Winner last summer at Naas over 7f but has been in poor form since, only managing to beat one rival home in each of his last three starts in Ireland. On a good mark after a short break and needs a betting check.

Recorded his first victory on turf when winning over 6f on good-to-firm ground at Ayr last month. Been in consistent form of late and player here despite 5lb rise in weights with form of that win looking solid.

Just the one win from 19 career starts, over 6f at Newcastle (AW) in March 2017. Didn't enjoy much luck in running when close third over C&D in May and worth considering from same mark on first outing since.

Couple of promising efforts at Carlisle and Redcar in May over 5f on good to firm, but less encouragement to be taken from most recent runs at the same two venues. Bit of a bounce back needed now.

Lightly-raced maiden has shown signs of potential, fair effort over extended-mile here on soft going in handicap debut last month. Drops to this new trip for first time and gets a visor added, potential improver.

Shown no worthwhile form since August 2016 (when with Gay Kelleway) and was easily fended off last month at Catterick, hard to be confident.

C&D win was in September 2015 off a similar mark but the gelding has been out of form recently and is hard to fancy from 8lb out of the weights having produced a poor effort over 5f here recently.

Forecasts

Berlios (1/1), Epeius (7/2), The Mcgregornator (5/1), Bop It (11/2), Miss Dd (17/2), Zig Zag Zyggy (16/1), Raise A Billion (50/1), King Of Castilla (66/1)

Verdict

BERLIOS notched a first turf win at Ayr recently and looks poised to go well again from a 5lb higher mark. The third had come out and won since and he's got the excellent Simon Walker on board here. Epeius was third over C&D when last spotted in May, not having a lot of luck in running, while Bop It can get involved if breaking more alertly. The Mcgregornator needs a betting check.
