14/1
Winner at Wolverhampton in November. Fifth of 7 in minor event at Nottingham (5f, good to soft, 9/2) 47 days ago. Hood back on for this handicap debut and claims judged on useful 2-y-o form.

20/1
7½ lengths last of 11 to Corazon in Prix d'Arenberg at Longchamp (5f, good, 57/1) when last seen in September. Likely to encounter faster conditions than he's previously faced on this British debut for new yard, and opening mark is no gift.

Latest win at Kempton in February. 12/1, last of 9 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, soft) 19 days ago. Hopes very much pinned on the fitting of blinkers making the difference here.

Latest win at Wolverhampton in November. Fourth of 6 in handicap (5/1) at Chester (5.1f, soft) 19 days ago. Down 2 lb and he has to enter calculations.

11/2
Two wins from 4 runs this year, the latest at Wolverhampton in March. Last of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, soft, 4/1) 44 days ago. Conditions may well have been to blame for that low-key effort and no surprise where he to bounce back with a bold show.

3/1
Thrice-raced winner. 9/4, second of 10 in minor event at Bath (5f, good), making effort earlier than ideal. Open to improvement on this return/handicap debut and she's high on the shortlist.

7/2
Latest win at Kempton in March. 16/1, last of 6 in handicap at Chester (5.1f, soft) 19 days ago. Evidence so far suggests that he's a more accomplished performer on the AW.

33/1, last of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 14 days ago. Down in trip and visored for 1st time, he needs to bounce back in a major way.

Lightly-raced winner. Successful at Chelmsford City in January. 12/1, sixteenth of 18 in handicap at Ascot (6f, good) 17 days ago. Others make greater appeal.

Forecasts

Rum Cocktail (3/1), Resilience (7/2), Navello (9/2), High Velocity (11/2), Shanko (13/2), Golden Warrior (11/1), Papa Don't Preach (14/1), Solotov (20/1), Harb (50/1)

Verdict

This doesn't look as strong as the Chester handicap in which NAVELLO was fourth earlier this month and, now 2 lb lower, he gets the nod. High Velocity presumably didn't handle the slow ground at Thirsk and, promising prior to that, he will be a big threat if able to get back on track. Still, Navello may have most to fear from Rum Cocktail, who showed plenty of ability as a 2-y-o and brings potential to this handicap debut.
