Winner over 1m4f at Goodwood (good) last year but well beaten on debut for this stable in an amateur riders contest over 2m1f here on good-to-soft ground last time. Drops markedly in trip today.
Victorious for the tenth time when successful over 1m2f at Beverley (good-to-soft) at the start of the month. Races off a mark 3lb lower than when third under a penalty last time and wears a hood for the first time upped in trip today.
Best effort in five starts for this yard came when 1L second over 1m4f at Doncaster (soft) in July. Fair effort under an amateur rider since and has won off higher marks in the past.
Successful three times already this year including over an extended 1m4f at Musselburgh (good-to-firm) last time out. Justfiied odds-on favouritism under today's rider on that occasion and one for the shortlist following a 4lb rise.
Only victory so far came over 1m1f at Musselburgh (good-to-firm) in a maiden contest in May last year. Well beaten fourth over hurdles on his only previous start this year and makes his Flat return following a break here.
Victorious over 7f at Musselburgh (good-to-firm) in a maiden 12 months ago and ran well when runner-up in a nursery over 1m on the AW subsequently. Well held on seasonal debut recently and worth a check in the market upped in trip.
Seven race maiden but put in a couple of fair efforts in handicaps of late. Cheekpieces worn when fifth of 13 at Thirsk (1m4f, good) last time out are retained today.

Thorntoun Care (7/4), Sheriff Of Nawton (7/2), Princess Nearco (4/1), Nepeta (13/2), Polar Forest (11/1), Chelsea's Boy (11/1), Le Deluge (16/1), Ghostly Arc (28/1)
SHERIFF OF NAWTON ran well under today's rider when finishing runner-up over this trip a month ago and can take this concluding contest off a 1lb lower mark. The selection put in a decent effort in an amateur riders contest subsequently and is taken to get the better of Thorntoun Care who has been running well this season including when winning last time out and can claim second under a useful looking apprentice. Polar Forest has placed over this trip in the past and is another worth considering.
