Made a decent fist of it on his handicap debut at Kempton last time, but didn't quite have the pace over 1m. Handicapper has left him on the same mark for this, but this step up in trip offers scope for improvement and he could go well.

Not unfancied in all three starts so far for this yard, though yet to win any of them. They were all over 1m4f, so he now gets a drop in trip, a 2lb drop from the handicapper and the retention of cheekpieces (worn last time). Should be very competitive.

Couldn't win for Charlie Hills and, although he got closer to doing so on his first start for this yard and also ran well next time over this trip, he was well held back over 1m last time. 2lb drop and a return to this distance looks positive and he is not ruled out.

Debut maiden winner at Kempton (1m. AW) in February but has failed to answer the handicapper's demands since. Even so, last time was more encouraging when tried over this trip and a 2lb drop and application of a hood might help him to get closer to that second success.

Her best effort so far was in a Wolverhampton maiden (1m½f, AW) in March, though she has been way off the mark on two handicaps over further than this in recent runs. The drop to this trip, by 5lb in the weights and application of blinkers are all reasons to check the market this time.

Dropping in the weights and gradually becoming more competitive, as evidenced by her Beverley run last time. Down another 2lb here, which will help, while trainer also reaches for the hood. Not ruled out, though nor is it easy to be confident about her chance.

Won a fast ground Brighton maiden auction event over this trip in May and has become more competitive again lately, in a claimer and then last time in a C&D handicap (good to soft). From the same mark she looks to be a leading player again today.

Forecasts

Eolian (11/4), Alnasl (11/4), It's How We Roll (4/1), Daily Trader (4/1), Mister Chow (13/2), Broad Appeal (7/1), Moonlight Silver (8/1), Angel Of Rome (16/1)

Verdict

Although proving a little expensive to follow, EOLIAN is given one more chance to reward followers and may be able to do so after a slight drop in the weights and trip today. Several others are on the slide in the weights and carry first-time headgear, making this tricky for punters. Broad Appeal, Angel Of Rome and Moonlight Silver are the trio that should be checked in the market for signs of confidence. Alnasl is weighted to go close too, while It's How We Roll is another not ruled out.
