Picked up two wins when stable hit a purple patch in May, including one under today's rider. Not as good recently off his revised mark and stable have been quieter too.
All four of his victories have come in this grade and he is looking more reasonably treated now. Stable have had a good month and he cannot be ruled out.
New trainer has made a sensational start to his career with some moderate looking horses. Record now stands at four winners and four seconds from his first eleven runners. These include this Brighton scorer who is now 5lb higher in the weights but ridden by a claimer who knows him well. Looks set to give another good account.
An AW winner in April at Wolverhampton over this trip he doesn't have many outings on turf these days. Below that form here and at Musselburgh more recently so has plenty to prove.
Has won one race per year throughout his career and now just below last summer's winning mark. Yet to win over this trip but has shown he stays this far. Dropped in class and top rider booked.
Nine-race maiden and beaten a long way in her recent starts. Hard to see her improving with her trainer going through a quiet spell.
Beaten 7L over C&D last month. Races off the same mark here but without a win since April 2016. Stable have been in better shape lately and easy to se him being thereabouts off a mark 16lb below his last success.
Made a mockery of the handicapper when dictating the pace and winning as she pleased last month. Turned out a week later under a penalty when comfortably beaten last of three and 2lb higher here. Hard to say whether the quick turnaround or the faster conditions were to blame, but this looks more competitive and she is tackling a new trip.
Hood and handicap debut failed to produce any discernible improvement last month. Tackles a new trip but hard to build a case on what we have seen.
Yet to win in 15 races including a dozen in this grade. Particularly poor last time and now down to a career low mark.
8-67 record but without a win since August 2014. On a career low mark and he goes well for this rider.
Landed six 5f races for Kevin Ryan as a juvenile but has failed to score since. Trying a new trip having been noted staying on over 1m2f on penultimate start and having flopped over 1m more recently. Sire can be an influence for stamina so there is justification for the experiment.

Olly Murphy has made a bright start to his training career and the Brighton scorer DOVE MOUNTAIN can provide him with another winner. A penalty for that success is offset by a good claimer who has ridden him previously into a close second off this mark. Theydon Girls has claims on her Yarmouth success, if taking the view her last run came too soon. Surround Sound and Angelical are consistent in this grade and Tyrsal is dropped in class.
