6/1
Returned to form with a third upped to this trip at Haydock (soft) last time out. Application of blinkers (retained) appeared to help that day and he races off a mark 1lb lower than for his most recent success.

C&D winner on good ground on his penultimate start but failed to replicate that effort when 3½L eighth on good-to-firm ground here in a similar event a week later. Needs to bounce back if he's to take this event.

Built on a promising ½L third over this C&D on good ground last month when winning by 1L here seven days later. Hood worn for both of those starts is retained and he holds strong claims despite a 3lb rise in the weights.

Return to this trip should suit having finished 14L ninth over an extended 1m at Hamilton (good) last time out. Market support would be notable back down to his last winning mark.

Ten race maiden has finished held on all three starts since joining this stable including over C&D on good ground last time out. Likely more needed if he's to take this contest.

Ran well to finish third in a handicap over an extended 1m at Hamilton (good) on his most recent start. Drop in trip no issue and is of interest once more.

Ten race maiden has struggled in three starts this season including over 6f at this venue recently. Others hold more obvious claims upped in distance.

Dual winner over 6f here and finished a decent 3L fourth over that trip on good-to-soft ground here last week. More needed if she's to register a first success over this trip.

Forecasts

Hachert (3/1), Big City (9/2), Equidae (9/2), Shortbackandsides (6/1), Jungle Book (13/2), Alioski (17/2), Lagenda (12/1), Jessie Allan (14/1), Mi Capricho (20/1), Indiaro (80/1)

Verdict

HACHERT remains open to improvement and he is taken to follow up his victory over this C&D last time out by taking this event off a 3lb higher mark. The selection has the forecast underfoot conditions to suit and can get the better of top weight Shortbackandsides who ran well when placed at Haydock on his most recent outing. Third place can go to Big City who is dropping back in distance and is another to have placed on his most recent outing.
  1. Hachert
  2. Shortbackandsides
  3. Big City
