Winner on the A/W at Wolverhampton last November, ran well on seasonal debut back there in May but not so good in two subsequent starts. Drops in grade and a change of headgear today may help, but this trip an unknown.

Winner on Southwell's Fibresand in April, and did go close over this C&D last year, so has form that gives him a chance, but needs to bounce back from a couple of disappointing efforts over C&D this spring. Break may have done him good and not discounted.

Winner on debut at Thirsk last year but has quickly become regressive, and addition of blinkers last time out did nothing. Chances on best form but needs a huge leap of faith to get with her now, and others preferred.

Yet to win in 14 starts, but didn't do too badly when fourth on first run for new yard (who are flying at present) at Wolverhampton, sticking to the task and this drop back in trip may help. Looks one of the more likely players here.

9/1
Infrequent winner that does most of her racing on artificial surfaces there days, and does have some form here if you go back far enough. This trip further than her optimum, however, and she's never won at it. On that, others preferred.

Well beaten all three starts to date, still looking like he was learning the game here last time and the addition of a hood didn't seem to help. Drops in grade but profile nowhere near solid enough, and others preferred.

Veteran that's an infrequent winner, but ran well enough for new yard when second at Wolverhampton in June, ridden prominently and responding quite well for pressure. Not so good next time but new headgear and step up in trip may help, so not discounted.

Sprang a 40/1 surprise at Thirsk for another yard last year, but no win since and has looked regressive, hanging very badly last time out. New yard have made a good start but this one simply looks too risky to get involved with at present.

Old boy pops up every now and then and he does have form on the surface, but asking a lot for him to win at a new trip at the age of 10 and others look to have better chances today.

Looked regressive but stopped the rot with a better run on the turf track here last time, leading and sticking on well enough to finish a clear second. Yet to win in 18 starts but can get involved if that wasn't a flash in the pan, and she can build on it.

Beaten out of sight on last couple of runs, at a variety of trips, and hard to see him getting involved here.

Forecasts

Sevilla (13/8), Russian Ranger (11/2), Moving Robe (7/1), Gunner Moyne (8/1), Solid Justice (8/1), Schottische (9/1), Its A Sheila Thing (10/1), Gold Merlion (12/1), Star Links (14/1), Just Fab (14/1), Fairy Mist (25/1), Good Bond (40/1), Silver Lining (66/1)

Verdict

Olly Murphy can do little wrong at present and SEVILLA may be another winner for the yard. He looked like he still had something to offer when fourth at Wolverhampton and in a moderate race, can get back on the scoresheet. Its A Sheila Thing didn't do too badly last time and isn't out of it if she's not flattered by that. Star Links may do better under these conditions and might be able to get in the places, but overall a race to tread carefully with.
