Yet to add to his four 2021 wins this term, but he shaped encouragingly after 3 months off when fourth in listed race at Haydock (5f) in May. Possibly unsuited by the track in Epsom Dash since and handicapper has relinquished his grip.

Unbeaten in 3 starts as a 3-y-o, latterly when defying 4 lb lower mark at Ascot (5f) in September. Hasn't progressed as expected in 2 starts this season, well held at Ascot (6f) during early May but it remains early days with him if short break has positive effect here.

Landed back-to-back AW handicaps in March and showed his customary speed for a long way when midfield in 20-runner Epsom Dash 4 weeks ago. Handy draw on the rail to operate from but very best form on all weather.

10/1
Dual winner at up to 6f last season and ran close to his best when runner-up at Windsor (5f) in May, settling better than usual. Proved too free when sixth of 9 back at that venue (6f) 3 weeks ago but he rates a live each-way player here.

Been some time since he scored but he did find things coming easier to him when 1 length fourth of 7 at Windsor (5f) on his latest outing 26 days ago. Eased further 1 lb since but his task is to back that up now.

Made a good start for this yard, posting a career best effort to edge ahead close home at Goodwood (5f) in April. Not helped by racing on far wing in big-field handicap at Ascot (5f) subsequently and best treated as still in form.

9/2
Facile winner over C&D last spring who resumed winning ways at Wolverhampton (6f) in October. Run with credit on 2 of his 3 starts so far this campaign and whilst booking of Ryan Moore catches the eye, he remains above last winning mark.

C&D winner who landed handicaps at Salisbury and Windsor in 2021 and he took a sizeable step forward from first 2 starts this term when runner-up here 3 weeks ago, reeled in close home. Not so well drawn this time, however.

Enjoying a productive year for this yard, proving most consistent prior to adding another Newcastle success to his tally 9 days ago. Effective on turf and she's respected in present groove from a handy draw.

Forecasts

Nelson Gay (9/2), Shamlaan (5/1), Lovely Mana (6/1), Mine's A Double (6/1), King Of Stars (7/1), Tone The Barone (15/2), Live In The Moment (8/1), Beyond Equal (10/1), Fantasy Master (10/1), Just Glamorous (14/1), Autumn Flight (20/1)

Verdict

LOVELY MANA confirmed she's a filly operating firmly at the top of her game when scoring in good style at Newcastle 9 days ago and, effective on turf, she could well be worth siding with to back that up from her revised mark under William Buick. Mine's A Double has yet to kick on as expected this campaign but it's too soon to be writing him off. Shamlaan can also feature.
