Broke his maiden on just his second run at Wetherby over 1m2f. Was unable to follow it up last time at Sandown as he had to settle for fourth of 14. Stepping up in trip here on handicap debut which makes him very interesting. Leading player.

Has not been successful since she completed a hat-trick in 2017. Her performances so far this season have progressively got better. She was third of 11 on the AW at Kempton (1m3f) last time. Remains off the same mark so has an each-way chance here.

Has been in good form on the AW, with success coming at Wolverhampton (1m4f) two starts back. Could only come home seventh of 11 on his return to turf on his previous start at Goodwood (1m4f). Down 3lb. Others appeal more on this surface.

Was in superb form at the back end of last year where he was successful five times, four of which were on the AW surface. Has struggled recently, including latest at Newbury (1m4f) when fourth of five. Something to prove over this trip.

Remains a maiden after six races but produced his best run yet last time over this C&D when second of six in what was his first attempt at this trip. Another strong showing can be expected off just a 2lb higher mark.

6/4
Was successful over this C&D last time by an impressive 7L in a 14 runner field where he stayed on strongly from the rear of the field in a strong run race. Up to class 4 today so more may be needed but definitely one for shortlist.

Forecasts

Mukha Magic (6/4), Zoffee (5/2), Gold Stick (11/4), Ocala (7/2), Oh It's Saucepot (7/1), Unit of Assessment (12/1), Lost History (25/1), Noble Behest (28/1)

Verdict

GOLD STICK has already tasted success and there could be much more to come from the colt who is open to improvement, especially on his handicap debut here where he is stepping up in trip. His yard are in fantastic form at the moment so expect a big run. Mukha Magic was successful over this C&D last time and he will be staying on strongly at the finish once again here to be in the frame at the very least, while Ocala will have to defy a 3lb rise up the weights but should not be far away.
