9/4

Won a handicap at this trip last year and landed a pair of sellers at 1m2f in May. Disappointing when turned over at 2/5 in Windsor claimer last time but obvious claims in weak contest back down in distance again here.

Form: 8-01152

Max Guevara^p⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: David Egan| T: W R Muir| OR: 62| D

7/2

Best run this season was a fourth in Epsom handicap last week at 7f. No problem going back up to this trip where he landed a nursery last year and this represents quite a drop in class.

Form: 42-0994

Colonel Slade^t⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: B A Curtis| T: B J Meehan| OR: 61

15/8

Standout effort on penultimate run when making odds on favourite work hard at Bath but well below that form at Nottingham last week and although down in grade, has bit to prove after that.

Form: 6-8529

Klipperty Klopp⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 55

16/1

Has had few goes on turf and yet to convince this is his surface while his two attempts at 1m have yet to show he stays this far.

Form: 205550

Lippy Lady^h¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁵⁾| T: Paul George| OR: 54| BF

5/1

Generally consistent though yet to break her duck. Best efforts have been at this trip though looked a hard ride at Lingfield last time and often gives away ground at the start of her races.

Form: 543203

Little Tipple^p⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Laura Pearson⁽⁷⁾| T: J Ryan| OR: 40

80/1

Regressive maiden who has yet to reach the frame and well beaten at big prices all runs this year. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 090776

Forecasts

Colonel Slade (15/8), Izvestia (9/4), Max Guevara (7/2), Lippy Lady (5/1), Klipperty Klopp (16/1), Little Tipple (80/1)

A weak affair and a tentative vote goes to MAX GUEVARA who now drops in grade having shown something of a return to form in an Epsom handicap last week. Colonel Slade would be an obvious contender on his Bath second two starts ago but failed to build on that since and along with Izxestia, may give the selection most to do.
