6½ lengths ninth of 10 to Havana Goldrush in handicap at Windsor (1m, good to firm, 10/1) 23 days ago, very slowly away. Tongue strap worn this season left off but the cheekpieces remain.
Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1, good second of 13 in handicap at Newbury (1m, firm) 13 days ago, sticking to task. Unexposed and should go well for his in-form yard.
C&D winner in April and went in again at Windsor (1m, good to firm, 17/2) 23 days ago, having run of race from front. Should remain competitive up 2 lb.
Won on AW on final 2-y-o start. Built on good Hamilton reappearance run when resuming winning ways at Pontefract (1m) 16 days ago. Only nudged up 1 lb. Likely to be in the thick of things.
Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 7 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, soft, 15/2) 71 days ago. Makes handicap debut having been gelded. Unexposed and needs a betting check.
Lightly-raced maiden. Off 5 months, might have needed the outing when seventh of 13 on 1m Windsor handicap debut 30 days ago. Remains unexposed but Pat Dobbs on Palamon this time.
Arrives in search of a hat-trick after 1m wins at Nottingham and Wetherby this month. 4 lb rise for last time is offset by his talented apprentice's claim. Bold bid on the cards.

Forecasts
War Chant (9/4), Hi Clare (9/2), Natzor (9/2), Havana Goldrush (11/2), Palamon (8/1), Jade Country (12/1), Adwan (12/1), Ciotog (18/1)
WAR CHANT can complete a quick hat-trick with Connor Planas taking a handy 5 lb off. Recent Hamilton winner Hi Clare may give him most to do ahead of Natzor in a race in which the 3-y-os may dominate.
