Ran well last year without winning (placed on all four runs). Only one decent run this term though on his second start at Haydock over 6f on soft so the ground should suit but was well held over C&D last time and is still to win a handicap.

His last win came back in 2015 and although he's turned in some creditable efforts since then the long losing run is a worry. Drops in grade here and does have soft ground form but he does generally flatter only to deceive.

Shaped and looked as though he would be better for his seasonal reappearance at Chester in May over 7f but failed to follow that up and was well down the field at Ayr last time. Did win in France on the AW but generally has something to prove here.

An AW winner on his debut this season (second career start) it has taken a while for the penny to drop in handicaps. Conditions suited him well when winning last time out with the strong gallop allowing him to settle far better and showing a good attitude at the finish. Up 6lb for that win he'll need to find some more improvement here.

Not a frequent winner and had been below his best this year before turning in a better effort last time out at Ayr. Below his last winning mark but still not one to rely on totally and others would be preferred.

It would be a struggle to say that he could be fancied on his form so far although his best run did come on soft at Newmarket over 7f. Can race freely though and often slow away and those two traits make him one to pass over here.

Not getting any younger but has already managed a hat-trick this year over 6f with the last win coming off 71. May have just found her busy spell catching up with her and the last two runs have just been modest.

Helped by being back down to his last winning mark when winning at Pontefract last August (Yeeoow was second) and now returns from a long break. Likes to go from the front but no great record fresh and best watched here on his return to action.

Starts life for a new yard having run well below form on his final two starts of last year. Capable on his day but can be rather temperamental but goes well fresh and is 4lb below his last winning mark here.

5/1
C&D winner who has really found her form of later with her last five runs reading 13212 and her upturn coinciding with the good form of the trainer. 5f here last time looked a little short for her and back over 6f she should be more at home being only 4lb above her last winning mark and still well below her career high one.

Verdict

One of the more competitive races on the card with ARTSCAPE looking the most progressive even though he’s off a higher mark here with his attitude looking very sound. Rantan is sure to be very well fancied but hasn’t won a handicap yet with Tanasoq looking one for the frame without his mark looking especially generous. Lexington Times has dropped to a dangerous mark but generally deceives more than he flatters while Socialites Red may still be able to continue her good run of form.
