5/1

Runner-up on fast ground here over a mile in May but hasn't run well in three starts since and is now 5lb lower. First-time visor applied to try and focus his mind but it needs to work the oracle for him to score.

25/1

Placed a couple of times n AW this winter but hasn't been in great overall form. Returns following wind surgery and is arguably well handicapped now if he has turned the corner. Apprentice rider takes off further 7lb

7/2

Still unexposed after just five starts. Won C&D maiden on seasonal reappearance in May then close third on handicap bow over 7f at Kempton. Beaten favourite Thirsk last tme but is open to improvement with star rider on board for in-form yard.

Form: 53-134

9/4

1-13 career starts, sole victory in C&D maiden in May last year. Run creditably most starts in handicaps without getitng her head in front and is easing down the weights. Fair third latest here over 5f after break and champion jockey takes over.

Form: 40-3263

7/2

Yard in decent form of late and this gelding hacked up by 7 lengths at Brighton last week on first start since wind surgery. Carries just 5lb penalty so well in and has major chance if exertions haven't taken their toll.

7/1

Looks a slightly tricky character and reared up at start last time at Leicester. Second at Wolverhampton AW previous run off 1lb lower when slow away suggested she's up to winning a race or two at some point.

10/1

Won C&D 12 months ago on first start for yard and scored again at Lingfield in March. Every chance over C&D last time until faded quickly approaching final furlong and more needed to figure.

Forecasts

Lalania (9/4), Cent Flying (7/2), Local History (7/2), Greek Kodiac (5/1), Great Shout (7/1), Kraka (10/1), Satchville Flyer (12/1), Roys Dream (12/1), Bernie's Boy (25/1), Rotherhithe (25/1)

Assuming CENT FLYING is fit and well after his recent Brighton romp he has a big chance of following up under just a 5lb penalty with his stable in good form at present. Lalania should appreciate the step back up to 6f after running well at the minimum trip last time, and the unexposed Local History is feared as he is surely a touch better than we've seen so far in handicaps. Bernie's Boy is not without possibilities on his first outing since undergoing a wind operation.
