Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: George Downing| T: A W Carroll| OR: 70

33/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2017, showing few positives since joining this yard and now attempting the mile for the first time; others are preferred.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Liam Keniry| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 69

20/1

There was certainly promise is last year's efforts, though not quite as good in two handicap this time around. Return to this trip a plus.

Form: 535-08

Highfaluting¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Ryan Tate| T: J M P Eustace| OR: 69| CD

5/2

Career-best when winning 14-runner handicap over C&D a fortnight ago, just holding on at the line. 3lb rise looks fair, could well have more to offer as a miler.

Form: 64-3291

Chloellie¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: T P Queally| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 69| C

12/1

Five-time course winner should be suited coming back here having struggled lately on turf. Excellent strike-rate on this surface, though does need to prove she wants this mile trip.

Come On Tier^v²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Kieren Fox| T: L Carter| OR: 68| D

33/1

Won a seller around Lingfield in April before joining this team, hasn't mustered a serious challenge in two handicaps since however and hard to be confident in chance.

Bollihope²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Connor Beasley| T: S L Keightley| OR: 66

6/1

Yard in decent form and not beaten far on return at Pontefract (1m, good; 7-1) last month, 3-19 previously on artificial surfaces and could go well here with fitness boosted.

Form: 43-1243

Baashiq^p¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Dane O'Neill| T: P W Hiatt| OR: 66| CD

11/2

Backed into favouritism prior to winning over C&D last month, not as good since on soft ground at Nottingham, but could find his stride again back here.

Roof Garden⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M Murphy| OR: 65| D

7/1

Twice won over this trip at Chelmsford around this time last year for previous trainer. Lost his way since but potentially well-handicapped if bouncing back for new trainer.

Makambe^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 63| D

7/1

Third behind re-opposing Highfaluting over C&D a fortnight ago, is better off on these terms with that rival and no reason not to rise a challenge.

Form: 357643

Golden Guest⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J L Eyre| OR: 63| CD

7/1

Previous C&D winner in 2017, promising run in third at Carlisle just five days ago and needs some consideration on that evidence.

Form: 80-4493

Weloof¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Darragh Keenan⁽³⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 63| D

40/1

Did he best work late on over C&D a fortnight ago in race won by Highfaluting. Was sent off 100-1 that day and, while never threatening, did offer something to work on at least.

Rifft¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: R Havlin| T: Mrs L Richards| OR: 62

33/1

Moderate third at Salisbury (7f, good to soft; 66-1) recently on third start. Step forward now sent handicapping isn't ruled out. One to watch in betting.

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Liam Jones| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 60| CD

Scored over C&D in April and now lurks on the same mark, albeit form since leaves her with definite work to be done.

Forecasts

Highfaluting (5/2), Baashiq (11/2), Bollihope (6/1), Makambe (7/1), Golden Guest (7/1), Roof Garden (7/1), Chloellie (12/1), Takeonefortheteam (16/1), Fronsac (20/1), Rifft (33/1), Come On Tier (33/1), Bengali Boys (33/1), Weloof (40/1)

Baashiq came in for strong market support prior to scoring over C&D last month and any similar move now would be worth noting, with his Nottingham run since on turf easily overlooked given the softer conditions. HIGHFALUTING was also a winner here recently however and a 3lb rise might not halt him in this follow-up attempt. He's got plenty scope for better as a miler and can go in again. Chloellie will go well if her stamina holds out, while Bollihope represents a yard going well lately and has had a pipe-opener on turf to get ready for this.
