9/2
A winner once on the level from 15 career starts, winning over 7f at Chepstow on her penultimate start, sent off favourite and making virtually all the running to win. Not disgraced in better company over 6f at Newbury recently, she will not be far away here.

16/1
His only win to date was in a 5f maiden at Chelmsford back in August 2015 when he landed odds of 2/5 with the minimal of fuss. Was gelded recently but has found it tough going since in most recent races, starting at long odds. Has plenty on his plate here.

3/1
A winner over 7f on his fourth career start over 7f at Goodwood back in August of last year but was a beaten favourite in his next two outings. Stepped up to a mile recently, he ran really well when chasing home See The Master at Chepstow last time and a repeat run here will take him close.

5/1
A game short-head winner over 6f on the AW at Wolverhampton last November and opened his account on turf with an impressive victory over 6f on this track back in May when staying on strongly. A disappointing favourite when setting a fast pace over 5f at Newbury recently, but has a chance on his best form.

16/1
Has been a wonderful servant down the years winning 12 of her 108 career races on the level, finishing second and third in several other races. She rattled off a superb hat-trick in May over 6f and has run well in defeat in all races since. Represents outstanding each-way value.

5/2
A winner over 6f at Chelmsford back in December, staying on in determined fashion to beat Arzaak by a neck. Faded late on when beaten only 2L in a 7f handicap at Newbury last time, a repeat of that performance here will take him close.

10/1
Romped home on his second career run over 5f at Wolverhampton around a year ago, landing odds of 200/1 in the process! Kicked off 2017 in sensational style with three further wins on the AW for William Haggas before moving to his new stable. Will be winning again soon.

12/1
Lightly raced maiden, has been placed in three of his six career starts to date running his two best races at Brighton, placed in races over 5f and 6f. Has run below par in his last two outings and a watching brief is advised.

Forecasts

Coastal Cyclone (5/2), Procurator (3/1), Carpe Diem Lady (9/2), Swanton Blue (5/1), Delagate This Lord (6/1), Dandy Flame (10/1), Raffle King (12/1), Whitecrest (16/1), Field of Vision (16/1)

Verdict

Delegate This Lord and Swanton Blue fought out a desperate finish over 6f at Newbury last time and at the revised weights there will not be much between that pair. The ultra-consistent Whitecrest seldom runs a bad race and she is well worth an each-way bet at a decent price. Carpe Diem Lady likes to race up with the pace and is sure to run another big race tonight but the one to be on here could be PROCURATOR. Trained by Richard Hannon, he ran an excellent race when chasing home See The Master at Chepstow last time and a repeat run here may well be good enough.
