Winner of a bad race here last month but underlined her wellbeing at Fontwell two weeks ago. A 6lb rise in the weights for that C&D victory looks harsh but there is a lack of reliable competition in this.

Now 10lb below his last winning mark but yard are having a poor year. Blinkers are now employed but he looks risky at present.

Looked one paced when producing a career best in the mud here last time to finish third of five in a higher grade race. That effort may flatter him and a tendency to hang makes him one to be wary of.

Has looked well treated for a while but has not looked ready to win any time soon. Latest effort was a backward step but earns a further 3lb drop in the weights.

Last win on the Flat came in January 2013. Both efforts last month suggest that drought will not be ending soon.

21-race maiden who has been off the track since October 2016. Form looks distinctly poor and hard to recommend.

Looks clearly held by Hermosa Vaquera on running here a month ago and well beaten again since. Visor now tried.

Well beaten on all starts to date and arrives here with the stable going through a quiet spell. Hard to fancy.

Forecasts

Hermosa Vaquera (2/1), Wassail (9/4), Ravenswood (11/4), Halling's Wish (7/2), Tatawu (8/1), Sir Dylan (12/1), Barbary Prince (12/1), L'ami De Rouge (14/1), Ocean Bentley (25/1), Rod Of Iron (33/1)

Verdict

A distinct lack of recent form to go on here with just Hermosa Vaquera and WASSAIL having produced noteworthy performances this season. The former landed a poor race here last month but this looks just as bad. A 6lb rise in the weights for that victory may just tilt this towards WASSAIL who was narrowly beaten off this mark in a better race last time and who has the services of Silvestre De Sousa.
  1. Wassail
  2. Hermosa Vaquera
  3. L'ami De Rouge
