Victorious twice over this trip already this season most recently in a four runner contest at Goodwood (good-to-firm) last month. Well held over 1m2f subsequently however and likely to appreciate the return to this trip.
Impressive 4L winner over 1m3f at Carlisle (good-to-firm) last month. Finished third over the same C&D subsequently and this extra furlong should suit.
Maiden after five starts and made a decent seasonal reappearance when fourth over an extended 1m3f at Windsor (good) in May. Struggled when last of four over this C&D subsequently however.
Narrowly beaten over an extended 1m3f at Haydock (good-to-firm) when wearing cheekpieces (replaced with a visor here) for the first time last month. Appeared not to stay 1m6f next time out and drops in trip.
Forecasts
Ad Libitum (7/4), Eyecatcher (9/4), Dr Richard Kimble (3/1), The Lincoln Lawyer (11/2)
DR RICHARD KIMBLE proved a disappointment down in trip last time but he can make a winning return to this distance with Eyecatcher, a non-stayer over further last time out looking capable of claiming the runner-up spot. Ad Libitum shapes as if this step up in distance will suit and he is taken to finish third.
