Placed for the first time in six starts when showing improvement for the step up to this trip at Nottingham. Was staying on at the finish and looks to have more to offer over this sort of test.

Took advantage of much reduced handicap mark to break through at Thirsk but held subsequently off 6lb higher mark. More required but has shaped as though this further test of stamina may help.

11-race maiden who seemed to benefit from drop back to 1m4f when just behind Handsome Bob at Thirsk. Stamina query at this sharp rise in distance.

Unplaced in six starts but hasn't been beaten far last twice. Shaped as though he needed this trip at Wolverhampton so no surprise he found things happening too quickly last time. Could improve now with cheekpieces added.

Well held in six starts so far and needs to find improvement for this step up in trip. Plenty of stamina in his pedigree and has shaped as though he needs further so worth a check in the market.

Looked in need of a stamina test when just going down narrowly at Beverley. She was running on strongly and didn't cope with the drop back in distance last time. More to offer back at this distance if getting a strong pace to aim at.

25/1
Unlucky when suffering interference behind Handsome Bob at Thirsk and again only just failed to get up when perhaps her inexperience just counted against her at Hamilton. Has had five quick runs in a row and has shaped as though this test will suit.

9/2
Seven-race maiden who showed improvement when second at Wolverhampton. 1lb lower and looks on a handy mark but has to prove she needs this step up in trip.

Well held in all eight starts so far and plenty to find from her Thirsk run. Races from out of the handicap and remains best watched.

Forecasts

Duration (6/4), Dubai Frame (7/2), So Near So Farhh (4/1), Chickpea (9/2), Handsome Bob (16/1), Stirling Value (20/1), Kitty's Cove (25/1), Sunhill Lad (33/1), Pearl's Calling (100/1)

Verdict

So Near So Farhh has shown she needs a strong test of stamina and should be a leading contender back up to this distance. A number are trying this trip for the first time and both Duration (for an in-form stable) and Dubai Frame should improve for it. KITTY'S COVE has been busy in a career of less than two months but has shown improved form on her last two and the daughter of High Chaparral's pedigree is loaded with stamina
