Resumed winning ways at Newmarket (7f) in June and ran a cracker when runner up back there 3 weeks later. Blew the start both starts since and he can ill afford to do that around here.

Dual handicap winner here in 2019 who stepped up again when winning similar event at Musselburgh (7f) last month. Ran well when fourth in a 6f listed event here 10 days ago and this more suitable.

Successful in the mud at Goodwood last September and best effort of present campaign when close up third at Epsom (7f) 2 starts back. However, proved a disappointment at York since.

Epsom winner last summer who left opening pair of exploits in his wake equipped with a visor to score readily over 7f here 6 days ago. Plum draw to operate from and lead player under a penalty.

Form was hit and miss after a long absence last term, yet he did shape as if back in form when sixth in big field Goodwood handicap (7f) last month. Claims if he can build on that from 3 lb lower mark

Dual winner last season, including when making all from the plum draw over C&D in May. In good form on AW earlier in the year and likely he'll be sharper for his Haydock spin 12 days ago.

Returned in fine form this summer, scoring at Beverley (7.4f) prior to overcoming a positional bias at Thirsk (7f) last time. Clearly in rude health but draw in 13 makes things tough in hat-trick bid.

Useful handicapper in 2017. Proved he retains some ability on third start back this term at Haydock (1m) last month but it wasn't enough to make him of immediate interest.

In-form 5-y-o, who arrives having pushed his younger stablemate close in a class 2 York handicap (7.8f) last time. 2 lb higher now but respected in this form from a handy draw.

Multiple winner who ran best race last year when second in a C&D event 12 months ago. Mixed bag this campaign but he does arrive here on the back of a good third at Haydock (1m).

Doubled his AW tally at Newcastle (1m) in June and similar form when placed in handicaps at Redcar/Haydock. However, shade disappointing at York (7.8f) latest.

Dual juvenile winner but well held all 3 starts this season, admittedly going off too hard at Ascot (1m) on his most recent start. Not the easiest to assess at present.

Forecasts

Revich (6/4), Tadleel (5/1), Gabrial The Wire (13/2), Battered (8/1), Al Erayg (17/2), King Ragnar (10/1), Queen's Sargent (12/1), Blown By Wind (16/1), You're Fired (22/1), Alemaratalyoum (22/1), Club Wexford (25/1), Three Saints Bay (25/1), Sha La La La Lee (40/1), Glasvegas (50/1)

Verdict

REVICH stepped up considerably on his first 2 starts this term when successful over 7f here last week, coming with a sustained run from the back to win by 2 lengths. Unsurprisingly turned out under a penalty, he looks set to go well again from the plum draw in 1. Tadleel is similarly well drawn and ran well at York last time, so he is feared, ahead of Battered and Club Wexford.
