In good form towards the end of last seen but has barely beaten a rival home in two starts this time around. Still above his last winning mark and has a bit to prove at present.

Well suited to fast ground on turf and all her best efforts have come over this trip. Has never won from a mark this high though and this would appear to be a competitive affair. Others preferred.

Consistent sort but still hasn't got his head in front in 18 starts. Disappointed at Brighton last time and while 1m on fast ground is probably just about his optimum conditions, he's hard to fancy given his profile.

Losing run is starting to mount up now. Yet to place in three starts for this yard but his fifth at Kempton last time was slightly more encouraging; needs to build on that now.

Won once in three starts as a juvenile and returned with a smart effort at Wolverhampton in March. Failed to back that up here last time though when well beaten earlier in the month. Will need to bounce back to play a part stepped up in trip here.

Gained a first win since debut at Brighton last time out. Doesn't always look like the most straightforward type and he will need to improve now dropped in to a deeper race on a higher mark.

Winner of a claimer last time out at Leicester but has plenty on his plate to back that up in handicap company on debut for new connections.

Won with a bit in hand at Brighton last time out and expected to build on that now sent handicapping. Has run well on undulating tracks and he looks like a fascinating contender here.

Forecasts

Alrahaal (3/1), Balgair (7/2), Mr Tyrrell (7/2), Bacacarat (5/1), Fake News (13/2), Plant Pot Power (9/1), Medieval (10/1), Ghost Serge (14/1), Bint Dandy (14/1)

Verdict

ALRAHAAL got his head in front for the first time last time and with a less exposed profile than many of his rivals, he's taken to make it back-to-back wins in a winnable race. Plant Pot Power needs to build on a more promising effort last time at Kempton last time while Bacacarat clearly has talent and isn't ruled out if he can put it all together here.
