9/4
Winner at Yarmouth in May. 16/1, fared better dropped in grade when third of 14 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 7 days ago, nearest finish. That was his all-weather debut and, clearly down to a workable mark, he's fancied to be in the mix.

33/1
Jumped none too fluently when eighth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (18.1f, good, 8/1) 14 days ago. Not seen on the level since last December and she can't be ruled out from a career-low Flat mark.

Fared little better back on the level on his first start for a new yard when sixth of 9 in handicap (40/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 13 days ago. Up in trip. Makes tapeta debut.

9/1
Thrice-raced maiden. 10/1, failed to improve any further despite an enterprising ride when fourth of 7 in minor event at Beverley (9.9f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Back up in trip. Makes handicap debut.

9/4
Lightly-raced maiden. 11/1, ran best race when fifth of 13 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to soft) 14 days ago, unable to sustain effort. That was his first start for 4 months (had breathing operation in interim) so may well feature today sporting a first-time hood.

3/1
33/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, ran creditably when third of 13 in handicap at this C&D 8 days ago. This just his second outing on the all-weather so he's one for the shortlist.

Forecasts

Heathen (9/4), Franco Grasso (9/4), Purple Ice (3/1), Longclaw (17/2), Forlio (9/1), Nastasiya (33/1)

Verdict

FRANCO GRASSO went close to making a winning start on the all-weather at Kempton last week, noted doing his best work late. Clearly down to a workable mark, Peter Chapple-Hyam's charge looks the one to side with today. Nastasiya makes her first start on the level for Rebecca Menzies and she may well emerge as the main danger from a career-low mark, with Purple Ice completing the shortlist.
