3/1
Still seeking his first win after ten previous attempts but has plenty of placed form on his CV; was making just his third start over 7f when short of room near the furlong pole and keeping on to finish third at Musselburgh (good) 11 days ago.

Turned over a John Gosden-trained favourite when winning a maiden on Tapeta at Newcastle (7f) last November; lightly raced and has had wind surgery since finishing last of eight in a Class 3 handicap at Sandown (7f) in June; ground?

Has finished second here (7f-1m1f) on four previous occasions, including in the Carlisle Bell Consolation in June (beaten a neck by Jackhammer); not at his best here last week and the forecast ground conditions appear problematic.

11/4
His sole win in 15 starts came over C&D (good to firm) in May 2018; on a handy mark (2lb lower) and broadly consistent throughout the course of 2019 despite finding others stronger at the finish; fourth of nine at Ayr (7f, soft) latest; hooded.

3/1
Beat Kynance by ¾L when winning a soft ground maiden at Redcar (7f, soft) last October; getting steadily worse (0-5) with each start in 2019 and needs a sharp upturn in fortunes in order to play a hand; runner-up here (1m, soft) last August.

22/1
Five-race maiden; 33-1 when down the field (tenth of 13) on turf debut at Lingfield (7½f, good to firm) in June; gelded and off since; very difficult to make any sort of positive case for with clear ground and overall form doubts.

Forecasts

Twin Appeal (5/2), Knowing Glance (11/4), Black Friday (3/1), Make Me (3/1), Zoravan (5/1), Mardle (13/2), Indian Sounds (10/1), Paddy's Pursuit (22/1)

Verdict

This race is best left to the in-form TWIN APPEAL who was a winner at Beverley on his penultimate start and also handles cut underfoot. Plenty of his opponents have questions to answer, including Make Me (disappointing form in 2019), Zoravan (ground) and Mardle (overall fitness). Of the remainder, the consistent and newly hooded Knowing Glance is most feared.
