7/2
Well beaten on all three outings so far. Finished 18L fourth at Epsom (good-to-soft) over 7f last time but likely more to come for a leading yard now tackling handicaps.

8/1
Signs of ability on his penultimate outing over 5f at York (good-to-firm) but well held upped to 7f at Musselburgh (good-to-firm) last time out and others make more appeal here.

Put in three fair efforts so far including when sixth of nine over 7f at Brighton (good-to-firm) last month. Tackles this trip for the first time on handicap debut.

10/1
Finished fourth over 7f the last twice including at Wolverhampton on his penultimate outing. Shapes as if this step up in trip will suit but more needed here.

Age: 2|  Weight: 9-1| J: Rowan Scott(5)| T: K Dalgleish| OR:  54
7/1
Only modest form over spring distances in three starts so far. Likely to appreciate this step up in trip and worth a check in the market on handicap debut.

5/1
Sent off favourite on debut at Kempton in May but well held on that occasion and a similar story in two turf runs since. Yard have a 38% strike-rate (5/13) in recent weeks and an interesting runner despite a wide draw with cheekpieces fitted for handicap debut.

9/2
Making her handicap debut when finishing 5L third of 11 over an extended 1m at Nottingham (heavy) last week. Races off the same mark today on her first outing on this surface.

16/1
Finished a close fourth in a soft ground selling contest over 7f at Catterick last time out. Career best effort on that occasion but likely needs to improve on that to take this on handicap bow.

Unplaced in all eight starts so far including in selling company on his last three outings. Poorly drawn and others look more likely in this contest.

Forecasts

Bombshell Bay (7/2), Daffrah (4/1), Sixties Secret (9/2), Headline Act (5/1), Le Gros Serpant (7/1), Bad Dog (8/1), Four Fifty Three (10/1), Mimram (12/1), Miss Mazzie (16/1), Heavenly Pulse (28/1)

Verdict

The in-form stable of Archie Watson saddles handicap debutant HEADLINE ACT in this 1m nursery contest and she can register her first victory with cheekpieces added for the first time today. The selection can overcome a wide draw here with fellow handicap debut Bombshell Bay taken to finish runner-up on his first start on the AW. Sixties Secret put in her best effort so far over an extended 1m at Nottingham last time and she can claim third here.
