Good servant to yard with four AW wins. Has been running respectably in the main without reward this year but never able to get truly competitive over 1m last time. Worth a look returned to a more suitable trip.
Was in decent form in handicaps and claimers for Ivan Furtado last season, though a switch in yard saw him regress this year. Reappeared for another new yard at Sandown last month and struggled badly. Best watched.
Placed once in four starts in Ireland last year, even contesting a Listed event. Never not competitive over 7f at Chelmsford on belated reappearance for a new yard last month but better expected over a longer trip now.
Not proving easy to win with but generally consistent this season, though could only manage third when fancied for a claimer at Windsor (1m2f, good to soft) latest. On a good mark if bouncing back to his best.
Sole success came on the AW at Lingfield (1m) back in March. Well beaten in five starts since, including in France, though most recent effort at Windsor offered more encouragement. Entitled to respect off present mark.
Showed some promise in a mile maiden on the AW at Dundalk in December but less impressive in two subsequent maidens over 1m2f. Makes a handicap debut for new connections now having not raced since June.
Winner on the AW at Chelmsford last year and steadily coming to the boil during a light campaign, finishing a close-up third over 1m at Lingfield last time. Raised 2lb for that but should remain competitive.
Seven wins from 46 starts on the AW with all those wins coming here. Out of form of lately though, including for a new yard, but clearly didn't stay 1m4f latest. This trip more suitable.
Still a maiden after six starts but improved drastically to finish runner-up at Sandown on her handicap debut two runs back. Couldn't back that up at Newmarket last time but may do better on the AW.
Finished a close second over 1m4f at Wolverhampton earlier this month but well held returned to turf subsequently. Still 4lb above his last winning mark and likely to find this trip on the sharp side.
Has really sprung to life recently, bolting up in decisive fashion over 1m2f at Newcastle before producing two brave efforts in defeat, most recently when touched off on the line. Edging up the weights but another bold bid anticipated.
Still a maiden but there have been some positive signs for this yard, most notably when a runner-up at Nottingham (1m2f, good to soft) last time out. Raised 2lb for that but looks a potential player.
Few miles on the clock but has offered plenty to build on, including when not disgraced in a handicap at Newcastle over 1m last time. Longer trip and a change of headgear here, not dismissed.
Forecasts
Peace And Plenty (7/4), My Brother Mike (10/3), Omotesando (9/1), Berlusca (9/1), Epitaph (12/1), Outback Blue (12/1), Buckland Beau (14/1), Island Brave (22/1), Never A Word (25/1), Shimmering Light (25/1), Ready (40/1), Chelsea Corsage (50/1), Gealach Ghorm (100/1)
Competitive stuff but it could take a good effort to lower the colours of PEACE AND PLENTY who has returned to form with a vengeance in recent weeks with two narrow AW defeats over 1m. Having won over 1m2f at Chelmsford on his final start last season, Willie Muir's colt should appreciate this step back up in trip and he may just have too much for the likes of My Brother Mike and Epitaph who have also gone close recently off similar marks. Buckland Beau should also appreciate this step up in trip and also figures off a potentially lenient mark.
