3/1

Shaped as if better for race when eighth of 11 in handicap at Newbury (8f, good to firm, 11/1) 22 days ago. Still relatively unexposed for his age, and should be spot on now, so worth chancing.

Form: 0/221-88

18/1

Latest win at Chelmsford City in April. Last of 12 in handicap at York (10.2f, good, 25/1). Off 124 days. Back down in trip. Gelded since last seen but has a bit to prove on turf.

Form: 212310

9/1

One win from 21 Flat runs. 12/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Ascot (8f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Might be better off at 7f.

Ajyaall^h¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 89| BF

6/4

Creditable second of 8 in minor event at Ascot (8f, good to firm, 9/4) 12 days ago. May yet have more to come if he fully applies himself, so definitely one for the shortlist.

Form: 21-4562

5/2

2 wins from 6 runs this year. Form of latest York success not working out and down the field back there since but not one to give up on just yet.

Forecasts

Ajyaall (6/4), Dejame Paso (5/2), Chance (3/1), Marie's Diamond (5/1), Ropey Guest (9/1), United Front (18/1)

CHANCE ended last season on the up and, while both outings this year have been sub-par, he would likely have needed his return at Newbury 22 days ago, so could be primed to get back on the up. Ajyaall looks a notable rival on the back of a good second at Ascot, while Marie's Diamond could play a part if allowed to dictate matters.
