11/4

An improved performer this year, scoring again under Simon Walker at Newbury a fortnight ago, keeping on well from Fast Steps. 8 lb higher now and could defy new mark.

10/3

Back to winning ways after 8 weeks off/gelding op in Ayr handicap over this trip 3 weeks ago, holding on gamely. His form has a good look to it and he can go well again.

Noble Mark²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-1| J: Miss Flora Guy⁽⁷⁾| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 78

15/2

Dual winner over shorter this term and has proven too keen the last twice. Upped in trip now and needs to settle better.

Age: 3| Weight: 10-1| J: Miss Megan Jordan⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Teal| OR: 78| D

20/1

Won 2 of his 3 starts on the AW during the winter but has failed to make an impact on turf the last twice (gelded in between). Bit to prove.

Form: 15-144

Forecasts

Study The Stars (11/4), Bad Company (10/3), Bruno's Gold (10/3), Fast Steps (11/2), Noble Mark (15/2), Sophosc (11/1), Silverscape (20/1)

SOPHOSC was value for extra when getting up from Fast Steps at Newbury under this rider 4 weeks ago and has good claims in his hat-trick bid back up in trip. Study The Stars also saw off Fast Steps at that track last time and is respected again despite an 8 lb rise. The lightly-raced Bruno's Gold could have more to offer and is another to consider.
