Recorded his third career victory when winning over 6f at Wolverhampton on the AW last month. Races off a 5lb higher mark today and worth a check in the market in this.

Finished third the last twice including over C&D on soft ground last month. Contested a five runner event at Lingfield at the weekend and any rain would aid his chances in this.

Scraped home by a nose over an extended 5f at Bath on good-to-firm ground on his penultimate outing a month ago. Well held off this 2lb higher mark over the same C&D subsequently but not written off just yet.

13 race maiden but put in one of his better efforts when fourth of 12 over 7f at Leicester (good-to-soft) last month. Races off a 5lb lower mark today but others look more likely.

Finished runner-up to Zophilly at Bath (soft) in May and ran a decent race over 5f on soft ground when fourth here subsequently. Well held off a higher mark last time and over a year since he last won.

Running well without placing prior to finishing ninth over an extended 5f at Bath (firm) two weeks ago. Rated 1lb higher than when winning at Bath (good-to-firm) in September last year but likely needs more assistance from the handicapper.

Finished runner-up over 6f at Goodwood (good-to-soft) last time out when dropping back to 6f for the first time since a couple of outings in two-year-old maiden races last summer. Had just three starts in handicaps and interesting off a light weight.

Titus Secret (13/8), Champagne Bob (4/1), Spirit Of Rosanna (4/1), Sweet Pursuit (9/2), See You In Malta (11/1), Mallymkun (14/1), Fantasy Justifier (14/1), Tally's Song (14/1), Q Cee (16/1), Keene's Pointe (16/1), Candelaria (20/1), Burauq (25/1), Compton Prince (25/1), Diminutive (25/1), Zophilly (25/1), Diamond Vine (40/1)

Verdict

SWEET PURSUIT is relatively lightly raced having had just the three starts in handicap company and she is taken to break her duck in this competitive looking handicap. The selection finished runner-up over this distance last time and races off the same mark here. Titus Secret has been running well this year and races off a 5lb higher mark than when winning on the AW last time out while Spirit Of Rosanna is another to note having finished runner-up here on each of her last two starts.
