Thriving having won three of his last four including two over C&D. However, hard to say he had enough in hand last time to defy his new mark.

14-race maiden has become disappointing and now tackles a new trip. Mark has fallen dramatically but he has too many questions to answer at present.

Has improved since undergoing wind surgery and mark continues to fall. Yet to prove he stays better than his pedigree indicates, but latest run suggested it is worth a try.

Winner on turf at Lingfield in June and proved difficult to settle on return two weeks ago when also forced to race wide throughout. Should be less fresh this time and open to improvement.

Has finished down the field on all five AW starts and he is well below the levels he reached on turf last summer. Will be well-handicapped when the market speaks in his favour.

Not at his best lately but better last time when cheekpieces were fitted. Well-handicapped on the pick of his form if closer to his peak levels.

5/1
0-21 and has appeared a doubtful stayer at this trip. Nicely weighted with Iley Boy on running here in January, but connections are still to find the tactics that will pay off.

Placed just twice in 17 starts with the latest gained on soft ground. Well-beaten on all four AW starts and makes stable debut.

Record of 1-45 hardly makes him an appealing prospect. Placed a couple of times last year over C&D off higher marks, but recent stable debut hardly indicated he was close to that level.

Forecasts

Iley Boy (11/8), Lady Of York (7/2), Hi There Silver (5/1), Spiritofedinburgh (8/1), Feel The Vibes (10/1), Warofindependence (11/1), Pack It In (16/1), Ladofash (20/1), Santadelacruze (25/1), Patent (50/1)

Verdict

Iley Boy comes into this in great shape but his latest victory was hard fought and a 3lb rise may have taken his measure for now. Spiritofedinburgh is on a good mark with his latest run indicating he would soon be able to exploit it. Feel The Vibes needs to prove he stays but will be dangerous if he does and LADY OF YORK makes the most appeal. The filly is relatively lightly raced but won well at Lingfield last summer and did not have the best of runs when a close second at Chelmsford.
  1. Lady Of York
  2. Feel The Vibes
  3. Spiritofedinburgh
