On a losing run of 17 starts but a consistent performer on an AW surface. Struggles to convert with 11 seconds or thirds from 18 AW starts but just the one win and remains high in the weights at 8lb higher.

Won this race last year on stable debut off 3lb lower (the middle leg of a hat-trick of wins). Awarded the race when hampered at Ascot last time and is a horse to follow once he hits form. Rates a leading hope.

All five wins have come over this C&D and 2lb higher than the last of them in February. Should be better for his recent turf run and a better horse on this surface. Could be involved although this a grade higher than he normally contests.

Sole win came in a Chelmsford novice in February and all AW runs have come there. Needs to lift his form on latest three runs although is falling to a decent mark if taking to this surface.

Unbeaten in two starts, over a mile on the AW Kempton and 1m0.5f at Nottingham. Leading stable in good form. Beat a horse last time who had been Listed placed previously and placed in a strong Newmarket handicap since. Likely type on handicap debut.

Now 2lb lower than last of two turf wins but ran well on sole AW run at Wolverhampron. Stable in form and racing close to his best in three of four runs this year. Could be involved.

Course winner off 1lb lower over a mile and went close over this C&D in April. Below par on his last three starts and will need to be back to his best in this company.

Sent off at 50-1 when finishing eighth of 11 in a bunch finish over a mile here last time. This is tougher still and all his six AW wins have come at Southwell. Others preferred.

Followed up on a Leicester win with a strong finish off a fast pace over this C&D. Lightly raced and although he's significantly up in grade, he's on a sharp upward curve. Should get another strong pace to aim at and remains unexposed.

Forecasts

Honest Albert (11/8), Barristan The Bold (5/1), Breanski (5/1), Sandret (6/1), Defence Treaty (9/1), Gentle Look (9/1), Commander Han (11/1), Glengarry (18/1), Portledge (33/1), Areen Heart (33/1), Monsieur Jimmy (40/1), Showboating (66/1)

Verdict

A strong renewal with last year's winner Breanski hitting form at the right time. The unbeaten HONEST ALBERT has the pace to cope with the drop in trip and the form of his second win suggests he could be better than a handicapper in due course. Defence Treaty is also improving rapidly and should get the race run to suit. Likewise Sandret should progress in a contest that should be run at a fast tempo. Barristan The Bold is racing to a consistent level while Gentle Look can't be dismissed.
