Creel¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-12| J: P Makin| T: D H Brown| OR: 76

9/2

Did not appeal as being well-handicapped before his Nottingham third. That has earned a further rise in the weights and that sets him a stiff task against horses who are more leniently treated.

Form: 9373

Austin Powers²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: A Mullen| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 71

9/2

Remains a maiden after eight starts but has shown enough to indicate he can land one of these. Good effort back from a break here last time and the extra furlong is in his favour. Dropped in class and hard to dismiss.

She's Royal⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: G Lee| T: B Smart| OR: 70| BF

25/1

Had been improving before a poor run at Southwell. Has gone well here though and she should prove that latest run all wrong, however her current mark sets a tough test.

Form: 7637

Handsome Bob^v1⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: D Tudhope| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 70

15/8

Noted staying on for third last week over the extended mile at Wolverhampton. Had produced another solid effort there in a 7f maiden and would not have to improve by much in a first-time visor.

Form: 6433

Canadian George⁴⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: P Mulrennan| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 67

6/1

Has improved with each run and has looked ready for this trip as well as a handicap mark. Failed to negotiate the bend last time when heavily backed and no surprise if he proved good enough to land this.

Form: 534

Lord Caprio^t⁹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: T Eaves| T: B Haslam| OR: 55| C

7/2

Returned from a gelding operation to score under a confident ride to outrun odds of 33/1 last time. A penalty still leaves on the right side of the handicapper as he is due to race off a 6lb higher mark next time.

Form: 6801

Keith Dalgleish sets a poser by saddling two horses who have been the subject of support previously. Handsome Bob wears a first-time visor and Candian George has been waiting for chance to run in a handicap and tackle this sort of trip. Austin Powers is dropped in class and should come into his own over this trip. All have work to do if LORD CAPRIO reproduces last weeks enthusiastic effort. A gelding operation and first-time tongue-tie saw him produce a career best and, despite a penalty, he is still 6lb "well in" as he races off a mark of 67 from next week.
