7/2, fifth of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 20 days ago, doing too much too soon. Drop back to 6f may help and needs considering.

Winning reappearance/handicap debut at Newcastle in June. Possibly unsuited by softer ground when well held at Newmarket latest. Cheekpieces added now. Draw not ideal.

Dual winner at 2. Respectable fourth of 7 in handicap at York (5f, good to firm) on reappearance 20 days ago. Likely to be sharper with that behind him and return to 6f a help.

Lightly-raced winner. Too free over 7f at York last time and the drop back to 6f will suit (third over C&D on penultimate start

C&D novice winner last summer. Well held in 7f/1m handicaps this year so the drop back to 6f will need to make a difference.

Forecasts

Breath Of Joy (10/3), Many A Star (5/1), Star In The Making (5/1), Benefit Street (7/1), Abstemious (10/1), Phuket Power (10/1), Magical Max (10/1), Melody King (12/1), Custodian (16/1), Treble Treble (20/1), Oakenshield (22/1), Stone Soldier (28/1), Hurcle (33/1), Auckland Lodge (50/1)

Verdict

The form of STAR IN THE MAKING's first 2 runs this season look solid and she may be the answer now dropping back to sprinting. Phuket Power and Breath of Joy arrive in form and are well drawn, while Magical Max should also have a say if pulling out a bit more for first-time cheekpieces.

  2. PHUKET POWER (IRE)
  3. MAGICAL MAX
