5/1

Had done his winning over a mile prior to scoring over 1m2f here last month. Clipped heels and never got into race at Sandown three days ago, possible he'll bounce back under excellent rider but questions over the trip.

14/1

Was having his first Flat run in three years when finishing midfield at Bath (1m5f, good) in June, needs to build on that effort but that shouldn't be ruled out.

7/1

December winner on the AW after joining this stable, no concerns with trip/mark but was well below best when last sighted in May and doesn't have a great record fresh.

Made return to the Flat when finishing in midfield in heavy ground at Haydock in June. Has missed a couple of engagements since and likely won't want to see more rain. Hasn't shown anything on the Flat since last August.

7/2

Leicester winner over 1m4f in May, very consistent in three runs since (two of them here) and just touched off at Sandown (1m2f, good) 18 days ago. Gone up 4lb since, but respected just the same.

10/1

Former C&D winner, without a win since 2016 now and this dual-purpose performer hasn't shown much form recently. Hard to made a strong case.

Form: 54-6665

Banksy's Art¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: Mr Guy Mitchell⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 61

11/2

Broke duck at Chepstow (1m2f, good to firm) on reappearance in ordinary affair. Lost his way a bit after that but shaped better on first start for new handler at Newbury last time. Capable of going well up in trip.

Mare was just 1-26 prior to wide-margin success in a seller on Lingfield's AW course 18 days ago. Left Gary Moore subsequently and doesn't face an easy task from revised, career-high mark on bow for new connections.

25/1

Filly offered something to work with in pair of 1m2f runs in May following layoff/wind surgery, but she has gone the wrong way since. Visor is reached for now and faces an uphill task on formbook.

General Allenby¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Miss Jennifer Pahlman⁽⁷⁾| T: S L Keightley| OR: 50

7/1

Just 1-24 on the Flat and hasn't truly displayed the pace needed to suggest he will add to the tally over a trip as sharp as this. First start for new trainer, watching brief.

Maiden after 19 tries in this code, well down the field latest effort at Bath and first-time blinkers unlikely to turn things around on these terms.

Broad Appeal (7/2), Arctic Sea (5/1), Banksy's Art (11/2), Country'n'western (7/1), General Allenby (7/1), William Hunter (10/1), Marengo (12/1), Borak (14/1), Maroc (16/1), Rocksette (16/1), Roy Rocket (18/1), Kismat (25/1), Eben Dubai (40/1)

Broad Appeal is up for 4lb having finished second last time but has been enjoying a decent campaign and shouldn't be overlooked with this longer trip in favour. Runaway Lingfield seller winner Rocksette must defy a career-high rating in order to double-up now starting for new connections, while Banksy's Art is of some interest having shaped well on his first start for a new trainer last time. ARCTIC SEA was rather luckless at Sandown this week (clipped heels) and gets another chance to turn out under the excellent Simon Walker here. They may take the finale.
