Won over C&D last July off 78 and landed two more successes after that in 2019. Running into form following the enforced break and was close third at Newmarket at the weekend. Every chance if able to find a touch more here.

In fine form last summer winning trheee sprint handicap but soared up the weights as a result and could find life tough this term. Last of 11 on recent return and first-time tongue-tie added to aid breathing.

Won here in April 2019 off 70 and added two more victories last term. Fair third at Newmarket latest on ground softer than ideal and may not be far away here on a decent surface off 1lb lower.

9/1
Winner on debut in Newbury 6.5f maiden in 2018 but no joy in five starts since. Eased total of 7lb in handicap since start of last month after three modest efforts but still appears an unlikely winner.

Speedy gelding who made winning return at Bath earlier this month then went close despite 5lb rise at Sandown last time. Runs off same mark and quite possible he'll be bang there once again.

Landed C&D novice event on only second start in July last year and again ran well here last time when beaten half a length in C&D handicap. 2lb rise make life tougher but clearly enjoys it here and should go close once again.

13/2
Chelmsford 5f maiden winner in February and not disgraced in both recent runs at Lingfield and Bath. Jockey has healthy 17% strike-rate for this yard so looks like a decent show is anticipated.

Forecasts

Thegreatestshowman (2/1), Texting (4/1), Michaels Choice (9/2), Autumn Trail (13/2), Intimate Moment (8/1), Thrilla In Manila (9/1), Grandfather Tom (14/1)

Verdict

INTIMATE MOMENT has a win and a second to her name from two visits to this track and is taken to go well again after failing here by just half a length last time. Autumn Trail may give the selection most to do with the jockey booking catching the eye, while at the top of the weights Thegreatesthowman ran a solid race at HQ recently and if things drop his way won't be far away once again. In a contest where it's hard to rule out any of the septet, Michael's Choice may prove best of the rest.
