Has managed to win one race a year throughout his career but he may need some help from the handicapper on turf where he is without a win since 2014.
Comes for this in preference to a race at Brighton on Tuesday evening. Connections will be looking for the softer forecast ground and hoping her consistency is rewarded. Stable are overdue a winner.
Losses are beginning to mount but he usually covers his expenses by reaching the frame. Trip and ground are fine so it could be a similar story again.
Has proven himself effective in this grade and over this trip. Raised just 2lb for his Musselburgh victory and now needs to prove his effectiveness on a slower surface. Sire's progeny tend to have little difficulty in that regard.
This will be the first time in some while he has had a suitable trip on ground he requires. One to note in the market for his local handler.
10-race maiden who is generally in the firing line without managing to make the first three. A further drop in the weights and a return to 7f at this venue are positives which make him worthy of each-way support in a mediocre race.
13-race maiden who has underperformed on his last two starts. Gets a big drop in the weights here and only market support would make his case more compelling.
Improved effort last time but remains without a win in four years and best form has come on faster ground.
Has a 2-26 record but yet to make the frame since moving to this yard. Looks too difficult to recommend at present.
Has failed to beat a rival home on his last four starts and does not appear to handle soft ground.
Supported last time on soft ground at Carlisle over 6f and the work she was putting in close home suggests this extra furlong will help. Looks one for the shortlist off this weight.

The Stalking Moon (7/2), Cupid's Arrow (4/1), Great Colaci (5/1), Captain Peaky (13/2), Cool Strutter (7/1), The Amber Fort (7/1), Tom's Anna (8/1), Lucky Lodge (10/1), Albizu Campos (10/1), Hollywood Harry (25/1), Leonard Thomas (28/1), Ivors Involvement (33/1), Mulwith (100/1)
GREAT COLACI arrives bidding to complete a hat-trick and the handicapper has handed him a good opportunity to do just that with a 2lb rise for his latest success. Albizu Campos and Cupid's Arrow offer some each-way value in a race that will take little winning. Leonard Thomas looks interesting off this mark and with conditions to suit. Market support for him would make him a more viable proposition.
- Great Colaci
- Cupid's Arrow
- Albizu Campos
