AW record of late more persuasive and this 5f course winner arrives now just 1lb higher than that success. Below par latest on turf but form on synthetic surfaces persuasive enough to ignore that and put him on the shortlist.
Over a year since he won now and even his latest third only fair form when favourite for a claimer. Handicap is within capabilities but recent form must be improved upon.
10-time winner between France and Italy but yet to really find his feet here. 50/1 third two starts back at Lingfield (7f) hinted that he may be coming good but struggled since in a warm Newmarket contest. Better chance here.
Up 4lb and a level in class after winning at Windsor last time. Arrives in good order then but doubt he's well treated after said rise.
Almost three years since last win now and although his latest run was his best since joining this yard it came over 7f where he did his best work late on so a drop to 6f not on the face of it ideal.
Three-time winner and Group placed in France but yet to really feature in three starts for this yard. Gets 3lb here but having been beaten 12L latest others still appeal more.
Almost took advantage of tumbling handicap mark latest when a neck third at Newmarket over 5f. 5f does seem favoured these days but won over 6f earlier in career and off the same mark he should go close here.
Won twice on the Fibresand at Southwell in April but form away from that venue in 2019 considerably less persuasive (record elsewhere 2-27). Others appeal more.
Three-time 6f Polytrack winner including C&D and at Kempton last time out. Up 3lb and a notch in class but seems to be thriving now and should again make a bold bid.
11 months since he won but ran a fair race here three weeks ago before causing a false start at Goodwood when he broke through the stalls early. This a level up in class and suspect others stronger.
Forecasts
Moon Trouble (11/4), Busby (7/2), Storm Over (4/1), Ultimate Avenue (7/1), Erissimus Maximus (8/1), Giogiobbo (10/1), Zac Brown (12/1), Tomily (16/1), Rio Ronaldo (20/1), Katheefa (25/1)
In a pretty open contest a chance is taken on improving four-year-old BUSBY who won last time, a third success in his last six starts; all on this surface. Rio Ronaldo ran well at Newmarket latest and is feared even if he may be better over 5f and Giogiobbo may be creeping towards a first win in this country; a class drop for him helps.
