Good 7-22 strike-rate on AW including at Lingfield last month on penultimate start. Only turf win came in 2017 at Yarmouth over 7f off 9lb lower mark and has a tough task off top weight.

Only win from 20 attempts came on AW 5f in February but was close fourth only run on turf this season at Chepstow in June off this mark. Little more needed but may not be far away.

Last six wins have all come at 7f but failed by only a short-head at Chepstow 6f last month off 2lb lower mark. Poor effort since back over 7f but chance if able to bounce back.

Seven-race maiden who ran well when second a couple of times last year as a juvenile. Very disappointing all three runs this year since racing returned and has a lot to prove despite tumbling handicap mark.

Both wins have come on AW but is very lightly raced on turf and is open to some improvement. Not seen since March however so will do well to win although a market check is advised.

Won over 6f June 2017 but has mainly been campaigned at around the minimum trip last few seasons and has been well beaten on few attempts back at this distance. Stumbled leaving stalls and always struggling after on return in June. Not seen since.

Won Chepstow 7f h'cap last summer off 54 for Grace Harris but has struggled all three outings since joining current yard in May. Eased another 2lb but is hard to enthuse over in current form.

Landed Nottingham soft ground 6f novice last spring and not beaten far in a couple of handicaps later last term. Well beaten both runs this summer and seems well below previous form.

Handicap bow for filly who has hinted at a modicum of ability in three novice runs so far without troubling the judge. Having first start since wind surgery and hasn't been overfaced so wouldn't surprise to see her show improved form.

Infrequent winner (4-76) but hit the target in May over 5f and generally run creditably since so no reason why he won't run decent race back over this trip. Has scored at up to 7f in past.

Nine-race maiden whose best efforts have come at around 5f. Returned from eight-month break when well beaten over C&D in June and has another shorter absence to try over come now.

16 career races without winning but ran well when third in Ripon 6f h'cap last time staying on throughout the final furlong. Runs off same mark and strong jockey should help make his mind up for him.

Forecasts

Under Curfew (2/1), Garth Rockett (9/4), Porto Ferro (5/1), Cool Strutter (15/2), Outer Space (9/1), Smokey (16/1), Broughton Excels (16/1), Lady Monica (18/1), Glamorous Crescent (22/1), Tigerinmytank (28/1), Strawberry Hind (28/1), Santorini Sal (50/1), Impart (66/1)

Verdict

Not a great deal of worthwhile recent form to go on so it wouldn't come as a great surprise to see handicap debutant Smokey be there or thereabouts, but course regular PORTO FERRO may be primed to strike after three solid runs here in recent weeks. Tigerinmytank appeared to put up an improved effort at Ripon latest and a step forward from that would see him bang there, while any market support for Broughton Excels on his first start since March would be well worth taking into account, and Under Curfew is another who has a squeak on his best form.
