7/2
Smart performer. Drawn a blank since Newmarket listed win last summer but this looks a shade easier than the Sandown handicap he contested last time. Should be up to doing something from this mark.,

Won 9-runner handicap at Windsor (1m, good to firm, 9/2) under Mark Crehan 23 days ago. Ought to remain competitive after a 4 lb rise.

Career best when winning over 7f at York in May but ran no sort of race in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot since. Yet to prove he stays 1m.

9/1
Tough, versatile handicapper who came from well back to land Northumberland Plate in June. Better than he could show in John Smith's Cup at York since but this trip on short side for him nowadays.

9/4
Very useful sort who went close in a small-field event over C&D 15 days ago. Only nudged up 1 lb and another prominent showing looks on the cards.

5/1
Took record to 3-4 when posting a useful effort to land a 1m Newcastle handicap on reappearance in May. Not up to Newmarket Group 3 since but respected back in calmer waters.

Forecasts

Shelir (9/4), Vintager (3/1), Marie's Diamond (7/2), Tinker Toy (5/1), Nicholas T (9/1), Volatile Analyst (10/1)

Verdict

A useful heat in which a narrow vote goes the way of MARIE'S DIAMOND who didn't acquit himself too badly in a very competitive handicap at Sandown on Eclipse day and has been dropped 3 lb since. Shelir went close over C&D last time and should go well again, while Tinker Toy has a progressive profile if his effort in a Group 3 last time is ignored.

  1. MARIE'S DIAMOND (IRE)
  2. SHELIR (IRE)
  3. TINKER TOY
