All three career wins came at this track last term over 1m2f and further for Chris Dwyer. Went lame and virtually pulled up here on first start for new handler in April and may struggle at a mile off this mark.

Ideally suited by a straight mile and has won three times at Redcar. Made all to score at Beverley penultimate start and only just touched off in repeat bid there last time. Goes well on top of the ground.

Four AW wins to her name but has placed 3-6 on turf and is no forlorn hope. Back up to a mile after finishing second over 7f last time here and runs off same mark.

Nine AW wins but no success to date on turf and has run poorly on this surface in last three attempts. On balance looks to face a stiff task away from the sand.

9/4
Relatively unexposed Kheleyf colt who has just five runs so far and followed promising third over C&D in May with easy 7f h'cap success on Fibresand at Southwell last time. On an upward curve but has to contend with harsh 9lb rise in his rating.

Yet to reach a place in six attempts on turf but did win on AW at Newcastle over a mile last year. Not too far behind when fifth over C&D penultimate start but looks to face a tough task.

Very modest form in six career starts between 1m and 1m4f. Posted best effort yet however when close fifth in amateur riders handicap at Lingfield last time. Makes turf debut.

Poor form in 10 starts to date during which he has failed to reach even a single place despite plumetting handicap mark. Very hard to enthuse over.

Forecasts

Khaan (9/4), Abushamah (7/2), Lunar Deity (7/2), Sonnet Rose (9/2), Boxatricks (5/1), Ascot Week (6/1), Brecqhou Island (8/1), King Oswald (8/1), Staplegrove (10/1), Pearl Spectre (12/1), Plucky Dip (14/1), Thundercloud (16/1), Coachella (20/1), Rotherhithe (20/1), Thunderhooves (25/1), Right About Now (25/1)

Verdict

A low grade handicap but it is well contested. ABUSHAMAH may just about come out on top having done really well on his last two starts. The straight mile should suit him ideally. Fellow northern raider Ascot Week hails from a yard in very good form and went close at Ayr recently so has to be on the short-list, while veteran Lunar Deity likes it here and is holding his form well at present. Southwell scorer Khaan won with plenty in hand last time but faces a different challenge off a much higher mark. He cannot be ruled out though, and nor can King Oswald.
