition is not particularly strong.
20 races since his sole victory and looked on his way back when travelling strongly for a long way last time. Tackles a new trip and has been dropping quickly down the weights. With the stable (no winners since February) showing signs recently of getting the horses back to form, then his turn may be near.
Off the track since finishing third at Chelmsford in December. Racing for his third trainer in as many starts over a trip which looks short of his best.
Met trouble in running when a well supported favourite here a week ago. Makes a quick reappearance having been eased once his chance had gone. Cheekpieces go back on.
Career best effort came here on softer ground. Yard 0-46 this year and hard to see this filly opening their account judged on recent efforts.
Career record of 0-26 and latest efforts have been uninspiring. Has plenty to find from 5lb out of the handicap.
Showed signs of temperament going down to the start last time in a Leicester claimer. That was a decent race for the grade but she never threatened to get involved despite staying on in the latter stages. Handicap mark is attractive enough but her recent efforts raise doubts she can exploit it.
Yet to trouble the judge in seven starts and steps up in trip here. Due to be partnered by the apprentice find of the season who steered three unfancied runners into the frame for this yard last week.
Showed a bit more on turf debut here two weeks ago. Still has something to find but that was only his fifth start so there is room for more to come.

Montycristo and Peking Flyer have less miles on the clock than most in this and as such are worth monitoring in the market. Av A Word has C&D form and was set a difficult task last time. Hercullian Prince travelled well for a long way on his most recent start before failing to quicken. With his yard showing signs of returning to form, and having plummeted down the weights, there is every chance he could give his yard an overdue winner. CHUNKYFUNKYMONKEY has improved since going handicapping and followed a career best effort at Goodwood with a run down the field here last week. He was hampered when mounting his challenge that day and was not knocked about once his chance had gone. This looks a good opportunity to recover losses incurred that day.
