Still 3lb higher than his most recent win at Carlisle last season and has been competitive from 1lb higher than today on all of her last three starts, without threatening to win any of them. Not sure that the 1lb drop will tip the scales sufficiently in her favour.

Well held in better company last time, but was touched off by just a nose when last seen in this grade at Beverley (1m½f, good) in May. 1lb lower today and likely to be a leading contender.

Goes well here and won over 1m½f (good to firm) at the track in May from 3lb lower. Not far away on soft ground over C&D last time and from the same mark and back on fast ground, he looks set to go close again.

Has not added to his back-to-back wins from 2015, though he has been competitive on all three starts this season. Has gone up again slightly in the weights as a result of that, making it very tough for him to end the drought for the time being.

Completed a hat-trick on turf/ALl Weather in the autumn but has been in the grip of the handicapper in two start so far this term. Gelded since the most recent of those in May. That could help him to return to form and a market check is suggested on that front following a 2lb drop.

Slid in the weights before coming good when shouldering joint top weight to success at Bath last time (1m2f, firm). Steps up in grade with his resulting 6lb rise here but may now be able to find further improvement.

Forecasts

Desert Ruler (2/1), Fivehundredmiles (3/1), X Rated (7/2), Mohab (6/1), Hidden Rebel (8/1), Rashford's Double (11/1), Maraakib (12/1)

Verdict

X Rated may be capable of improvement having got a first handicap win under his belt, but FIVEHUNDREDMILES is also in good form and fast ground might be the key to him winning again at the track. Mohab is very much respected, while Rashford's Double could return to form after being gelded and a market check is suggested.
