Winner over a shorter trip at this track in April, appears to stay this far and may return sharper for a recent break having had a busy time of things in early summer.

Losing streak is now 14 runs dating back to 2015, has won over 1m6f around here before, but hard to fancy on current form dropping back in trip.

Hasn't run badly in two starts for this trainer, second last time at Chester (1m2½f, good) and must prove he really wants this stamina test.

Has won over this trip on turf as recently as June for former trainer, but comes into this on the back of an alarmingly poor run at Newcastle last time out over this distance and can only be watched now.

First run for this yard came over C&D a fortnight ago, forced to run wide and make up plenty ground in bid to get competitive, weakened then but could have a say granted better passage and with 3lb relief to aid cause.

Winner of a C&D maiden in April, the filly has twice found it tough going back here in handicaps and still looks to be held by the assessor for now.

Still a maiden but there have been some positive signs lately and could go well switched to AW (has run well previously in Ireland). Doesn't have much to find on best efforts.

Filly has improved markedly for switch to handicaps / step up in trip, winning her last two at Brighton and Chelmsford. Cheekpieces retained here but has a 6lb penalty to defy for ½L win. Could improve again.

Struggling for best form recently and remains a maiden after eight starts, on a fair mark if able to produce best stuff.

No threat in four starts including last month's handicap debut over 1m6f at Redcar, has to bring something to new to the table.

A 15-race maiden now, beaten an awful long way at Chepstow last month over this trip on soft ground and not favoured on these terms.

Forecasts

Send Up (6/4), Stepney (7/1), Mambo Dancer (7/1), Epitaph (7/1), Deep Challenger (9/1), Norab (9/1), Berlusca (9/1), Star Ascending (12/1), King's Coinage (25/1), Almutamarred (28/1), Royal Headley (50/1), Pershing (66/1)

Verdict

SEND UP has looked a different proposition since stepping up in trip to go handicapping and Sir Mark Prescott's filly didn't seem to be pushed to the pin of her collar in scoring last time at Chelmsford. With another 3lb added now, she could prove more than able for the challenge of completing her hat-trick. Almutamarred didn't make things easy with a wide run from a long way back last time and isn't discounted here while Epitaph would have some claims on best form.
