Poor this season and handicapper is treating her cautiously. Probably needs to slip further before becoming more competitive. Has been problematic at the start and another slow exit could be costly from this draw.

Winner on this surface in better grade at Newcastle but latest effort was poor. Trainer can bring them back and jockey booking is positive.

Drop in class, a change of tactics and a career low mark produced his best performance in some time 11 days ago. Only previous AW effort was a difficult test and it remains to be seen if this is his cup of tea.

Has winning form around here but has been in serious decline over the past twelve moths. No signs of an imminent return to better things on latest outing.

Has won three races here but a 12 month absence at his age raises questions. Will need to be at the top of his game to take this off this mark.

Poor on each run since arriving from France and the current form of the stable makes a turnaround look unlikely.

More impressive at Musselburgh last week than when landing a C&D success a month ago. Rider/trainer combination 10-38 this year and she looks capable of defying a 6lb rise.

Lingfield AW winner whose two best efforts of 2017 have come here. Appreciated the step up in trip three weeks ago and has a realistic chance.

Last of seven at Ripon on stable debut following an absence. Much better on AW tracks but there is still plenty of work to be done.

It is usually a bad sign when Galileo's stock wear headgear but he appears to have some ability judged on his efforts since going handicapping. May need patient handling and a race run to suit but impossible to dismiss in a race lacking depth.

Forecasts

Sir Gnet (7/4), Alnasl (5/2), Maraakib (6/1), King of Dreams (8/1), Archipeligo (10/1), Pacofilha (10/1), Barnaby Brook (14/1), Mighty Lady (16/1), Northdown (16/1), Miss Minuty (20/1), Vastly (20/1), Accurate (25/1), Idol Deputy (40/1)

Verdict

Alnasl is improving at a fair rate currently with her yard in excellent form. A further rise in the weights is less demanding in a race lacking depth but in KING OF DREAMS she faces a rival who is looking attractively weighted. His last two starts have indicated he was finding his level and another drop in the weights gives him a first rate chance here. Maraakib bounced back under a more positive ride last time and if as effective on this surface he will go close again.
