Won at Windsor (5f) in July. Solid efforts since, not least when third in the Portland at Doncaster 18 days ago. Extra yardage here will suit and he's one for the shortlist under top claimer.

Won at Ripon in July but he's beaten just one home in Great St Wilfrid Handicap there/Ayr Silver Cup the last twice. Cheekpieces replace visor. Fair bit to prove now.

Has won at Pontefract and Beverley this year. Not best placed in the Portland 18 days ago though likely struggled anyway in such a competitive contest. This not much easier.

Has done well this year and was value for extra when easily landing 6f Lingfield handicap 16 days ago. Back up in class after 6 lb rise and worthy of respect.

Impressive winner of 6f Goodwood maiden on return and improved again when a fine second on handicap debut at Salisbury (6f, good to soft) 4 weeks ago, tanking through the race. More to come.

C&D winner who pushed Summerghand close at Pontefract in July but hasn't reproduced that since in some top handicaps and losing run continues. Visor back on. Lowest mark for 6 years.

Steady improver on AW over the winter, winning twice. Couple of good efforts back on turf this season and visor that lit him up last time quickly removed. This looks a shade too tough.

Bimble (15/8), Clareyblue (5/1), Yimou (7/1), Punchbowl Flyer (7/1), Rock On Baileys (9/1), Production (10/1), George Bowen (11/1), One Night Stand (12/1), Mokaatil (16/1), Rock Boy Grey (18/1), Belated Breath (22/1), Tenax (33/1), Saluti (40/1), Case Key (50/1), Citron Major (50/1), Malvern (80/1), Major Valentine (150/1)

Verdict

BIMBLE is the potential big improver here having caught the eye with the way she tanked through the race when second on her handicap debut at Salisbury 4 weeks ago. She'd previously won a Goodwood maiden impressively and more success is surely on the cards. Yimou, who was a fine third in the Portland, and Production, a big eye-catcher at Pontefract, are two of the main dangers.

  2. YIMOU (IRE)
