Going the right way for a sprinter at this level and can go close again despite being raised 2lb for finishing second at Lingfield in his latest start. Still has more to offer and has to merit an interest in this modest company.

Won at Bath on her penultimate start but was put in her place from the same mark at the same course last time out. Ground should suit but the filly has a bit to prove regarding her ability to cope with a bit give under foot.

Won three times over 6f and is unexposed over the minimum distance. Copes with an undulating surface and is well worth a check in the betting Needs to dramitcally better the form of her debut run for this yard though.

Already a multiiple winner - including over this C&D - but best form has been on a firmer surface and recent evidence suggest he is could do with some assistance from the handicapper.

Has gone well here in the past but the drop in trip and softer than ideal ground are a couple of reasons to hold fire. The fitting of the visor for the first time is also an unknown and he is probably best watched.

Ran a blinder in a better race than this at Nottingham latest; very solid claims if able to dish out a repeat dose and, with the handy pull of a 5lb claimer, he makes plenty of appeal in a moderate race.

Won off a 2lb lower mark at Yarmouth in May but form has dipped since then and she now has a bit to prove. Drop in trip also a concern.

Nothing much to note from six previous starts and is probably best watched on this her first start for a new yard.

Forecasts

Zavikon (6/4), Stringybark Creek (9/2), Coronation Cottage (11/2), Everkyllachy (6/1), Dodgy Bob (7/1), Wahaab (16/1), Swendab (16/1), Rockalater (33/1)

Verdict

The may boil down to a match between Zavikon and STRINGYBARK CREEK. The latter comes into this on the back of a rock-solid effort and will be hard to peg back if able to throw down a similar challenge. Swendab knows how to win a race and can capitalise on any weaknesses from the rest. Coronation Cottage wouldn't want too much rain but is best of the rest on the evidence available.
  1. Stringybark Creek
  2. Zavikon
  3. Swendab
