Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 72

4/1

5/2, much improved to win 1m maiden at Chepstow last month, very strong at finish. Makes handicap debut now off handy mark with step up in trip also sure to suit so the one to beat.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: H Crouch| T: C G Cox| OR: 67| C

5/1

Much improved since sent handicapping and followed up his 1m win here with success in match at Salisbury. Up another 3 lb but should prove effective at 10f so much respected in his hat-trick bid.

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Megan Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: D Burchell| OR: 57| CD

25/1

Cheekpieces on when below-form sixth of 14 in handicap at Windsor (10f, heavy) 15 days ago. More needed if he's to open his account at the eighth attempt.

Forecasts

Motamayiz (10/3), Sun Tide (4/1), Willy Nilly (5/1), Water's Edge (7/1), Rotherwick (10/1), Canal Rocks (11/1), Uther Pendragon (12/1), Billhilly (12/1), Good Impression (12/1), Derek Le Grand (25/1), Magic Lute (40/1), Arthur's Court (50/1)

Ready preference is for recent Chepstow winner SUN TIDE who looks to have been underestimated now she goes handicapping and is bred to be well suited by this step up to 10f. Willy Nilly is another 3-y-o with better days ahead of him so rates the chief threat in his hat-trick bid with C&D scorer Uther Pendragon a solid place prospect.
