Has recorded six wins in his career so for including success over tonight's course and distance on his penultimate start under William Carson. Held up to get 2f further here last time, he was unable to get on terms and the drop back to 1m4f should suit.
As game and consistent as they come, placing in 10 of his 13 career starts but he still can't get to the winning post first. He was staying on in a race over 1m2f here last time but the winner that day, See of Rome was an effortless 5L winner. Sure to be on the premises again, longer trip could suit also.
He showed nothing special in three outings as a two-year-old and was subsequently gelded. Odds-on for his return run following a six-month lay-off, he was just held by Bartholomew over 1m2f at Yarmouth in May and justified favouritism over a slightly longer trip at Carlisle. On the up and could take all the beating over this longer trip.
A beaten favourite on his debut run over a mile at Kempton last August, he is a winner waiting to happen having been placed in all three subsequent outings, just unable to reel in Here And Now over this trip at Lingfield last time. Has been well fancied for all of his races to date and nothing will change here. Leading contender on handicap and turf debut.
Nothing special at long odds in each of her first four races, but she duly opened her account next time out in a race over 1m2f on this track 12 months ago under a determined ride from Timmy Murphy. Off the track since October, others appear to have stronger claims.
Three-year-old has run some decent races in all of his outings so far this season but he remains a maiden after 10 career starts. Beaten over 12L in a race over this course and distance last time, he will do well to open his account this evening.
Son of Zoffany has yet to get his head in front but has displayed some ability in his races to date, notably when beaten 4L behind Pow Wow in a race over course and distance last month. Blinkered this evening and they could make all the difference. Not without a chance.

SOLO MISSION has taken time to come to hand but is clearly heading in the right direction and looks the one they all have to beat here. Just unable to reel in Bartholomew at Yarmouth on his penultimate start, he was a good winner at Carlisle last time and this slightly longer trip should bring about some further improvement. Prerogative is an each-way backers dream, placing 10 times in 13 starts and although he has yet to get his head in front, he is as honest as a day is long and will give you a run for your money. Oxford Don has time to improve and is one to note making a debut on turf while Balashakh has yet to start a race at odds of more than 11/4 and his supporters will be back in numbers again.
