5/1
Has shown some promise in three maidens over 7f so far this term. Now goes handicapping from the sort of mark that a reproduction of his second run would give him claims from. Has a disappointment from last time out to overcome, but looks to have a squeak.

Put in a very good effort to be 1½L runner-up at Musselburgh on his handicap debut last month. Never in it when held up in a big field on Doncaster's round course last time. Drops 1lb for this and if you can forgive him that last run then he has a chance with 3lb claimer up.

Beaten less than 2L in a Chepstow handicap (1m, soft) from a 3lb lower mark last month. Since well beaten over 1m2f and gelded. Market check suggested to gauge any confidence in his ability to the job on his first start after that and also in first-time headgear.

Has done well since going handicapping on his last two starts, being runner-up at both Haydock (1m2f, good) and Hamilton (1m½f, good to firm). Raised 4lb going into this, but his form looks very solid in context and if he can find a bit extra he will go close.

Best two efforts have been with cut in the ground (including one over C&D), which she is unlikely to get here. Now dropped 1lb and has first start for new yard here. Needed first couple of starts last season and that may be the case again today after over nine months off.

7/1
Showed bits of promise over 6f-7f in maidens. Not a bad effort on her handicap debut at Kempton last month and now steps up in trip. From the same mark, that will need to elicit some improvement to see her become a genuine contender.

Forecasts

Breanski (13/8), The Eagle's Nest (5/2), Right About Now (5/1), Spirit Of Belle (6/1), Doria Road (7/1), Dream On Dreamer (33/1)

Verdict

THE EAGLE'S NEST never got competitive at Doncaster last time, but if you can forgive him that then his initial handicap effort at Musselburgh give him solid claims in this and he gets the vote. Right About Now has a similar profile and a big effort would be no surprise, while Breanski could be a leading player. Check out the market with regard to both Spirit Of Belle and Doria Road, who might both be capable of better.
