Useful on the AW and proved his turf mark could be lenient by finishing an excellent second of eight over C&D last time. Only up 1lb for that effort and while he's not one to rely upon, he can't be ruled out if returning in the same kind of form as last time.

Last win came at Meydan back in 2016 but couldn't get in the winners enclosure there this year. May come on for his most recent run at Doncaster and been given time to recover from that effort, however, suspicion is that he's not particularly well-handicapped.

Last win came over C&D but on a steady decline now. Still looks like he has one in him off his reduced mark but he probably needs faster ground to be seen at his very best.

Has shaped well in a pair of starts for this yard and not beaten far when upped in trip at Sandown last time. This 7lb claimer has enjoyed a good season so far and every chance the weight he takes off could see his mount get his head back in front. May want faster ground to be seen at his very best.

9/1
Won his maiden on the rowley course over 7f and may have needed his comeback run here in April. Slight concern he hasn't been since and handicap mark looks on the stiff side but he's one of the few unexposed runners in here at least.

11/4
Improved for his debut when winning at Lingfield last year and started the turf season off with a bang with a win at Leicester, holding on gamely. Perhaps went off a little too hard at Haydock last time but still more to come and he can't be ruled out off a fair looking mark.

Invincible Spirit filly, who is a half-sister to a winners over similar trips to this. Won at York on debut, beating a weak looking field but couldn't have won any easier and her handicap mark looks a little lenient. Interesting runner.

Forecasts

Finishing Touch (9/4), Private Mission (11/4), Dr Julius No (3/1), Supersta (8/1), Time Zone (9/1), Pactolus (10/1), Directorship (16/1), Groor (33/1)

Verdict

This may come down to the three-year-olds in the field and FINISHING TOUCH could be anything after winning on debut in an easy manner. Dr Julius gets the services of a useful 7lb claimer while Private Mission may be able to bounce back after a disappointing run on debut.
  1. Finishing Touch
  2. Dr Julius No
  3. Private Mission
