Back in cheekpieces (tried before) when running a moderate race at Chepstow (1m4f, good) last time given a rare outing on turf. Kept to the same surface here but up in trip and with blinkers on for the first-time in an effort to break his maiden (0-1

6/1
Fair hurdler in the past (won off a mark of 108 last October) but hasn't won in this sphere since 2017 when trained in Ireland. Continues to fall in the weights without taking advantage, produced a laboured C&D effort last time off a 2lb higher mark.

Looked as though he was merely ticking over since returning from a break but did fare better than of late at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) last time. Well placed in that race he had the run of the race, has to now prove himself over this trip,

Won his first two hurdles efforts, failed to add any further victories in that sphere, remains a maiden on the Flat (0-11). Not seen to best effect at Wolverhampton last time (16.6f) on the back of a wind op, return to this trip may suit.

More consistent than most in this field, did have everything in her favour when winning at Newcastle in March (16.3f, slow). Ran with credit back from a break last time at Pontefract (1m4f, good), better race than this (form franked); shortlisted.

Stepped up on his return run at Leicester (11.8f, firm) last time travelling better than most of his rivals although still beaten 5L in second. Off the same mark up in trip, ought to be able stay this far, one of the likelier sorts in this.

10/3
Reliable enough at this level but hardly gives the air of one who is getting ready to win having hit the frame again last time at Catterick (15.9f, good). Has her quirks (can be slow away, races off the pace), still 2lb above her last winning mark.

Seen over hurdles more recently (0-5) his Flat form is fairly modest with most of it coming at shorter trips in this sphere. Blinkers return to be worn alongside the usual tongue-tie, still has something to prove over this distance, limited appeal.

12/1
Course winner (the only one in the field), successful over 1m4f in 2018, fairly-lightly raced since then, has slipped 3lb below that winning mark. Well below form last time on AW after 18-months off over 12.2f, fails to excite in this.

Not seen on the Flat since last October (hurdling in the interim), looked in reasonable heart when last seen in this sphere on AW (16.3f) finishing a one-paced fourth. Has an absence to overcome and would need one or two to falter, hard to recommend.

16/1
Lightly-raced maiden (0-4) from a yard in good form, potentially has more to offer in handicaps although offered little immediate promise on debut in this sphere at Chelmsford (1m6f, slow). Turf debut, not one to reject, worth a glance in the market.

Verdict

Bargain basement affair to end the card with most of these struggling to win races even at this end of the handicap. NEARLY THERE deserves a reward for his consistency a commodity that is hard to find within this field and he should enjoy a return to this trip after shaping well over 2f shorter at Pontefract last time. Ateescomponent should be on the premises if able to repeat his Leicester second last week where he travelled well for much of the race. Kitty’s Cove has her quirks but generally runs her race and may once again hit the frame. If there is one from left field to take a hand then it would be Rgeebee who has less convictions than most and steps onto turf for the first time.
