Patchy form under both codes of late, including when wearing a tongue tie on debut for new yard at Windsor. Fared little better in a similar race to this last time, and not easy to make a compelling case for him.
Won at Nottingham and Bath over this trip last month, and ran well when third in a better race at Leicester in his hat-trick bid. Ought to make a bold bid in this company with top rider booked.
Revitalised by a switch to current yard, building on promise of Windsor second to belatedly open his account in a 1¼m amateur handicap at Nottingham last time. Same jockey rides now, and he is shortlisted again.
Not long with current yard, and has run a couple of solid races in similar company, finishing 1¾L fourth of 10 to Nabhan in an amateur event at Epsom (1½m) last time. On a fair mark now, but drop in trip looks a negative.
Sole win came over 1½m at Kempton, and while he perhaps didn't stay 2m there last time, he was still rather disappointing, and this marked drop in trip doesn't look the answer.
Made a winning stable debut at Bath (1m) and ran to a similar level when third over 1¼m at Windsor last time. Place claims with a repeat, although not an easy ride on the evidence of those efforts, needing plenty of driving.
Not entirely discredited on her return, but form has taken a downward turn subsequently, and she makes very little appeal after again bringing up the rear with cheekpieces tried at Sandown last time.
Showed a modicum of early promise for James Tate, but none at all for current yard, and failed to do any better in headgear last time.

Blue Medici (11/10), Lucky's Dream (3/1), Gravity Wave (6/1), Magic Shuffle (8/1), Guardiola (10/1), William Hunter (12/1), Double Legend (20/1), Kismat (25/1), Imminent Approach (50/1)
BLUE MEDICI stands out having beaten an in-form rival on his latest start under today's rider. He is preferred to Lucky's Dream, with Magic Shuffle best of the rest, for all he doesn't look the ideal mount for an amateur.
