Back-to-back winner of 7f handicaps at Wolverhampton during the winter. Set a stiff task at that venue when last seen in March and mark looks high-enough on this just his second turf outing.

Three-time winner as a 4-y-o, including a career best to land a 15-runner event at Newbury on her final 2019 outing. Very likely needed the run on reappearance here 3 weeks ago.

Produced a career best back at 6f for the first time this year when winning 11-runner handicap at Windsor a month ago. Fair effort when seventh in a deeper race at Ascot a week later.

Inconsistent sort who often races freely, looking a bit half-hearted when push came to shove at Goodwood 18 days ago. Is edging down towards last winning mark, at least.

Chester winner in the mud in June 2019. Has bene shaping up quite well this season, rider dropping reins when fourth at Ripon last time so he's one to consider.

Confirmed his return to form when second of 14 at Doncaster on his penultimate start. Denied a clear run in the Bronze Cup last week so that run can be ignored and he's one to take seriously.

As good as ever on second start for this yard when springing a surprise at Ayr in July. Off 7 weeks after and unable to continue the good work since.

Winning return at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) in June and cast aside a couple of lesser efforts over 7f when successful over this C&D 16 days ago. Up 5 lb but a player if getting good pace to aim at.

Shaped as if coming to the boil when fifth at Ripon and well backed to land Ayr Bronze Cup for the second time last week, only to unseat his rider at the start. Worth another chance.

Produced a career best in first-time blinkers to get off the mark for the season in 6-runner handicap at Chepstow last month. Up 6 lb but put in another excellent shift when fourth at Ascot.

Losing run dates back to 2018. Runner-up twice in July but form has levelled off in better races of late and others are more persuasive in a change of headgear.

Forecasts

Music Society (4/1), Commanche Falls (9/2), Punchbowl Flyer (6/1), Call Me Ginger (7/1), Quick Look (7/1), Indian Creak (17/2), Molls Memory (10/1), Beyond Equal (12/1), Big Les (12/1), Medicine Jack (22/1), Ghaith (66/1)

Verdict

Having shaped well at Ripon, MUSIC SOCIETY's repeat bid in last week's Bronze Cup was over at the stalls when he unseated his rider. Compensation for that mishap may well be forthcoming here though given he's dropped to an attractive mark, with Punchbowl Flyer and Quick Look perhaps the pick of the opposition.
