9/1
5/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 45 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Fine AW strike rate (6-15) and respected on debut for new yard, but more needed off this mark.

4/1
Below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Meydan (7f, 7/2) on latest start. Off 18 months ahead of this debut for new connections and interesting to see what the market has to say.

3/1
Temperamental sort. 40/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Ascot (12f, good to firm) 19 days ago. 2 lb lower now, drop back in trip no bad thing and he's not discounted, despite his foibles.

9/1, sixth of 8 in minor event at Newcastle (16.2f) last December, finding little. Absent since, but will be a danger to all back down in trip here if fully tuned-up.

Last of 8 in handicap at Goodwood (7f, good to firm, 14/1) 26 days ago. Significantly up in trip for this polytrack debut and needs to get back on track.

Forecasts

Gifts Of Gold (3/1), Protected Guest (3/1), Infrastructure (18/5), Gold Town (4/1), El Ghazwani (9/1), Homespin (11/1)

Verdict

PROTECTED GUEST admittedly comes with risks attached, but he wasn't beaten at all far when ninth in a strong 1½m Ascot handicap recently and may be worth chancing back down in trip here off a 2 lb lower mark. El Ghazwani's current mark looks tough, while Gold Town's lengthy absence is a worry and Homespin has a fair bit to prove. As such, Infrastructure and Gifts of Gold rate the main dangers.
