Sixteen runs since last win in 2020 and below his best both starts this season but drops in grade now and must enter calculations.

Eighteen runs since last win in 2020. 11/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Haydock (7.2f, good to soft) 11 days ago, slowly away. Has eased further in the weights but needs to step up on recent efforts.

All the better for reappearance when winning 13-runner handicap at this C&D (good) 23 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Impressor, readily. Good chance from 6 lb higher if turning up in similar form.

Shaped as if needing the run when eighth of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good, 16/1) on return 17 days ago. Back down to last winning mark and not taken lightly with a recent run under her belt.

Merely underlined inconsistency when ninth of 11 in handicap (22/1) at Thirsk (5f, good to soft) 11 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Needs to bounce back.

Fair maiden. Went backwards from reappearance when well held at Thirsk (6f, good) 23 days ago but has since had a breathing operation.

Poor maiden who offered little after 4 months off when 11½ lengths tenth of 13 to Classy Al in handicap at this C&D (good) 23 days ago. Hard to fancy on the back of that.

Showed improved form to get off the mark in 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 4/1) 21 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. 5 lb rise looks fair and merits consideration.

Forecasts

Impressor (10/3), Classy Al (10/3), Tar Heel (9/2), Brazen Idol (8/1), Sir Benedict (9/1), Kodebreaker (11/1), Elladora (12/1), Earn Your Stripes (14/1), Bobby Shaftoe (16/1), Nodsasgoodasawink (25/1)

Verdict

CLASSY AL opened his account with something up his sleeve over C&D 23 days ago so a 6 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up. Elladora is back down to her last winning mark and can't be taken lightly with a recent run under her belt, while Wolverhampton-scorer Brazen Idol is another who merits consideration.
