Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P Cosgrave| T: J G Portman| OR: 68

14/1

Placed in a Lingfield (good-to-firm) maiden over this trip but well held in two handicap outings and more needed if he's to take this.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 68

Placed on both handicap starts so far including over 1m6f at Chelmsford last time out. Drop in trip shouldn't inconvenience him too much and he wears blinkers for the first time today.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Watson⁽⁷⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 68

33/1

Made the frame in two maiden contests so far but disappointing on both attempts at handicap company. Beaten 43L over 2m at Lingfield last time out and others make more appeal.

Form: 552-280

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: F Sweeney| T: A King| OR: 61

Challow¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Mitch Godwin⁽³⁾| T: S Kirk| OR: 61

11/1

19 race maiden though placed four times already this season. Well held over an extended 1m5f at Chelsmford last month and others look more likely winners of this.

Form: 335355

Kirkland Forever¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Fran Berry| T: B G Powell| OR: 59

33/1

Promising effort when finishing fourth of 13 over 1m3f at Kempton on handicap debut earlier this month. Races off a 1lb lower mark today and interesting to see how she fares.

UPTOWN FUNK stepped up on his first outing since being gelded when finishing third last time and he can register a first victory at the seventh time of asking today. The selection has some solid form to his name and can get the better of Hawridge Glory today. The latter steps up in trip having finished fourth the last twice while handicap debutant Zeelander, who represents a leading stable today can claim third.
