2/5
A winner on debut at Leicester last May and went on to finish second at Listed level (twice) and in a conditions race. Off since July but could prove a cut above the rest of these if the lay-off isn't an issue.

Improved to get off the mark at Leicester on the second of his two runs as a three-year-old. Needs to progress again under a penalty could well do so.

Off the mark at the second attempt at Bath last time out. Still not as high in the weights as some due to her fillies' allowance and has the benefit of De Sousa keeping the ride.

Down the field on debut at Thirsk last month and not an obvious candidate to improve for his first run, but probably the best of those yet to win a race here.

Drops in trip from the 7f he raced over for his Newcastle debut having raced keenly in the early stages of that race. Others make more appeal.

Didn't seem particularly well-fancied for his debut at Kempton last time but still surprising to see one from this yard go so poorly on their first run, and should be capable of better here.

Praxedis200

16/1
Raced green/keenly on only start at two. If she's learned her job from that run she should finish closer here but still unlikely to give the major players much to think about.

Forecasts

Roussel (2/5), Charming Guest (5/1), Zumurud (12/1), Praxedis (16/1), Airglow (16/1), Impulsive Force (33/1), Scimitar (33/1)

Verdict

This will probably be between the previous winners, with ROUSSEL making most appeal. He may not have yet added to his debut win from this time last year, but he has finished second three times, including twice in Listed company. Even under a penalty, that level of form should easily be enough for him to pick up a second career win here, provided his absence since last July doesn't prove to be an issue. Charming Guest is narrowly preferred to edge out second from Zumurud, but there's probably not much between them.
