Bit below form seventh of 14 in handicap (8/1) at York (7f, good to firm) 17 days ago, not ideally placed after a slowish start. Back up in trip. Won off this mark last year.

Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Thirsk in April. 18/1, good sixth of 14 in London Gold Cup at Newbury (1¼m, good to firm) 14 days ago. That's normally a strong race and he's one to consider here.

Improved to win on 1m Haydock handicap debut and backed that up when a fine second of 14 at Sandown (1m, good) 9 days ago. Can give another good account from a handy inside stall.

11/8 and cheekpieces on first time, career best when winning 5-runner maiden at Redcar (1m, good to soft) 12 days ago. Did that comfortably but he did hang under pressure and may get away with such waywardness in this more competitive environment.

Winner on 1m Southwell handicap debut on reappearance in April. Respectable fourth of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (1m, soft, 10/1) since. Lightly raced and her best days are likely still ahead of her.

Verdict

Last month's London Gold Cup at Newbury is usually one of the hottest 3-y-o handicaps of the season so OLD SMOKE, who wasn't beaten far into sixth in that, might be able to show he's on a workable mark in these slightly calmer waters. Dancing In Paris has made a strong start to his handicap career and is second choice ahead of Gareeb, who looks the pick of the Charlie Johnston trio. Top-weight Coco Jack is another to consider.
