6/4

C&D winner. 5 wins from 6 runs this year. 11/4, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Pontefract (18f, good) 8 days ago, idling. Should give it a good shot under a penalty.

12/1

12/1, fourth of 5 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Wasn't beaten far on that occasion and, down another 2 lb, he's not completely ruled out.

Form: 61-5864

Sarvi^b²²

17/2

Eleven runs since last win in 2019. Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Perth (16.2f, good, 12/1) 22 days ago. Runner-up here off this mark on latest Flat start and she needs considering.

1/1

Two wins from 5 runs this year, the latest at Southwell in April. 18/1, last of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (14.5f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Down in grade now and he's a big player.

Forecasts

Silver Shade (1/1), Let Me Be (6/4), Iconic Belle (6/1), Sarvi (17/2), Red Missile (12/1)

Cases can be made for each of these, but the 3-y-o SILVER SHADE is the one with the most appealing profile. Mark Johnston's charge was flying too high in Class 2 company last time and was progressive prior to that, winning twice on the all-weather before chasing home the unexposed Zinc White on turf debut at Sandown. The prolific Let Me Be is feared most.
