Generally in good until appearing to hit the buffers at Salisbury last time out. Well handicapped but others look a tad more convincing on these terms.
Well handicapped and very capable on her day; the dying ground will suit her ideally. One to consider as long as the rain stays away.
Finally got off the mark when back over 6f at Brighton last time but that was a poor race and a 4lb higher mark makes life a lot tougher here. Jockey booking catches the eye though.
Left John Gosden after just two starts and yet to really capture the imagination. Unexposed for handicaps but needs to improve quite considerably before she can be recommended as one to follow.
Holding her form well - won a seller in good style at Brighton and gave a good account under a 3lb higher make next time out. More to do here but her attitude may be good enough to see her go close if nothing else.
Not shown much since leaving Luca Cumani and has a mountain to climb judging by the effort she posted on her handicap debut latest. Best watched just for now.
Exploited a dropping handicap mark to score at Yarmouth in May but has been disappointing on three occasions since. Drop back to 6f should help but others make more appeal.
Eleven races into her career and has never once threatened to rid himself of the maiden tag. Recent form is poor and this fellow isn't hard to leave out of the betting plans on face value.
Very capable over the trip and signs of a return to form last time out is encouraging. All the same, he is on a long losing run though and isn't one for maximum faith.
Form in maidens has been poor and offered little in the way of change when debuting in a handicap last time out. Safe to leave alone unless there is significant market interest.
Claims on the pick of her form and should have no issues with the trip. This is actually stronger than the seller she finished fourth in last time out and needs everything to go her way if she is going to get off the mark at the 23rd time of asking.
Gelded before the start of this season and possible he may have needed a couple of runs to put him back on the right path. Should handle the ground and no forlorn hope of making the frame in a very weak race.

Always risks attached when getting involved with handicappers that have seen better days but FLOWING CLARETS looks worthy of a punt at this level after a solid run in a better race here last week. She gets the nod in preference to Wild Flower and Cee Jay, who appeal as the best of the rest. That said, Celerity wouldn't have too much to find to make the frame and could be good value as an each-way option.
