Has failed to make the frame in three handicaps since 7f Sandown novice win in June, only seventh of 11 at Doncaster (6.5f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Others appeal more.

Winner of 7f Newmarket novice in June but run of good form ended when last of 4 in 7f handicap at Newmarket 21 days ago. Still low mileage so worth another chance.

Back-to-back 7f wins over C&D and at Newmarket but well below par when fourth of 7 in handicap back at Newmarket (7f) 35 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

2 wins from 4 runs this year, and posted career best when winning 7f handicap (6/1) at Haydock 9 days ago with bit in hand. C&D winner too so he must enter calculations.

Dual 5f AW novice winner in winter who continues in good form in handicaps, fifth of 12 at Kempton (6f) 18 days ago. Makes turf debut and can make his presence felt.

Forecasts

Karibana (11/2), Almufti (11/2), Diocles Of Rome (11/2), Marshal Dan (6/1), Evening Sun (7/1), Epic Endeavour (10/1), Baashir (10/1), Nigel Nott (14/1), Blackheath (16/1), La Maquina (18/1), Boy In The Bar (20/1), Sir Titan (25/1), Manigordo (33/1), Dirty Rascal (40/1), Ziggle Pops (40/1), Lyndon B (66/1), Major Valentine (150/1)

Verdict

Lots with chances but DIOCLES OF ROME is weighted to go very close after an excellent third at Doncaster a week ago and he has the scope for futher progress on the back of a light campaign thus far this season. Recent Kempton scorer La Maquina heads the list of dangers, although C&D winner Marshal Dan and the lightly-raced Epic Endeavour are also well worth a second look in a very open handicap.

  1. DIOCLES OF ROME (IRE)
  2. LA MAQUINA
  3. MARSHAL DAN (IRE)
