On a fair mark compared to turf exploits, and came good at Yarmouth two starts back when just holding on in a tight finish. Not so good latest but Beverley possibly not his track, and this far more suitable. Chances.
Not really progressing and only mild promise to be taken from two efforts this season. Possibly had issues and the cheekpieces on today will need to spark some improvement if he's to get involved.
Decent enough record at the track (two wins from seven starts) but recent efforts have left plenty to be desired. Return to a surface he likes the straw to cling to, but handicapper slow to relent and others look stronger.
Right back to form when a winner over C&D last time out (time figure decent for the grade too) and only 4lb higher here, so obvious chances of the follow-up from a decent draw if in the same mood.
Been a while since he got his head in front (July 2016) and recent efforts don't suggest he's about to bounce back to form. Yard very quiet at present too and others readily preferred.
Good effort at Musselburgh in the summer when second to Relight My Fire, but that was over a mile and efforts at this trip less encouraging. Poorly drawn as well and there are more likely winners.
Not done much in her three starts to date but this drop back in trip may help after not getting home over a mile and a half at Kempton last time. No more than fairly handicapped though, so needs improvement.
Winner at Brighton in July and well fancied in two starts since then, but has disappointed twice and now needs this new trip to find some improvement. Others preferred.
Plugged on late over 7f latest but well beaten in truth, and not really doing enough to suggest he's up to taking a hand here. Big step up in trip and makes little appeal.
Kept busy this year but no win on the board since January, and although there's the odd good run in between the mediocre ones, yard have had a poor year and on that, he's passed over again.
Not seen out since the spring but did show a modicum of ability on his last couple of starts, and this trip could be just the ticket. Worth a glance in the market if nothing else.
Still a maiden after 20 starts and although he tends to run his race more often that not, always finds something too good and that's probably the case again here. One paced and susceptible to anything with gears.
Well beaten at big prices all starts and no realistic chance of success here either. Makes next to no appeal.
A little bit of promise on her last couple of efforts at shorter trips than today's, and worth a try at today's trip on the back of then, but the bottom line is she does need to improve and on that, others more likely winners today.
Well beaten all recent starts and taking a huge hike up in trip here. Makes very little appeal from a poor draw.
Forecasts
Arcadian Sea (15/8), Mach One (9/4), Wootyhoot (8/1), Just Fred (12/1), Luxford (16/1), Hannington (16/1), Lord Of The Storm (20/1), Yasir (20/1), Adventureman (25/1), Dibloam (25/1), Nouvelle Ere (25/1), Bird For Life (33/1), Sonnet Rose (33/1), Tilly Devine (80/1), Somepink (100/1)
The pace here comes from those drawn high, but neither Adventureman or Nouvelle Ere makes that much appeal. The obvious one would appear to be ARCADIAN SEA, who came back to form over C&D last time and won with a little in hand. A repeat of that may well be good enough. Dibloam may be ignored in the market but chances are he's got more to offer than a few here and if there's money around for him, it should be noted. Hannington may be best of the rest.
- Arcadian Sea
