Ran well in Listed Chester race over 6f on soft ground when last spotted but that 22 months ago. Sports first-time eye-shields on debut for this yard, dual winner on AW at Newcastle needs a market check.

Winner at Chester in May last year over this trip, not happening in three turf runs this spring however and will have to prove credentials on artificial surface in bounce-back bid.

Took advantage of lower mark on AW to score over C&D 11 days ago, with likes of Tropics, Royal Birth and Udontdodou behind. Up 4lb and needs a career-best to follow up.

8/1

No real excuses at Epsom last time in valuable handicap having won there previously. Goes well no the AW and should bounce back in this company, makes the shortlist.

Forecasts

Tropics (7/2), Royal Birth (7/2), Lord Riddiford (7/2), Embour (9/2), Udontdodou (6/1), Just That Lord (8/1), Unabated (9/1), Spoof (11/1), Mokaatil (12/1)

Lord Riddiford had Tropics (second), Royal Birth (fifth) and UDONTDODOU (fourth) behind when scoring over C&D 11 days ago. The winner got a good seam into the race on that occasion and did things well but more will be demanded on revised terms. The selection had to come wide and, having shaped well on a couple of occasions recently, can make the most of a 5lb tug at the weights here. Just That Lord and Embour are others to be considered alongside those re-opposing rivals.
