50/1
Five wins in Ireland but has run poorly at this track on all three starts since joining current yard. Dropping in the weights but a great deal more needed if he is to get involved.

9/2
Has two wins and two places from 10 turf starts on the Flat. Went well over C&D three weeks ago following a five month break and should be thereabouts with that run under his belt.

Both victories so far have come on the AW including over 1m3f off a 6lb lower mark in January. Runs to a consistent level but needs to find something extra if to reverse recent placings with Captain Felix..

11/2
18-race maiden who appears best suited to some give in the ground. Likely pacemaker in this and vulnerable having gone up 2lb for his latest defeat.

Sole win in 36 starts came on soft ground at Leicester in autumn 2013. Continues to flatter to deceive and likely to find something too good once more.

2/1
Rattled off a hat-trick at the start of the year before the handicapper caught up with him. Continues to find this mark just beyond him but has met two improvers lately and this opposition looks far more exposed.

Has a 3-32 record and appears well treated on his best form. Goes well fresh but still likely to need this following a 14 month break.

20/1
Winner here off a much higher mark last year and appeared on her way back at Doncaster four weeks ago. That was not such a good race and a 4lb rise against better horses found her out last time.

Has two wins and three places from nine starts around here. Has dropped to an attractive mark and appeared to be nearing his turn last time.

Well beaten on both starts this term and stable are without a winner since April. Hard to fancy on both accounts.

Forecasts

Boychick (2/1), Captain Felix (9/2), Maroc (11/2), Cordite (6/1), Moojaned (7/1), Camakasi (10/1), Della Valle (20/1), Tatawu (33/1), Heezararity (33/1), Udogo (50/1)

Verdict

This is a race that will take little winning and presents BOYCHICK with an obvious opportunity to add to his string of successes from earlier in the year. Ed Walker's charge has been unlucky to bump into a couple of unexposed improvers on his last two starts and he meets a more moderate bunch in this. Captain Felix represents the biggest danger having gone well last time following an absence whilst recent rain will help the likely front-runner Maroc to go close. Moojaned goes well around here and his latest effort suggested his handicap mark was becoming more attractive.
